First Thoughts on Jonathan Strange

So, as I procrastinate till the last minute I have just recently started to delve into the Jonathan Strange novel. One of the things that I immediately saw in the characters such as Mr. Drawlight was how their opinions seemed to change to fit what other people believed and how he laughably exaggerates his own importance to others. I think that this is extremely relatable in our society since people are at times afraid to voice his or her true opinions in fear of how others will perceive them. This notion even seemed to show up in our classroom whenever we started to talk about religion since no one really knew what each other's standpoints on the topic were and no one wanted to offend any one else.
