Daisy Miller

In today’s society you don’t find many girls like Daisy Miller. Most girls care too much about what others think and say. Daisy could care less of what people said about her and what people thought of her. Daisy does some things that a typical girl her age wouldn’t do in this time period. Her mother is very ill and doesn’t pay too much about her children. Daisy runs around doing whatever she wants. She meets a young American guy, named Winterbourne. Winterbourne is visiting his aunt when he meets Daisy Miller. Since Daisy has no one really looking out for her, she seems a little rebellious. I like how Daisy and Winterbourne both don’t care what others think. They both know that Winterbourne’s aunt does not want to meet Daisy because she is too “common”. That still doesn’t stop them from seeing each other. A few days later Winterbourne takes Daisy to Chillon. Winterbourne tells Daisy that he must go back to Geneva in the morning. Daisy and Winterbourne then make a promise. Winterbourne says that he will take Daisy to Rome. I like the story because no matter what they try and work things out. Even though they are being split they know that they will one day see each other again.

  1. I liked how cadet Clontz managed to integrate the story’s plot and conflicts with her own personal opinions regarding the story and real life. She really brings a good point when she mentions that Daisy did not really cared what other people thought about her if not she would have not done all the crazy stuffs she did, and I really liked that because in today’s society we are just so worried on what others think about us regarding our actions and we just try to be like what others expect us to be. I really do not see the point on that because that is what makes you unique and is just your personality but we are just too worried on what others think instead of what is going to make us happy. Daisy is a perfect example of that and I admire that on her.
