is a child by his 'childish' thoughts and his rather odd imagination. He manages to come up with the 'childish conclusion' that his father is a 'square, stout, dark man, with curly hair' just by looking at his fathers tombstone. Also, that his mother was 'freckled and sickly'. It is quite bizarre that Pip has managed to conjour up that idea from a tombstone. I think Dickens has done this to prove a childs nieve, yet wild imagination. I think Pip tries to trace his parents or identify them

Most authors or directors of plays use only music, lights and costumes to give viewing enjoyment. My preference between watching a live performance and watching a movie would depend on the story, who wrote the story, and taste of entertainment.

A study of Life of Pi by Ang Lee and Tim Winton’s “Time and Tide” explores the power of nature to offer comfort and act as a greater catalyst in discovering human behavior. Both composers use the sea as a representation of nature’s awe and ferocity.

race, ethnicity, class and gender and how they are involved in our lives today. I read different articles under each of the topics in the class, answered questions and discussed them in our follow-up class the week after. In each of our discussions, I’ve learned something new.
