What does sitting down to a meal before her mother, offering to get the butter, and asking the servants to call her by her first name indicate about Charlotte? Be specific and detailed in your response.
Sitting down to a meal before anyone else is called disrespectful in her family. Her family thinks that no one should sit down and eat before the others. Charlotte is used to it though because on a ship, the rules are different as in everyone sits down and eats whenever. Offering to get the butter was like she was a servant and her father doesn't want her to work because they have servants to do work for them. Her father doesn't want the servants to call them by their first name because he wants them to praise him and he believes they are poor people who need to work. On the other hand, Charlotte is no longer snobby like her family and sees that that is wrong and no one should be treated less than the others. So she wants them to call her her own name and not listen to her father. This all shows that she has changed very much from when she boarded the ship and that she used to be very worse and selfish like her family now.
This all means that Charlotte has changed and is now more of a "commoner." On the ship, she would be used to eating whenever she had time, with or without other crew members, and getting whatever she needed by herself. She did not have someone to wait on her, but she had to fend for herself. That meant doing things her own way, even if others did not agree. Such as when she became a sailor and Captain Jaggery despised her for it. She also insisted to be called by her first name because that is what everyone calls her. Charlotte needs to be treated the same as everyone else in the world, even if that means she is poor with little food and water. She would not care about that, she only wants to be happy, and that is the lifestyle she chooses permanently.
I agree with Maria because on the ship, manners were never used. They called them by their first names, they get whatever they need, and they eat whenever they feel like it. This means that she had changed while on the ship. She is now, normal, rowdy, and disobedient.
She wanted to do things herself and be independent with the butter situation. When thenmaidngot it I think it ticked her off because I think she felt that her father was making all the descions. When the maid didn't call her Charlotte it made her mad because to her, she wasn't a "miss" anymore. She wanted to be called who she is.
I agree with Jason, because in the butter situation, Charlotte is used to getting her own things. Then when then when the maid went over and got the butter, Charlotte got a liitle aggravated. Then when the maid began to call Charlotte by "miss" that mad even angrier, and Charlotte demanded to be called by her regular name, because being called by "miss" is not who Charlotte Doyle IS!

ReplyDeleteThis shows that Charolette is self-reliant because she never had to wait for others when she was on the ship.
