Permutation of Letters
EMMA is investigating the amount of different arrangements of letters
in her name; she does the same with her friend LUCY. LUCY has twice as
many arrangements as EMMA, they are curious as to why this is and
decide to investigate other names and find reasons for their answers.

Emma has 12 combinations and Lucy has 24. ½ of 24 = 12 so Emma has
half the amount that Lucy has; this may be because Emma has 2 letters
the same. I will be investigating whther this happens to other names
as well.
I will Investigate -
· The amount of combinations for names with 2-10 letters
· What happens when those names have 2 letters the same
· What happens when they have 2,3,4,5 etc. letters the same
· Whether 3 letters the same means 1/3 of the combinations it would
have if no letters were the same
· Whether 4 letters the same means 1/4 of the combinations it would
have if no letters were the same (and 5, 6 ,7 etc.)
· Whether there are any patterns or rules to follow when estimating
amounts of combinations
· What happens when words have more than 1 letter twice (e.g. LIANNA)
2 letter - 0 same = 2
JO,
OJ
2 letters - 2 same = 1
DD
3 letters - 0 same = 6
Much like Madeline, Lucy becomes a victim of involuntary sleepwalking where she too is stuck in a “dream-world,” yet looking at Freud’s theory of dreams, how can we completely agree on the idea that she was not also acting on her ID? (???) states that “The symptoms (of sleep walking) are not simply a matter of individual affliction-they point to a shadowy world of dreams, repressed desires and the supernatural outside the rational daylight world of an increasingly affluent, increasingly materialistic Victorian society.” The idea of “repressed desires,” exposed in our dreams described by Freud is evidently seen in Lucy. By walking out alone at night we see the emergence of the New Woman being revealed through her sleep walking. This contradicts the “Angel in the House” figure who is “Dearly devoted” to a man, because a typical Victorian woman
In the Turkish Letters, Ogier de Busbecq writes about the women in the Ottoman Society. He speaks about the laws and what is required out of a Turkish woman/wife. The Turks are referred to as "the most careful people in the world of the modesty of their wives." In this society they think the modesty of their wives won't be compromised if they stay shut up at home and hidden away, but if unusual circumstances arise and they have to go out into the streets, "they are sent out so covered and wrapped up in veils that they seem to those who meet them mere gliding ghosts." Men of higher rank or richer classes make it a rule that once they marry their wives can't set foot outside of their threshold. Men in this society can marry as many women as they want, but if a wife has a father of high rank, or bought a larger dowry the husband will under normal circumstances keep her as his only wife. If the husband ever gets tired of his wives they can be taken to market like a slave and sold unless she's had children with him. If that's the case she is considered free. A wife who has a portion settled on her is put in charge of the other women and they have to obey her orders. If things aren't working out between the husband and wife a divorce can be granted it's just harder for a woman to get.

She did not mind that people in general would question the fact that she didn’t take her husbands name, but the fact that her children began asking for explanations of why her last name differed from theirs and their fathers bothered her. For this reason, it made her feel quite uneasy about not thinking her decision through. She felt like her son was trying to make sure that she was one of them, which she was, but yet she was not at the same time. She states “ When I made this decision, I was part of a couple. Now, there are two me’s, the me who is the individual and the me who is part of a family of four, a family member of four in which, in a small way, I am left out.” She also mentions that it never occurred to her that when she decided not to stand underneath her husbands umbrella, that she would be the only one left

Another way the book shows us to be grateful is she always thanks Andruis for giving them extra food.
