Well we started reading girl with a pearl earring and personally it wasn’t exactly what i thought it would be.The painting seem more interesting than the book. Griet shows expression and feeling in the painting but during the book/film she shows very little emotion. I percieved her to be hiding parts of her and that the Vermeer family is good her a sign of the pearl earring but i haven’t read that much of the book i shall wait and see. Her family is very important to her and for this she leaves to become a maid for the Vermeer family earning the family money as her father is unable to.
I find it strange that the Vermeer children have to eat with the maids rather than their very own parents. I wouldn’t like it and feel apart from my parents. Also I know Vermeer is a pianter but having lots of paintings around the house would creep me out.
thats my thoughts so far.
