Great Expecations the first stage

This quote shows Pip thinking of a certain day that changed his life. When he says "the long chain of iron or gold" he is saying that ether this day was ether good or bad. Also when he refers to the "flowers" part of the quote he is using this as a symbol to all the good things that happened. When he refers to the "thorn" its about all the things that could go wrong. This altered him becasue hes starting to grow up and realize that bad things can happen to you even if it's unfair. This has developed him because we are probably realy gonna see how Pip has matured and how he deals with easy and tough situations.

Alot of days have changed my life, but one definatly stands above the rest. It was a tuesday afternoon. I had a basketball game that i had been looking foward to for a week. It was agianst our rivals Evergreen. The game started as usaul and i was playing good, having fun, and going all out. As I do in every physical activity. All was going well until I went up fora shot and got fouled hard. I made the shot but i landed right on my right arm. I felt it jam but that was it. As i was getting up my arm started to hurt a little more. When i looked down my stomach dropped. My arm was twisted and morffed into a very weird looking position. To cut the story short I got taken to the hospital and got my arm fixed. This changed my life forever in a weird way though because i realized how easy it is to get hurt. I used to be way more wild and out of control and daring, but after this I've really learned that sometimes i need to just settle down. Overall I'm glad it happened because it's made me a smarter person.

The Importance of Being Earnest body paragraph

Hey group I hope you like what I've written so far if there are any objections to this please tell me asap. My first concrete detail is how Cecily thinks Algernon is some sort of an outlaw and how Algernon thinks Cecily is this little perfect girl. This is opposites attracting because they like each other because they think they are totally different lives than the other person and find it romantic.
For my second concrete detail I said how Cecily and Algernon liked each other before they even met. Its funny because when Algernon asks her to marry him Cecily tells him how they have been engaged for the past three months. The fact is that this is the first day they have ever met, but this is how they talk to each other Cecily says all these childish things and Algernon just goes along with it. Its a typical high social class couple they like each other over very material and fantasy things.
For my last concrete detail I said that Algernons primary interest is mostly bunburying and going on adventures while Cecilys is mostly writing about her fantasys and ideas in a diary. This is definatly an example of how opposites attract because Cecily likes to pretend when Algernon likes to act.
I no my first and last details are very similar, and I'm going to keep looking for better ones. For now this is what i got. Good Night.
