...Great Expectations by Charles Dickens In this essay I will be discussing Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. In this noel I will be looking at how dickens uses the weather and the setting to create suspense and tension. Dickens also used the main characters Pip and the convict to create suspense and tension by showing Pip as an orphan and the convict as a monster. This noel is about a little boy called Pip which thinks that money buys everything but by the help of the convict later on in his life he is going to find out that money doesn’t buy happiness. The most important thing in life is happiness and Pip finds that out as he falls in love with Estella and regrets his decision of choosing money over his friends and family. In this noel I look at how dickens uses his language to create a picture in the reader’s mind. Charles Dickens was born in 1812. His father worked for the Navy Pay office. Dickens had many chances to see Themes as he went with his father on boats and ashore. He attended a small school as his father couldn't earn much and back then people had to pay for schools to get educated and poor people couldn't afford to get educated. At the age of eleven Dickens and his family moved to London. Life was really hard in the central as his father didn't earn much Charles had to leave school.

...Fire Scientists in west florida university performed an experiment to see the effect of fire on a human corpse. Once on fire the outer skin goes first, crisping and crackling before it burns away pretty quickly. The dermal layers of the skin vanish too after about 5 minutes. By then the fire has burned away your shell and starts on the fat layer. Fat is an effective fuel as flammable material acts like a candle wick. The fat melts away, absorbs into the wick and then burns for hours. Flames also dry out muscles, contracting them and making the body move. The fire will burn itself out only when the bones remain, unless they break to expose the marrow. Teeth don’t burn either. Cold Normal body temperature is just over 37 degrees celcius. At 36c your reaction times and judgement become impaired. At 35c walking may be difficult and you will struggle to write your own name, and hypothermia sets in. At 33C you may become irrational, stripping off your clothing. At 32c most people will collapse. When the bodys temperature drops to about 30 degrees celcius, all bodily functions slow down and the person will likely lose consciousness.. Fatigue, clumsiness and a delay in reacting to outside stimuli are among the first symptoms.Cardiac arrhythmia sets in,. The heart will also gradually slow, along with lung function, until the rest of the body starves of oxygen. In addition, the renal system quickly fails, flooding the body with diluted versions of urine. This substance leaks into...

...lifestyle. The online dictionary describes addiction as the : “ compulsive need for and use of a habitforming substance (as heroin, nicotine, or alcohol) characterized by tolerance and by welldefined physiological symptoms upon withdrawal; broadly persistent compulsive use of a substance known by the : user to be harmful” However in some cases there have been texts that break this mold and show addiction to centre around not a single activity but a way of being. Some characters are defined by their addictions because the object of their addiction is none other than themselves and their lives. Both the characters of Krapp Krapp’s Last Tape in by Samuel Beckett and Dorian Grey A Picture of Dorian Grey in can be defined as being addicted to their lives and their ways of life.The ego was one of the topics described by Freud as a part of three the Id, the Ego and the Superego. According to Freud’s studies: "Id is the dark, inaccessible part of our personality... It is filled with energy reaching it from the instincts, but it has no organisation, produces no collective will, but only a striving to bring about the satisfaction of the instinctual needs subject to the observance of the pleasure principle" "The ego is that part of the id which has been modified by the direct influence of the external world ... The ego represents what may be called reason and common sense, in contrast to the id, which contains the passions ...

...The Leadbeater's possum and reasons for endangerment. Its common name is Leadbeater’s Possum, and its scientific name is Gymnobelideus leadbeateri Well the leadbeater’s possum is a small, speedy, nocturnal possum that is distinguishable by being smaller than the palm of your hand and having a club-shaped tail, which helps the possum carry bark to make is nest for itself and its family. Although they may have the same appearance as a sugar glider, they however are not related. The leadbeater’s possum is the only one of its genus, which makes it so unique. Its fur coat is off-white on the belly and chest area and has a grey back with a dark strip running down the centre of its back to its tail. They are mainly found in the South eastern parts of Australia (Central Highlands of Victoria) in Temperate forests and woodlands. The Leadbeater’s possum was first discovered in 1867, along the Bass river in south Gippsland, and was originally given the name of the Bass River possum. The possum was then later on named by Professor McCoy, after John Leadbeater, who was a taxidermist for the Nation Museum of Victoria, and was the first to preserve leadbeater’s possum specimens. In 1909 it was believed that the Leadbeater’s possum had become extinct after no longer being able to be spot in the environment. However, in 1961, Eric Wilkinson rediscovered the Leadbeater’s possum near Marysville, after 52 years of being thought to be extinct. In 1971, 10 years after it was rediscovered...

...which leaves you behind with the sensation of unknowing. I believe the text has a very deep meaning to it, which I will try to find. In the short story we meet a man called Bill. We can see from the text, that Bill is old "A collection of regulars cluttered the bar, all grey haired men similar age to him". Bill has a wife, who he does not see very often, as she has "flown off" by herself, as their children were grown. In the village, where the story unfolds it is common to give your wife a feather coat from feather girls, but Bill has fallen in love with a feather girl. The feather girl's name is unknown, but Bill and her have been seeing each other for a long time "All these years of going to meet her and yet still, every time, he felt like a lad. They have been doing the same thing over and over again, meeting each other at a local pub called the Hare and Anchor, eating vinegar crisps with salt "packet of salt and vinegar crisps. Here at the pub we are introduced to the landlady of the pub, Mary. Mary is the most interesting character in my opinion, because her curiosity about the couple is intriguing. Mary is described as stingy "Mary was stingy with the coal, still too early in the year for a fire whatever the chill in the air said". Mary is living in the past, and never throws anything away "Collections of one kind or another littered the pub, whisky boxes, empty wine bottles, framed pictures of 1930s film stars who would never have visited a place like this.

...Who’s the person you’d go to hell and back for? Who would you walk for years in a dark, cold, lifeless world, seeing burned half eaten bodies for? Death isn’t a lover, but watching the color fade and the sun vanish taking faith and humanity with it. Death is seen as living and living is seen as death. In a world where snow falls gray, the ocean isn't blue, birds don't soar, trees slowly plummet and humanity has lost all meaning, in his novel The Road, Cormac McCarthy portrays a colorless and lifeless earth while teaching a boy the purpose of life and faith. The greens have turned grey, the blues have turned black, the sun cannot be seen, warmth cannot be felt. “The clocks stopped at 1:17pm. A long shear of light and a series of low concussions.” is McCarthy’s only...

...A massive body of water that lies in located in the pacific northwest; the Puget Sound is 2,800 miles of saltwater that has been underappreciated for quite some time. A very important asset to the state of Washington, the resources we gather from this area are an essential part of our economy. Water pollution is not a new topic of discussion rather a problem that has gone on for almost the last hundred years. I am proposing a plan to help ensure that the puget sound will be preserved for future generations to come. This is for all residents and business that are directly impacted by the effects that pollution has on the Puget Sound. I want to develop a system that would help to sustain this great ecosystem for generations to come by reducing the number of toxic pollutants by twenty percent over the next five years. The most effective way to reduce pollution is to remove any toxic chemicals from the puget sound that are a part of any outdated or unnecessary landmarks throughout the state. The fox island ferry dock and terminal is no longer in use and was replaced by the fox island bridge in 1954. The old wooden dock contains 182 pilings that are treated in creosote; a toxic chemical that greatly impacts the growth of salmon and also affects their immune system. In order to preserve the puget sound these types of materials must be eliminated. Jim Braden, the president of the Fox Island Community and Recreation Association said “removing the dock eliminates a constant source of creosote and a threat to ...

...Go Back in Time with a Visit to the Historical Colonial Williamsburg. Colonial Williamsburg transports one back in time, to a time of America’s beginning in the mid 1600-1700’s. Williamsburg is reconstructed using the style and architecture of the era, even using the original tools and construction methods to build period authentic buildings complete with authentic furnishings and re-enactors dressed in period costumes. These re-enactors speak with the diction and style of that area, and the prep, time and dedication they put into their characters is clearly portrayed in their passion in recreating history. Williamsburg was first established as a fortified settlement between the James and York Rivers. It later became the capital after the state house in Virginia’s original capital of Jamestown burned down. The contractor Henry Cary took charge off the construction and built a H-shaped building. To prevent future fires it was built without fireplaces and candles, but when complaints were made about it being cold fireplaces were added and it burned down again. Williamsburg was not only the capital, but also a thriving, educational, and cultural center in the largest and most populated of the colonies from the period of 1699 to 1780. Williamsburg was the birthplace of many modern ideals that would shape our modern day government. The most important being, it was the place where the idea of the American Republic was born. A nation separate from British rule, A United...

The first half is sensory impressions and metaphors which get across how it must feel to be old, and the second half follows the title: old age ‘Gets Up’, as if it’s getting up from its chair.

It was a usual late night working at the Gazette, and as always Phillies was open all night long. I was sitting in my usual seat finishing my cup of coffee and waiting for Phil to come up with my slice of ham and cheese quiche. Phil made good coffee and decent subs, but boy, did he make the best pie. It was just me and Phil, late on a Tuesday night when this couple walked in. The fella was wearing a dark blue short Crombie-style coat, with red lining, dark blue trousers, a long collared white shirt buttoned to the top with no tie, and brogue boots, and looked like grey haired insect under the brim of his fedora. The woman on the other hand was a looker with her red hair and a matching red dress. One look and it was obvious that they weren’t from anywhere nearby. They paused at the doorway...
