Great Expecations: The First Stage

Pip is referring to the day he went to Miss Havisham's and started to compare them to his family and started to see how common they all were. He was altered form believing he was normal to thinking that he was lower then Estella and Miss Havisham. Pip became increasingly self conscious about him self and his apprenticeship to Joe. From the first time Estella commented on Pips hands and boots he started to strive from an uncommon life. The most memorable day that began my chain was when i chose to go to an art school instead of the regular middle school. All of my friends were going to go onto their middle school life with out me. I accepted this fact with the knowledge that the other school would have more experiences for me to enjoy even if it was not with the people that i felt comfortable with. This choice has made me more confident with myself. I can be independent and go against the grain while knowing I will do great with whatever i choose to do.

Mariah and Deisha,
My topic was the different levels of dishonesty in the play The Importance of Being Earnest. My part was on the lie about how the baby was lied about. My first quote was from Lady Bracnel asking Mrs. Prism where the baby was. I talked about how Mrs. Prism had not come forward about the true placement of the child. My next concrete detail was from Jack questioning Mrs. Prism about the bag he was in as a baby. I went on to say how the bag was where the lie had started and that the person who had taken it didn't know about the lie. (i am not sure if this is a good connection. tell me if you have a better idea for it) My last quote was Jack asking Lady Bracnel about his real name. I talked about how he found out that he was not lying at all. I thought this would tie into Mariahs topic better and make it flow better.

I'm not quite sure how i should write my topic sentence until i see both of your blogs.
