At first I thought that I would not be able to get through the passage because it seemed very dry and difficult but after the first page I found myself intrigued and wanting to know what the point was. I really enjoyed reading it but felt that I might have missed some greater meaning because at the end I did not feel that anything was revealed. The reader still did not know anything about Bartleby. I asked myself if Bartleby stood for something else and was not just a character. I hope we talk about this more in class because I feel as if I missed the bigger picture.
Also I felt that there was something wrong with the owner because he is drawn to this man that there is definitely something wrong with. Bartleby sort of scared me. I always thought that he was going to do something but he just always preferred not to. At first I thought that the reason he did not want to read was because he could not and I wondered why the owner did not ask he if he knew how to read. I felt that the owner was a little weird too because he could have employed other workers but instead complained about them instead. I felt that he got attached to people and could not let go.
