FATE

My sign is an Aquarius, one meaning shy, gentle, and sensitive. The other is they tend to be active and keep things to themselves. We love to cheer people up!

I am more shy, gentle, and sensitive because when i first meet people its always a little slow. I love talking to people but its always at first it feels weird. I am always active towards people and in sports. People say that i am always smiling and keep a positive attitude. I love to make people smile and laugh. I enjoy to be around people.

Romeo and Juliet were meant to be together. When they first locked eyes they both knew that they were each others true loves. Even though their parents don't approve of their love they keep it strong from how they feel! Fate brought them together.

Cultural Shock

The book Romeo and Juliet reminds me of the Notebook and the Titanic in a way. In both of these movies the girl is a higher class than the boy which isn't aloud. The parents don't allow them to see each other but there love can not separate them. These stories also take place in a older time than today. In the Titanic he dies in the end while letting her live. Romeo and Juliet could never be separated either, dead or alive.

Skits

When Pip goes to Mrs. Havisham's house. Talk about how when he walks into her weird house and meets her. I think that this would be funny and a good important scene to act out especially with good acting!

When Estella told Pip that she was not meant for him and she was going to marry Drummle. This takes place at Mrs. Havisham's house. This is one of the really important scenes where Pip finds out that the girl he really liked doesn't feel the same way. This would be a good dramatic skit to act out.

When Mrs. Havisham catches on fire and starts to yell in a dramatic funny way. I think that this would be a very funny scene to act out especially if someone is very dramatic and serious about the part!

Question #2

In chapter 40 on page 332 they are talking about a guy named Mr. Provis. They say "I resolved to call him by that name, who reserved his consent to Herbert's participation until he should have seen him and formed a favourable judgment of his physiognomy." My question is who is Mr. Provis?

Question

One thing that i don't understand in this book is how Pip and Estella are not really together. He has always talked about how beautiful she is and perfect, but then they don't get together. Why is this? It seems like she isn't into him as much as he is too her which may be a problem for them.Things like this happen in everyday life, but why not have it happen in the book?

Photo for Great Expectations

I chose the image of a lion cub and its parent because Pip first started out as a little boy and wasn't sure how he was going to grow up. But then a grew into something bigger that decided what he wanted to do, which was be a gentleman. A lion cub starts out weak and doesn't know how to catch its prey or defend for itself at first but then when it grows into something more strong and fierce other animals become afraid. Pip is just like a fierce lion looking for something to catch in his grasp.

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.
