Always traveling around and not having a set destination or having her mind set is the story of a 23 year old Penny. Penny has been traveling from Montreal to Calgary will be teaching students who don’t know how to speak a word of French. Left behind in Montreal is her fiancé Andrew who is a part of the army and loves Penny with all his life. He wasn’t very happy with her decision of leaving because he soon wanted to marry her since they have already been engaged, but confused Penny just goes with her gut feeling and promises to come back to him after she’s done teaching.
When Penny got to Calgary she didn’t know anyone until she met a friendly guy David. David is an architect who is working on several projects. Penny and David are really friendly for a bit and love going on walks together, however after a while David got busy and they lost contact which confuses her even more.
A few weeks left before the year ends is when Penny is done teaching and planning on returning back to Andrew she meets Gerard. When Gerard and Penny have their last dance together she has the description of “the tempo and rhythm are like nothing Penny has heard before. But the lyrics tell the same story”. So then Penny proposes to Gerard saying that we have things in common we should get married. Gerard didn’t seem to like the idea and tried putting her off. The end was more of a mystery because it didn’t state on who she actually went to but from reading this whom do you feel Penny should be with???
*She should not put Andrew on hold and should tell him the way she feels, however if she is not certain who to choose, she shouldn't marry at all.
ReplyDelete*Do you think that the character in the story is actually ready for marriage? and what other way could help Penny actually decide?
Well from me reading this story I would say that no she isn't really sure because one she's going back to Andrew but then she asked Gerard that they should get married. I don't think she should get married until she actually makes up her mind. A way for her to decide from my point of view would be to actually go back to Andrew and see if there are any feelings there. :)
ReplyDeleteIn the end of the book of which you were reading, were there any foreshadowing? indicating any hints towards the choice she is going to make?
ReplyDeleteno there wasn't it was just like stopped in one moment and hard to predict anything but from previous hints, it may be that she goes back to andrew!
ReplyDeleteI feel as if she shouldnt of left her fiancee Andrew, because maybe they shared other common interests that werent known as well.
ReplyDeleteDoes the fiance know she had proposed?
And was there a reaction?
Also, if you were engaged, and met another guy and assumingly you fell in love, would you propose?
Yes the finace know's she had been proposed and her reaction was very calm. Also if i fell in love with someone i would expect them to propose because i wouldnt have the guts too.
