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

2 letters - 2 same = 1
DD
3 letters - 0 same = 6

The widow whispers "Free, free, free!" Louise realizes that her husband had loved her, but she goes on to explain that as men and women often inhibit eachother, even if it is done with the best of intentions, they exert their own wills upon eachother. She realized that although at times she had loved him, she has regained her freedom, a state of beeing that all of G-d's creatures strive for.
Lucy’s death caused a negative impact on Lois not allowing her to live her normal life. The incident of Lucy's death caused Lois to become more invested in Lucy's life even after her disappearance. Lucy and Lois had been best friends or what they like to call it summer best friends: “Lucy was her best friend at camp, Lois had other friends in the winter when there was school and itchy woolen cloth and darkness in the afternoons but Lucy was your summer friend.” (55) While at camp they shared a lot of great memories with each other that allowed for intense stories. This summer had come with a lot of unexpected feeling and actions that neither of them anticipated.
Another way the book shows us to be grateful is she always thanks Andruis for giving them extra food.

Arthur unknowingly reveals that Lucy was married to three other men because of the transfusion.
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

... goal was to become "such a help to John" (392). She has discovered the one place where she can have supreme control, and nothing will challenge her, apart from her own mind. But she has zero capability left to even interact normally with the outer physical world, and so it is although she isn’t even there.
Orly Goldwasser makes the claim that the alphabet was invented by Canaanites who were directly influenced by Egyptian hieroglyphics. He suggests that Egyptian hieroglyphics made it possible for the alphabet to be invented. She explains that the Canaanites likely used hieroglyphics as models and taking small sections of the pictograms and using them in a way to represent sounds. She clarifies that he thinks it’s likely that for some of the letters, they used objects from their own world as models instead of hieroglyphics. She further argues that these Canaanites were not sophisticated scribes, but rather were illiterate, based on his belief that they could not read hieroglyphics. She takes this position based on his observations of letters
