Okay, the first scene that i might like to do next week, is was in the very beginning of the book, when the convict and Pip first meet. It would show good initial characterization of both, and would represent the beginning. The next scene I would like to act out would have to be when Miss H. catches on fire, and Pip has to put her out with his coat, merely because it would be entertaining! The only other part of the book i would like to see acted out, is when Pip fights the "pale young gentleman. It would be a good action scene!

Another question

Okay, so i have been trying to figure out what is going to happen with Pip and Estella. "The nature of my relations with her (Estella), which placed me on terms of familiarity without placing me on terms of favor, conduced to my distraction." (325) I know that estella really doesnt want to be with Pip, but is forced by Miss. H., but Pip loves her (*cough* idiot! *cough*) Anyways, i just can't tell how it is going to play out, will Estella break Pip's heart? Or will she do the right thing, and let him down gently? These are all unanswerable questions, I know, but i can't help but ask them.

Que? (what?)

"There's power here," said Mr. Jaggers, coolly tracing out the sinews with his forefinger. "Very few men have the power of wrist that this woman has. It's remarkable what mere force of grip there is in these hands. I have had occasion to notice many hands; but I never saw stronger in that respect, man's of woman's than these." (214) Alright guys and gals. I really need your help on this one. I mean, this is totally out of the blue, but must have SOME significance in the coming future! I also don't understand whether her wrists are just strong, or if she has cut them, or if it was a birth defect, or what! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks guys!

This photo of a lonely boy, reminds me of how Pip must have felt, when he discovered that estella was gone from Miss. Havisham's house. He felt more alone, plain, and unwanted than ever! Also, this symbolizes how Pip is alone in his struggle to be a gentleman, and the tolls that it may take on his life and character.

OK, so I am doing my paragraph on the stereotypes/satire on men in the book and Victorian era. My first concrete detail is when lady Bracknell is talking about what occupations men should have and smoking. my commentary about this is about her thinking that men need "something" to do in their lives. and seeing as the upper class men will never work a day in their lives. smoking is a good occupation. my second concrete detail happens to be Algernon talking about how awfully hard it is to do nothing. My 2 commentaries about this are that men in the upper class of the Victorian era, really never did anything, and also that they could have gotten a job, but they chose to do nothing anyways. My third concrete detail is when lady Bracknell is talking about her husbands occupation. Which (big surprise) is staying at home doing nothing) Lady bracknell is controlling and wont let her husband do anything. also, lord bracknell doesn't care. he's rich, comfortable, and lazy. Why should he do anything?

Poetry out loud

The poem, that I picked to evaluate was Siren Song. The performer, Teal Van Dyck, Performs this poem, in my opinion, marvelously. Her articulation and voice, particularly stood out to me. I could tell that she thoroughly understood this poem through her voice, and her dramatization (although at times a bit overbearing) really helped me to understand this poem very easily.


The meaning and reason for this poem, is to show the mythical monsters "The Sirens" in a different, but at the same time, same old light. In this poem, the narrator is one of the sirens, seemingly just wanting off the island, and waiting for a brave and chivalrous sailor to come by and save her. But, towards the end of the poem, there is a shift, that shows the sirens so called "distress call" is really just another way to lure sailors into the sharp rocks of the sirens isle.
