    Personal Response A man had been standing at the blank intersection for a while now wearing a brown worn-out shirt and baggy pants‚ not quite appealing to anyone but yet caught the attention of many. He was not moving‚ not even an inch‚ like something had grabbed on to him purposely making him immobile and blankly staring across the distance.

    British Literature Hinkley 8 Dec. 2012 Personal Response Jane Austen’s novel‚ Pride and Prejudice‚ is a great representation of how life in the 1800s would have been. Placement in society played a major role and most of her characters only did what society permitted them to do. The people who you were surrounded around either broke you or made you an influence on the town. The women seemed to look only for someone to marry them‚ not for someone to love them. The women in this novel‚ searched

    Touching Bottom” Reading Response I definitely think the subject of the story is about the fear of the unknown. When you swim in a pool you can see the bottom and everything else that is in the pool. But why are so many people afraid of swimming in open water? Humans fear what they do not understand and cannot see. In a lake or an ocean you do not know what is out there and you start to go crazy fearing the unknown. The main character in the story was terrified of open water. She did not know
