Skit

1.The first part of the book I would like to see preformed is when Pip meets Mrs. Havisham. Pip walks into the room full of clock with her sitting there alone in her old wedding dress. It would be good to see because its a little comical, and Mrs. Havisham seems overly dramatic.

2.The second part I would like to see is when Mrs. Havishams hair catches on fire and Pip tried to save her. This would be funny to see in class, watching someone freak out while on fire.

3. And the last one is dinner at Jaggers house with All of Pips friends, (Drummie, Herbert, Startop, etc...) This would be good to see because each acter would have to act out their version of big characters. Also it can include a lot of people in one skit.

“Pip, dear old chap, life is made of ever so many partings welded together, as I may say, and one man’s a blacksmith, and one’s a whitesmith, and one’s a goldsmith, and one’s a coppersmith. Diwisions among such must come, and must be met as they come.”(223) Joe says this to Pip after their uncomfortable meeting in London at the end of Chapter 27. I don't quite understand what this was meant to mean. Also, mentioning blacksmith's, whitesmith's, goldsmith's, and coppersmith's didn't quite make sence to me. I was wondering if it was saying how he didn't mean for their meeting in London to be akward, and then add a goodbye. So my question is, what does Joe mean by say this to Pip?

Great Expectations: The First Stage

When Pip says, "the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns and flowers, that would never have bound you" (70), he is talking about a certain day in his life that changed who he was as a human. This day was when Pip first went to Mrs. Havisham's. Pip never really went out from the house until he met Mrs. Havisham and Estella. Pip never really met with the upper class, and it was a first for him. This day was when Pips "chain" that bound him because in that day he realized he wanted to become a gentlemen rather than just a blacksmith.

I would have to say, the one day that changed me was when I was really little. I cant quite remember what age i was, but probably aboub 3-ish. The day was when I first got to sew with my grandma. She let me sit of her lap, and taught me all the basics to sewing. From then on, I always wanted to go to my grand,as house just to sew with her 24/7. Now that I am older, and i'm high school, I am taking textile design for one of my electives. Now, I am a very artistic person, ho is really into fashion and design. And i believe i owe that to my grandma, teaching me everything I know now.

Essay info

Hey guys. Remember I'm writing about humorous lies for my paragraph. My first topic is about how Algernon says girls never flirt with the men they marry. Even though, he did flirt with his wife now, which consists of a lie. My second, is about when Jacks brother comes for a visit, right after he was explaining how his brother died from a severe chill. Then my last one is about Lady Bracknell, and her saying how she doesn't "deceive" her husband, when she really does.

I need some help on transitioning from each topic to the other!

Victorian Era

My new understanding of the Victorian era has really enhanced my thoughts about the novel. For example, one thing i learned was how women were treated. In The Importance of Being Ernest, the women are respected properly, but still there rights and education was lacking. They often married for movement in the social classes, or just for money too. For example, Gwendolen makes a comment to Jack about how she would be able to marry him even though she might marry often it wouldn't change her love for him. This is a perfect example of this situation of not marrying for love, but for money. Also, there are many stereotypes about women in this play. Miss Prism shows the woman who is determined to do the right thing for everyone, kind of like the mom of everyone. Cecily is shown as the girl who can fall in love to hard to fast, and is a bit less intelligent compared to Gwen. Shes the naive, care free girl who does what she wants to. Then Lady Bracknell is the typical snobby girl that gets in every ones business. She gossips a lot, and is rude.

Another thing I learned was about the social classes. During this era, the lower class was very poor compared to the upper class who often looked down on them. Between the classes, there was a huge difference in the way of life and living. From poverty to wealth. Gwendolen makes a comment in Act II to Cecily talking about how she didn't have to shovel because she was in the higher class. She said, she was glad she didn't know what one was. When Cecily on the other hand did and had to do dirty work. This indicates the disrespect and looking down upon to the lower class.
