Great Expectations: Quote

In the quote, Pip is thinking about a certain day that he remembers. He remembers that day because there were many events that took place. I think that the quote when it says "the long chain of iron or gold" its meaning that things can go on for a while even if its good or bad. When it says "thorns" it means the bad events that may come your way; when "flowers" means happy events that could come your way. Pip also discovers something on this day, that he wants to become something more than a blacksmith.

The event that began the chain of my life would have to be when i first moved to Centennial Elementary School. I got to pick my teacher and i picked her because she was pretty! It was the beginning of 3rd grade and this school was all new to me. But i met some of my really close friends at that school which I'm still close friends with all of them. All of my friends from that school all were on a soccer team and i decided that i would join that team to make some new friends and try a new sport. I joined the soccer team and had a BLAST! Ever since that day i have been the person that i am today, a girl with a best friend named Katherine Frank and a passion for soccer.

Group Essay: Nikki H, Madison, and I

The topic of my paragraph is about marriage and how it has changed from the Victorian Era all the way till now. Such as the expectations, judgments, and how married couples treated each other when they were married. The first topic that I will be talking about is when Algernon tells Jack marriage is a business instead of pleasure. Next, I will be talking about when Lady Bracknell says "An engagement should come on a young girl as a surprise, pleasant, or unpleasant. Lastly, I will be talking about when Algernon says "Divorces are made in heaven."

All of those different quotes have to do with different opinions on marriage and how much differently people expected marriage to be. Like for example marriage is more of a pleasure than a business if you think about how people would look at it. They had different things that were expected of them and were needed from them in order to have a marriage happen.
