Skit Ideas

Well, personally my three favorite parts of the novel were
1.) Where Pip is just meeting Havisham, and she describes that her heart was broken, and makes everything so much more dramatic than it needs to be. I like this part because for one, it made me laugh. And because it seems like it can be easily acted out.
2.) When Joe comes to visit Pip in London. Where he's trying hisbest to be formal but at the same time is extremely awkward. This was a huge turning point in the book because Pip use to treat Joe so well, and now he's like a bug who won't leave him alone.
3.) The part where Abel appears on Pip's doorstep in the middle of the evening, and finally confesses that he is Pip's benefactor. Its a shocking twist to the book, and turns everything around. It makes Pip realize that his generosity can go through somebody so deeply that they'll be willing to supply you with money. He also discovers just how dangerous being caught up with a criminal can be.

Heey! Alrite, so this message is of course for my group members.
Im still a little shaky on what to put into my paragraph. But I do know that my three topics are How Cecily lies about her age (saying she's 20 sometimes, but is really 18,) The cucumber sandwitches, and how Jack lied to Algernon in the beginning of the book saying that Cecily was his aunt

And then I was supposed to transition that from the humorous lies correct? Ok well get back to me sooon

Victorian Knowlege

Everybody knows basically what the Victorian Era is. Fancy furniture, arranged marriages, poofy dresses, and men being alot more open then they are nowadays. I thought that would be enough to understand The Importance of Being Earnest. So I was resenting research on the era at first, but after I started to read, I realized there was actually quite a bit I didn't understand. Like how big standards were, and how much control you didn't have over your own life.

When I was reading the story, and Jack wishes to marry Gwendolen, I was just thinking 'Aww, that's one of the sweetest (and sappiest) proposal ever. But then Gwendolen's mother had to come in and ruin everything. Just because of his history and status, her mom barely believed that he was a suitable husband. I understood why she acted like that though, instead of thinking she was just a snob. Even though she was.

But thanks to the research, the story makes more sense. And surely it will come into use later on in the story.

100 Things to Do Before I Graduate

New year resolutions. Yeah, haven't heard that one before (note sarcasm) I've set one on-going resolution for myself every year which is Get an A in Every Class. That, hasn't happened yet. It's hard! I try, but it doesn't always happen. So one day I decided, I was going to set a bunch of little goals to do wile I'm tryin to achieve that. Something to do when I don't have homework, or studying, or when it's vacation. But instead of a few, I decided I'm going to come up with 100 things to do before I graduate.

Yeah, that's alot huh? Haha, well the thing is, some of them are easy goals, and some of them are a little harder. Part of my inspiration to do this was from a story I was reading online. I thought it was hilarious, and decided to start one of my own. Some examples would be Pass math every year, Watch a slasher movie, Find a penny from the 1970's, Have a picnic in the snow, Watch the sunset on a leap year, Do running start, Scream bloody murder in drama, Get a pair of yellow converse, or Tape somebody to a chair.

Those are just a few of my goals. But see what I mean when I say that some are easy and some are hard? But I want to come upon these things. I don't want to focus all of my energy on completing these activities. I don't know, it's really hard to describe. But if I just randomly do one of these, then I can check them off my list.... Does that make sense?

As for my first and primary goal? I'm still working on it.
