Response to Charlotte Temple

While reading this book I found myself filled with a lot saddnes for Charlotte. So far I'm enjoying reading even though in the begining there were parts I was confused, but later I was able to catch up with it and found it enjoyable. As a reader I really like that while I was reading the book, I could totally feel all the emotions that Charlotte was going. I was able to feel a lot empathy for her and what she going through. At times there were parts which I thought the author exxagerated a lot in some situation. However, that did not stop me from having all these emotions while reading it. At time I thought the exxageration was pretty entertaining. When reading more of the book I was shocked how my feelings toward Montaville began to switch. At first I was against Montaville and what kind person. All I could think was how dare does he do something like that to Charlotte. Just when I had my mind set on how horrible of a person he was, I read more of the book and I began to understand the situation he was in. Even though I was starting to see that he wasn’t as horrible of a person as I thought, I still do not agree with how he left charlotte by herself. I know he felt inlove with another women and I also believe in marrying the one you love, but that was not excuse to leave Charlotte. Somehow I feel like he rushed falling for Julia and he never gave a chance to Charlotte to see what kind woman she was going to become. Reading Charlotte situation made think of how till these days there so many girls who are still going through situation like hers. Especially, young and naïve girls that let men take advantage of them and bring them to America, while making them believe they would take care of them and never do. I personally know few women who experienced situations like these and reading this book made me think of them.
