English: Summer on Egdon Heath The tract of heath ...This book is about the return of Clym Yeobright to his native land Egdon Heath. He comes back after living in Paris as an apprentice. The story is about a return of a native.
4. My first impression of Clym Yeobright was that he was a very nice young man who is very intellectual, and successful in business. I also got the impression that he might have some strange ideas. Eustacia overhears a conversation between her father and some other men when we hear them speaking of Clym. One man says, "Tis a blazing great business that he belongs to, so I've heard his mother say- like a king's palace, as far as dements go."ÃÂ This gave me the impression that he was successful in his business. Another man says "Clym Yeobright is become a real perusing man, with the strangest notions about things."ÃÂ This gave me the impression that he had some strange ideas. The last thing that gave me an impression about Clym was when one man says, "The say he can speak French as fast as a maid can eat blackberries."ÃÂ This gave the impression that he was educated.
5. A change that occurred in a character occurred in Eustacia. She changed from liking Wildeve to being infatuated with Clym. In the beginning of the novel, when we first meet Eustacia she like Wildeve. As the story progresses she likes Clym.
