Great Expectations.

"Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day."

In this passage Pip was referring to the first day he went to Miss Havisham's house and found out about her life. It was a very memorable day in his life because he experienced many new things after meeting Miss Havisham. Looking back, Pip can see that this day stands clear in his memory as one that changed his life.
The day my brother left for college, I didn't really think it would change my life that much. I mean, I was about to start seventh grade and his life wasn't my top priority. Looking back, I realize how much I relied him. And he's no longer down the hall every time I need him. Looking back, I can see that day as the day that our roads diverged as he left for college.


My blog was being crazy and wouldn't let me post!!

Group Earnest Essay!!

So,
I'm doing the paragraph on dairies for our essay (topic #6). My first concrete detail is when Cecily says that dairies are a sensational read on the train. Second is when Cecily is talking about how she write everything down in her diary or else she would forget it. My final detail is when the two girls are comparing diaries while they are trying to figure out who the real Ernest is. Basically, I want to relate all these points back to the three-volume novel and show how they are pretty much the same. For my transition sentence, I'll say that diaries relate to three-volume novels as do the sermons...

Sound good?
