Great Expectation Question

In chapter 27, page 223, Joe is vistiting Pip and telling him what he has been doing in the time where Pip has been gone. Joe is telling Pip that Miss Havisham called him to go see her. As Joe is saying, "Next day, sir, ... having cleaned myself, I go and I see Miss A." Throughout the book we have only read that Miss Havisham is Miss Havisham not Miss A. or any other name. My question is, why does Joe refer to Miss Havisham as Miss A. when he is talking to Pip?

Pip has a lot of relationships with people. But only a few are really good and close relationships. Like that of him and Joe, they were more like best friends then family. When Pip moves to London he meets new people and gets along, but him and Mr. Wemmick have developed the strongest relationship in the beginning of the second stage. Pip and Mr. Jaggers relationship is mostly that of business and work matter. Even though Pip has many close connections so far in the book and most likely throughout the book, no relationship can beat that of Pip's and Joe's very close bond.

Great Expectations

Pip is refering to many things like his lying to Mrs. Joe and to Mr. Pumblechook and also about when he helped the convict and he can't tell anyone. Pip will always remember this day throughout his lifetime. Even though the convict went back to the Hulks, Pip still helped him out of his leg iron and also fed him. Pip dispises this day because it is the day he stole from his own pantry and had to tell lies about a robber who may have taken the food. Everyone soon believed Pip but he couldn't handle the "chains" on him. His chains are about the lies he has told to get him out of trouble.



Throughout my elementary years, my sister was in the young and annoying age and she still is now. But through those years my sister would make me so agrivated that I would yell at her and give her a little light slap so I wouldn't get in trouble. She would always take it to far and say that I actually slapped her really hard. She would start crying and my parents would come upstairs to see what's wrong. They would see my sister crying and turn to me and say what did you do. I said I didn't do anything because I really didn't. Then they would ask my sister what happened and she would say she slapped me and it hurt. So I would get in trouble and I would deny that I slapped her hard because I didn't and I would get in trouble. My sister never got in trouble when she is annoying I would tell her to stop then go to my mom and ask if she can make her go in the other room. Then I would get in trouble for yelling at my sister. The younger sibling almost bever gets in trouble, it's always the older one.

Group Essay

I'm going to write about Cecily lying about her age when she goes to parties, and when Jack lies to Algernon about Cecily being his aunt. Those are low levels of dishonesty and I'm trying to find another small one to use.

Victorian Research

My research of the Victorian Age helped my understanding of the gender roles in the book, The Importance of Being Ernest. The roles are suggestive toward women meaning that they are supposed to be properly feminine. In the Victorian Age women were supposed to teach the children how to play their role in life, and they had to educate them. Women were supposed to be silent in public and obiedient to their husband. And above all they had to have alot of manners and be proper, even if fighting. Men, however, were the strong, brave people that protected their families. Marriage back then was thought of unimportant. Algernon says that marriages are made in heaven.

Miss Prism, although not the actual mother of Cecily, taught Cecily Germen, and how to be properly feminine, and to always be polite. Men, for women's daughters, they wanted them to be born from a wealthy family and to not be "bad". Lady Bracknell questions Jack about where he came from. where he was born. and who were his parents. Since he was not born into a wealthy family, Lady Bracknell found him unsuitable for her daugther. She wants her daughter to be wed into a wealthy family. Miss Prism does not want Cecily to marry Algernon because she has the impression that he is a bad person and is not good enough for Cecily.

Animal Farm Project Paper

We did the theme, Revisions of the Past. For this we decided to do the seven commandments and how the pigs changed them all to benefit themselves. We used Megan’s animals for the actual ones and for some of the revised ones. The past is the original commandments, when they were first thought of. We used Megan’s animals to show what each commandment was about. Then we looked through the book to find how the pigs changed the commandments to make sure that they were the higher animals of the farm. I video taped the clips and also edited them, and I spent like two hours everyday working on it. I spent about 6 hours on it all together maybe more. Then we spent about 4 hours on the Saturday after we got the assignment to shoot the clips of the commandments. We had a general idea of what we were doing, and then we changed our minds sometimes on where we would do the scene and how we would do it like with the animals. We got most of the filming, just about all of it, the I added a few clips to where I thought we needed it. I thought it turned out pretty well, on our computer it didn’t look that good, but on the sheet screen it looked pretty good and the music went well even though I had no idea what it was. We all contributed to the video equally. If we can make another short movie, I think I would do it because we had fun shooting the video for it.
