Sarah Holt- Comments 1&2

I agree with Philip when he talked about the scene with the librarian. He is correct by saying the Henry Burton is self-disciplined. This shows that he really wants the job. Philip also mentioned that Henry keeps his cool. I believe this is from his experience in former politics.

Matthew’s first paragraph was really good. I like the way he talked about Burton’s characteristic-perceptiveness. You can tell by reading the first chapter that Burton is very aware of what is going on all around him; rather than just himself. He gives the reader a sense of what is going on with everyone.

Yes, I think one of the best things about the narrator's not being a major character is that his telling is less polluted by trying to defend his own actions
