This blog is in response to prompt three.
Although Gilda seems to need Julius as we discussed in class, there are many reasons as to why turning him was selfish. Julius could have lived a life that was better for him as a human, and could have found someone else to fill the void that Gilda seemed to fill for him, instead of having her turn him. In class, almost everyone agreed that being human was better than being a vampire; this should prove that turning him was a bad idea, and that it was selfish.
During the chapter, it was interesting to read their interactions, because most of the time, Gilda was not very nice to him, and seemed to be almost pushing him away. Maybe she became jaded from her many years losing people and having to let people go, but still, if that was the case, what justification was there that she could turn him. Plus, she didn't actually talk to him explicitly about the vampire world before turning him, she just started talking in his head, and then started. Gilda did give Julius a chance to pull back, but when he didn't, she made that the justification to turn him all the way.
