On the first day of school when I stepped into the room labled as 501 Mrs. Gilman I was quite nervous. The thing is english class had never really been my cup of tea. There are bits and pieces of it however I enjoy and hoped we would cover in the time to come. The things that I have really enjoyed so far is DGP, poetry, and reading the books I thought were good. DGP I like because it helps me in my writing. I like poetry because I like to talk. A lot. As for reading books this year I've probably liked about 70 percent of the novels we've read. The part that just grinds my gears about reading books is annotating. However sometimes it does help me understand the book. Overall, I feel I've come along way in english and it's going a lot and I mean a lot better than i thought it would.

Skits

Throughout the book there are many great parts that could be acted out ;however , the three that I'm about to discuss would definitely be the best to act out. First, Mr Jaggers case with Molly. this would be a good one cause it's easy to add roles if needed and it was a easy part to understand. Second, is when Orlick tries to murder Pip. This is a good part because there's a lot of suspense in this part and would be fun to act out. Last, Mrs. Joe's funeral. This would be a good part to act out because a lot of the characters are in this part. Also it is interesting when Pip talks to Biddy and Joe. Overall there are many great parts in this book that could be acted out, but these stood out to me the most.

Question

Overall in this book I have had many questions that have been answered. One though that I don't fully understand is how come Pip so ashamed that its the convict that's his benefactor in ch.39 pg. 318. I get that most of it is guilt and he wanted it to be Mrs. Havisham so he could marry Estalla, but still I expected him to be a little more grateful. Either I don't get this part or I'm looking for more than whats there. Message me an answer please.

Quote

A question I have can be found on page 232 when Pip says, ".......I was a hero. Estalla was the inspiration of it, and the heart of it, of course." The question I have from this quote is why is Pip so confident and sure that now he's a gentleman thatt he will be able to sweep Estalla off her feet?

This picture shows someone leaving to go somewhere and doesn't really know what will happen next. This relates to Pip because Pip has these dreams he wants to do. One for instance is to become a gentleman. When the opportunity finally slaps him in the face he agrees that's what he wants. The funny thing is he has no idea what will be on the road ahead. That's how Pip relates to this picture because nether Pip nor the stick figure really know what lies on the road ahead.

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.
