    Annie, over six feet tall, big-boned, decided that she would not go to work as a domestic and leave her “precious babes” to anyone else’s care. There was no possibility of being hired at the town’s cotton gin or lumber mill, but maybe there was a way to make the two factories work for her.

    The Glass Castle Book Report

    stories that made her childhood unique. This book is a memoir of the interesting and talented Jeannette Walls. The second chapter of the book begins with her, as a three year old, burning herself severely when making hotdogs for herself. I think that chapter just sets the tone of the story. Her crazy life was not so perfect even when she forced herself to believe it could be worse. How can it be worse when you have no money, a worn down home, and nothing to eat? Her family was constantly struggling with money and her father was an alcoholic. Jeannette’s mom was capable of working, but was just lazy. She and her siblings had to really survive on their own.…

    Miss Havisham In Charles Dickens Great Expectations

    Pip continues to remember his visit and later goes on to detail an even scarier description: a “faded spectre in the chair by the dressing-table glass….” Pip is comparing Miss Havisham to a ghost, seemingly unreal and unrelatable to a mortal human. He has a lack of connection to Miss Havisham, seeing her as something static and unchanging, like an old house or a room, in contrast to how he views himself, dynamic and changing. Next, Pip discusses how he feels the “stopping of the clocks had stopped Time in that mysterious place….” Again, everything around Pip is changing: he’s apprenticed to Joe, it’s his birthday, and Biddy moved in with his family, but Miss Havisham and her property remain the same. Estella’s feelings towards Pip hasn’t changed either, as she is still as cold and distant as she was the first time she met Pip. The strangeness of Miss Havisham and her manor astonishes Pip, and, despite him being dreadfully afraid of them, he still feels himself looking closer and becoming more and more fascinated and obsessed with them. This attraction towards Miss Havisham surfaces later in the novel, when Pip becomes convinced that Miss Havisham has a plan for him and Estella together despite having no evidence of…

    Mary Poppins Speech

    Mary Poppins Speech

    This year has marked the fiftieth anniversary of many historical events, including the Rolling Stones first headlining tour, President Lyndon B. Johnson’s declaration of the “War on Poverty,” plans for the World Trade Center were announced, and Mary Poppins debuted on the big screen. However, the story of Mary Poppins, the nanny who flew in with the wind and who advised the Banks’ children that a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down, began long before Julie Andrews appeared on the silver screen in 1964. It began deep in the mind of young Helen Goff, a brave thirteen year old who was left at home with her two younger sisters. Her father, a severe alcoholic, was dead and her grieving mother had gone in the dead of night to attempt to drown herself in a nearby creek. Helen wrapped herself and her sisters in a blanket by the fire, and began to tell the girls a fairytale about a magical white horse who could fly, despite his lack of wings. This was the first time that she had dreamt up a story, and twenty-six years later, she would produce a children’s novel about a character who, much like the white horse, could fly. It would later become a best-selling book and a 1964 acclaimed movie of the same name - Mary Poppins.…
