    I Am Always Watching Chapter 2 Summary

    Chapter 2 begins with Tom and Nick taking a trip on the commuter train that runs between West Egg and New York which passes through the “valley of ashes”, an industrial zone. While passing through, Nick notices a billboard of the eyes of Dr. T. J. Eckleburg, which he describes as a figure who watches over the actions of everyone in the city. Suddenly, Tom forces Nick to get out at one of the stops in the valley and lead him to George Wilson’s garage, which sits on the edge of the valley of ashes. It is there that Tom meets Tom’s secret lover, George’s wife, Myrtle Wilson, a short robust redhead with a fiery attitude.

    Tuck Palmer Intro Book Summary

    I already have mixed feelings about this book. Although I have found a lot of truth in the introduction, on the second page Palmer states “If you are a teacher who never has bad days, or who has them but does not care, this book is not for you. This book is for teachers who have good days and bad, and whose bad days bring the suffering that comes only from something one loves. It is for teachers who refuse to harden their hearts because they love learners, learning and the teaching life.” I disagree with the point that Palmer is making. The Lord says we should never dwell on anything; You should not bring suffering into the classroom. I do not think that teachers who “never have bad days” are people…

Their warren finally had both bucks and does and they were all living comfortably together. They were even expecting a litter or two soon. They couldn't have asked for anything more. "The Story of Rowsby Woof and the Fairy Wogdog" was about how El-ahrairah was able to trick Rowsby Woof, the dog, to leave his master's house so that El-ahrairah could sneak into his home to eat the lettuces his master had brought inside to thaw out. This story was told to the rabbits just in time because General Woundwort and some of his Owsla rabbits had come for revenge.

General Woundwort was not happy at all; he wanted to have all the does returned, along with Big Wig who tricked them, and Blackavar who escaped with the does.

    A Worn Path....Setting

    The actions in the story are affected by the setting of the woods and the obstacles placed in her way along her journey. While on her journey to the town the elderly woman encounters a huge log “and shuts her eyes” while she crosses over the log-bridged gap. The author allows the audience to picture the elderly lady in the middle of the log to better portray the difficulties and hardships she must face as she continues on. She also encounters a large black dog that suddenly surprises her “and over she went in the ditch.” The dog creates another obstacle which leads to a helping hand of a passerby thus affecting the setting. These actions show how she is in conflict with herself becoming too old to make the travel to the town without some difficulties along the way. She shows her determination to finish what she started as she continues on through all of the other obstacles and finally ends up at the town. As the lady walk through the woods there are many details of the setting that affect the outcome of the atmosphere of the story.…

    While Eleanor and Theo hears a sound of a child crying outside of their rooms, the two was in their room, setting up their beds. For the obvious reason, as Eleanor fears the nuisance noise, she grabs a hand to only realize and say: “Good God –whose hand was I holding?” (102), that she is starting to have a connection with the Hill House itself. Another really proof to this is the writings on the wall. As the group passes by the long hallway, a massive writing that shouts “HELP ELEANOR COME HOME” (91) suggests to the readers, that out of all people, Eleanor attracts the attention, more than anyone else. Through this, Eleanor feels a sense of connection and gives a “signal” to her that she is part of Hill House. However, Dr. Montague thinks that this is getting out of hand. As Eleanor connects with the house, she is also being link to the supernatural living in it, which is to every paranormal expert is a “no-no” for it can attract spirits to use you since they can lay hands on you for having that connection. For this reason, Dr. Montague tells Eleanor to pack her bags and leave as soon as she can, after breakfast, but Eleanor insist that “I want to stay here” (150). Eleanor keep her reasoning that she needed to stay that she wasn’t afraid after all (151) and that she is “fine now… and happy” (151) to stay at…
