Hello and welcome to a new week! This week the focus of your blog post should be the novel we have begun studying: Tracey Chevalier’s ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring.’ How much of the novel have you read? What are your impressions of the novel so far? What do you think of Griet? Is she the kind of character you imagined the girl in Vermeer’s painting to be? Why/ why not? If there is anything about the novel or the characters that you do not understand, write about that too. When you have written your post, respond to the posts of at least two others on the blog roll. You may be able to clear up a question someone else has asked about the novel!In today’s lesson you will also have some time to explore the author’s website and read about her inspiration for the novel and why she thinks the girl in Vermeer’s painting was a maid – despite the pearl earring she is wearing. Happy blogging!
