Description
1834-10-11
This article is about someone’s experiences with weather….. They felt like the weather was not extremely cold or severely hot after living in England for “two summers and a third winter.” She says that there was never any weather in England, which we call hot in America; and also, that there is no thunder and lighting. The writer compares the weather of New York and Pennsylvania to England’s which reminds me of how Charlotte Temple ended up in New York, the weather must have been a lot different by the sounds of it. The writer then talks about a little town called Ryde which is located directly across from Portsmouth and has a population of about 4000 people. She specifically talks about how Ryde’s “inclination towards the bosom of the beautiful field of water lying between the Isle and the Main, and towards the long line of surrounding and superior objects, is a rare a physical beauty.” In CT one of our words that occurred a lot in our readings was bosom and I thought it was interesting that it showed up in this piece of writing as well. Next it talks about an English Cottage “inclined towards the east” and it mentions that “almost twenty miles across the water, is Chichester Cathedral. I found this to be interesting because in Charlotte Temple her house that she lived in with her parents was referred to as a cottage.
