wooden box. When he discovered Oliver was awake he questioned him on what he had seen, and admired him for his bravery. Jack, or Dodger, then came in with another boy from the previous evening, Charles Bates, and they showed the old Jew the things they collected from the execution they attended that morning. They then began playing a game where they would practice picking Fagin's pockets. Two girls with painted faces, Nancy and Bet came to visit the young men, and after drinking spirits, they went out with the young man. The Jew pointed out to Oliver what a nice life the young men led, and Oliver asked if they were done working for the day. Fagin said they were and told Oliver to try to lift the handkerchief from his pocket. Oliver succeeded, and began to learn how to `unmark' them Chapter 10: Oliver spent more time with the Jew, and the other boys each day learning more and more
so extraordinary... That is something you just must see! But neither the trees nor flowers could be as wonderful as the owner himself! Sir Thom treated us tea and sandwiches, not forgetting to show us way back to the village. He was so kind, don't you think? In the end, when we had nearly reached our home, he suddenly stopped and called us to a ball! Can you imagine?! A ball with Sir Thom! What an honour... I bet Emily Woodcut will be envious. What about you, Mary? Have you made plans for the summer? I'd really like to introduce you to him after all, you are the governor's daughter. Then his opinion of me will raise even higher, right? So what do you think? Would you like to pay a visit to Cherry village this summer? Can't wait to your letter! Best wishes, Anne C.

Catherine Morland My name is Catherine Morland. I would like to tell you a bit about myself. To begin with, I am seventeen years old and grew up in a countryside in a small town named Fullerton with my parents and nine siblings. As a child I was interested in many things like drawing, sports and music. I was very lively and cheerful, enjoyed cricket, horse riding and just hated cleanliness and restriction. As I grew up, I chose reading over sports and all of the wild games I used to like. Undoubtedly, I would now describe myself with the word naivety. I am very naïve and do not notice the most obvious things happening around me. I really hope that it is caused by the lack of experience and will eventually pass. In addition, I find myself a kind and caring person because I always want and agree to help people when needed. Furthermore, I really like reading. Sometimes I think that I read too much because I

The hunter smiled in a friendly way as he sauntered forward to kill me. 1. FIRST SIGHT My mother drove me to the airport with the windows rolled down. It was seventy-five degrees in Phoenix, the sky a perfect, cloudless blue. I was wearing my favorite shirt -- sleeveless, white eyelet lace; I was wearing it as a farewell gesture. My carry-on item was a parka. In the Olympic Peninsula of northwest Washington State, a small town named Forks exists under a near-constant cover of clouds. It rains on this inconsequential town more than any other place in the United States of America. It was from this town and its gloomy, omnipresent shade that my mother escaped with me when I was only a few months old. It was in this town that I'd been compelled to spend a month every summer until I was fourteen. That was the year I finally put my foot down; these past three summers, my dad, Charlie, vacationed with me in California for two weeks instead.

College of Art and Curator of the Lahore Museum. Kipling was to be assistant editor of a small local newspaper, the Civil & Military Gazette. He sailed for India on 20 September 1882 and arrived in Bombay on 18 October 1882. This arrival changed Kipling, as he explains, "There were yet three or four days' rail to Lahore, where my people lived. After these, my English years fell away, nor ever, I think, came back in full strength". Travels & First writings During the summer of 1883, Kipling visited Simla (now Shimla), well-known hill station and summer capital of British India. By then it was established practice for the Viceroy of India and the government to move to Simla for six months and the town became a "centre of power as well as pleasure." Kipling's family became yearly visitors to Simla and Lockwood Kipling was asked to serve in the Christ Church there. He returned to Simla for his annual leave each year from 1885 to 1888, and the town figured
contract demands and insisted she return to work on productions she considered inappropriate, such as The Girl in Pink Tights (which was never filmed), The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing, and How to Be Very, Very Popular. Marilyn Monroe Productions Main article: Marilyn Monroe filmography Once in New York Monroe set up her own production company, Marilyn Monroe Productions, with fashion photographer Milton H. Greene. As The Seven Year Itch raced to the top of the box office in the summer of 1955, and with Fox starlets Jayne Mansfield and Sheree North failing to click with audiences, Zanuck admitted defeat and Monroe returned to Hollywood. A new contract was drawn up, giving Monroe approval of the director as well as the option to act in other studios' projects. The first film to be made under the contract and production company was Bus Stop, directed by Joshua Logan. She played Chérie,[29] a saloon bar singer who falls in love with a cowboy. Monroe
on the verge of accusations. There was a break in the case when the Symmington's beautiful young governess, Elsie Holland, received an anonymous letter typed with the same typewriter that had been used to create previous letters. The doctor's sister, Aimee Griffith, was arrested, since she had been seen both typing the letter and delivering it. Everything fell back into place for a moment, which lasted a bit longer than usual. Jerry and Megan went to London to run some errands, visit his doctor and buy new clothes for Megan. He also began to realise that he had fallen in love with her and as they returned, Jerry asked Megan to marry him but she refused. Miss Marple had seen that coming all along and knew how it would come to benefit. Jerry went to Mr Symmington to ask his permission and of course, Mr Symmington agreed as he wanted Megan out of his way. He soon realised it wasn't going to be as easy, when Megan came to blackmail him, telling she had seen everything
" "Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!" "How so? How can it affect them?" "My dear Mr. Bennet," replied his wife, "how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them." "Is that his design in settling here?" "Design! Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes." "I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley may like you the best of the party." "My dear, you flatter me. I certainly have had my share of beauty, but I do not pretend to be anything extraordinary now. When a woman has five grown-up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty."
1) INDIAN ROCK ART: A NATIONAL TREASURE IN DANGER Unrecognized, unprotected, this priceless legacy of primitive art has endured the ravages of nature only to fall victim to wanton destruction by ,,civilized" man. Like the huge stone statues of Easter Island and prehistoric cave paintings of Altamira and Lascaux, North American Indian rock art is surrounded by an atmosphere of mystery. Although examples of rock art exist at some 15000 sites in canyons, deserts, caves and river gorges. Nowadays, however, primitive rock art in the United States has become a new field of scientific study. Klaus F Wellmann wrote two books about rock art. He is a professor of medicine. Rock art represents the history of aboriginal Americans. In the most cases the art is an expression of ideas and way of life, ritual ceremonies, hunting, fighting. The pictures of people and animals are often strikingly lifelike and artistic. Many of these ancient relics have been destroyed by the ravages of nature and of man

without worries until the first snowfall. It was evening indeed, so the temperature stayed around +5 Degrees only. Heartless was cold, yet she was used to it already. Much worse was walking in the dark. She knew the streets well, and yet there was an unexplainable fear in her little heart. The child didn't look back it wouldn't change the situation, she thought. Soon Heartless reached the Royal Church the place she'd always wanted to visit. The doors were half-open, so our little heroine dared to enter...but that was a big mistake, because as soon as she entered the doors behind her enclosed at once. She tried to open them, but it was useless. She wanted to scream for help, but something stuck in her throat. Terrified by this, she turned around and moved towards the altar, passing the wooden benches on both side the carpeted way, without even paying attention to the
Pushkin by heart does not work wonders with one's speaking skills, really. (Although I still can recite one of his poems...) The point is, I actually really like Russian. I've never been good at it, but I like the language and I really wish I knew it better. I can speak some, but not read much. As soon as the characters stop talking to each other, I'm stuck and can barely understand anything. Most of my Russian skills my ten years younger mates envy come from my year of living in Narva (literally starve or learn!) and talking to a variety of Estonian-Russian roleplayers I know. (But since they are also fluent in English and most in Estonian as well, it turns into a stew of languages very soon.) Chronologically the second language I started to learn was French. That was because of the Descartes Lyceum. Don't remember much of that, except for half a dozen badly spelt childrens' songs
"Did you get settled into your new apartment?" I was surprised he remembered, but I appreciated it, too. I'd met him during my second interview and liked him right away. "For the most part," I answered. "Still a few stray boxes here and there." "You moved from San Diego, right? Nice city, but very different from New York. Do you miss the palm trees?" "I miss the dry air. The humidity here is taking some getting used to." "Wait 'til summer hits." He smiled. "So...it's your first day and you're my first assistant, so we'll have to figure this out as we go. I'm not used to delegating, but I'm sure I'll pick it up quick." I was instantly at ease. "I'm eager to be delegated to." "Having you around is a big step up for me, Eva. I'd like you to be happy working here. Do you drink coffee?" "Coffee is one of my major food groups." "Ah, an assistant after my own heart." His smile widened

limited. Nevertheless, I think, it is the perfect situation in life. If you are eager to get something you have to think how it is possible to fulfill your dreams. I knew I was interested in writing and photography . Then came the question, how could I combine them. I examined the theme thoroughly and to my suprise there have always been many nationwide competitions for students and the prize sometimes has been a journey to somewhere. I rememember clearly that the first prize that I got for an essay was a backpack and the first journey that I won was to Brussels. To this day, thanks to these competitions, I have had the chance to visit about ten foreign countries and many of them even twice. Herewith I just want to say that nothing is impossible. The main thing is the desire to gain something. When you have found a goal, then you just have to start working for it! Big city schools have always been preferred to small schools. Even so, it is unfair to say that schools
sees how other poeple are honest men and he commits several things he is not proud. He causes the death of his best friend, he buys him a box of hard liquer, his friend dies, leaving him his property. Hawley outlaws a banker, and he calls the immigration officials and he gets the shop. And of course he realizes he has done wrong, and he tries to commit suicide but changes his mind. Some people say that the end is very weak. His son is a schoolboy, wants his father to write an essay for him. The beginning of action coinsides with eastern, the passion of christ. This is when Ethans own passion symbolically begins. His final downfall coinsides with the 4th of July. The most important christain holiday and political holiday somehow frame Ethans change and it shows that corruption is all persuasive. And in this sense it is allegorical, that there is nothing holy, not eastern, not 4th of july, everyone is corrupt

not the couple themselves. Once married, a woman had to accept her husband children, preferably sons. The wife of a noble had other responsibilities. When her lord was away, she was in charge of the manor & the village lands, the servants & villagers, the harvest & animals. She had to defend the manor when attacked, to run the household, welcome visitors, store enough food for winter, was expected to have knowledge of herbs & plants to make medicine, visit the poor & the sick etc. She had little time for her own children who were often sent away at the age of 8, the boys to ,,be made into men". The peasant women were busy making food, cloth, clothes, worked in the fields, looked after children, geese, pigs, sheep, made cheese & grew vegetables. The family home was dark & smelly, the animals often shared the family shelter at night. A woman's position improved when her husband died, she could get control of the money
Lamb to the Slaughter by Roald Dahl (1916-1990) The room was warm and clean, the curtains drawn, the two table lamps alight - hers and the one by the empty chair opposite. On the sideboard behind her, two tall glasses, soda water, whiskey. Fresh ice cubes in the Thermos bucket. Mary Maloney was waiting for her husband to come him (correction: home) from work. Now and again she would glance up at the clock, but without anxiety, merely to please herself with the thought that each minute gone by made it nearer the time when he would come. There was a slow smiling air about her, and about everything she did. The drop of a head as she bent over her sewing was curiously tranquil. Her skin - for this was her sixth month with child - had acquired a wonderful translucent quality, the mouth was soft, and the eyes, with their new placid look, seemed larger darker than before. When the clock said ten minutes to five, she began to listen, and a few moments later, punctually as always, she hear
After taking a post as a French consul in 1783, Crevecoeur published little in English, though he did publish a French revision of Letters (1787) and a final book on his American experiences: Voyage dans la Haute Pensylvanie et dans l'état de NewYork (1801). Letters from an American Farmer is an excellent example of how a New World American thinks about the many changes occurring and that have occurred during the era of Enlightenment. Crevecoeur's essay is an enlightened perspective that shows how the people of that time are feeling about being a part of the new world and its current workings. Although the writer is originally from Normandy, and later Canada, he seems to truly grasp the changes in American society and how vastly different it is from Europe. Crevecoeur explains that America is a literal melting pot for people of all religions. He states that "the Americans become as to religion what they are as a country, allied to all"

set of bunk beds. Every night, they traded places. The one on the bottom was drenched by the other's urine during the night. The problem was not laziness but bad health, rendering Himmelstoss's ploy ineffective. The man assigned to the bottom often slept on the floor and thus caught a cold. Haie, Paul, Kropp, and Tjaden plotted their revenge upon Himmelstoss. They lay in wait for him one night on a dark road as he returned from his favorite pub. When he approached, they threw a bed cover over his head, and Haie punched him senseless. They stripped him of his pants and took turns lashing him with a whip, muffling his shouts with a pillow. They slipped away, and Himmelstoss never discovered who gave him the beating. Summary The Second Company is assigned to lay barbed wire at the front, an extremely dangerous task. As the men's trucks rumble toward the front, they pass a house, and Paul hears the cackle of geese

temperatures not much lower than 0ºC in winter and not much higher than 30ºC in summer. There are no extremes of temperature, abundant rainfall all the year round and frequent changes of the weather. English people often complain about their weather. The mild climate is due to the warm Gulf Stream. Occasional winds from the east in winter bring cold and dry weather. The mountainous areas of the north and west have mare rain than the lowlands of the south and east. The best time to visit England is from May to September. July and August are the hottest months, but unfortunately the wettest too. In September and October the temperatures drop slightly. January and February are the coldest months and there's often snow on highland areas, especially in Scotland. Plants The mild climate, plenty of rain and a long growing season in Britain support a great variety of plants, which grow exceptionally well.
,,The Road to Wigan Pier" George Orwell AUTHOR George Orwell was the pen name of the English author, Eric Arthur Blair. He was born on June 25 in 1903 in Motihari, Bengal, in the then British colony of India, where his father, Richard, worked for the Opium Department of the Civil Service. His mother, Ida, brought him to England at the age of one. Orwell was educated in England at Eton College. After service with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma from 1922 to 1928, he returned to Europe to become a writer. He lived in Paris for the next two years, and then came to England as a school-teacher. He lived for several years in poverty. By 1936, Orwell had joined the Republican forces in the Spanish Civil War. He was wounded in the fighting. Late in the war, Orwell fought the Communists and eventually had to flee Spain for his life. During the Second World War, Orwell wrote a weekly radio political commentary, designed to counter
25/11/2012 22:54 The World According to Student Bloopers Richard Lederer St. Paul's School One of the fringe benefits of being an English or History teacher is receiving the occasional jewel of a student blooper in an essay. I have pasted together the following "history" of the world from certifiably genuine student bloopers collected by teachers throughout the United States, from eight grade through college level. Read carefully, and you will learn a lot. The inhabitants of Egypt were called mummies. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and traveled by Camelot. The climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere, so certain areas of the dessert are cul- tivated by irritation
