Sorry the link won’t load this is my work:
I think that Mr Bennetis the most amusing character. In a stereotypical Victorian family the male would ‘dominate the household and run the family however in this novel the male is held back and is not seen as greatly as Mrs Bennet. Mrs Bennet is the one making all the decisions; telling her girls what to do and their goals for her; and even telling her husband what to do; leaving Mr Bennet in the background. Mr Bennet is also portrayed as a weak character in the book which would have been amusing to people in the Victorian times as males would not be portrayed as that. One example would be when he is searching for Lydia and fails, he give up and hands the job over to Mr Gardiner. Overall I think that Mr Bennet is the most amusing character for his peculiarity and his differences. In a way, he adds his own twist to the story, making it rather than a typical Victorian book to a unique one with original characters.

Hi Beth, this is my homework for this week:
October 14, 1666
Dear diary,
Today, I was privileged to witness the Battle of Hastings, an event that shall rewrite history as a monumental victory for Duke William of Normandy (my 5th cousin) and the French cause. From the moment the first arrows flew, it was clear that my dear cousins tactical brilliance was on display. The Normans, under William’s command, demonstrated extraordinary discipline and strategic acumen.
The Saxon forces (those whom we were fighting) was led by a man named Harold Godwinson. Harold Godwinson has rather short matty hair that fell on the top of his shoulders. As the battle grew feircer and feircer just like a ravenour fire swallowig all which got in its way, a strong musty smell came over out men, yet still we persevered. We executed our plan with remarkable precision. Our soilders fought relentlessly, forcing the harried Saxons to weakened their formation. The turning point came when William orchestrated a brilliant retreat, a move that drew Harold’s men out of their stronghold.
What i saw was a sight to behold, men fell everywhere i looked. Horses screamed, my eyes grew wide. A bitter sandstorm which erupted from the fight flew into my mouth. I heard scream after scream which plunged me into a deep see emotions but our men still pushed through. Yet amist all the chaos, I managed to pick out Harold Godwinson falling amongst the fray, a testament to the ferocity of the conflict.
As I watched William’s banner rise above the battlefield, it was evident that today’s victory would have far-reaching consequences. This battle not only secured our Duke’s claim but also marked the beginning of a new chapter in our history. It was an unforgetable moment. I, Louis Thornton, feel honoured to be able to witness the conquering of Great Britan.
Yours sincerly,
Louis Thornton -
H Beth this is my homework for the week – Sorry i couldn’t make it to the lesson!
Early Life and Hardship
Frances Hodgson Burnett was born in England 24 November 1849. Her family faced financial hardship after her father’s death. This experience of loss and struggle is mirrored in “The Secret Garden,” where Mary becomes an orphan and faces a bleak future in her uncle’s gloomy manor.Emigration to the U.S.
At 15, Burnett’s family moved to Tennessee, facing the challenges of adapting to a new environment to live in. This transition mirrors Mary’s move from India to England in the book.Personal Losses
Burnett endured significant personal losses, including the deaths of her eldest son – Lionel – from tuberculosis and her husband Hodgson from a stroke. These tragedies influenced her writing, bringing themes of grief and healing into “The Secret Garden,” where the garden symbolises renewal for Mary, her uncle, and her cousin.Love of Gardening
Burnett loved gardening and believed in its healing power. This belief is central to the book “The Secret Garden,” where the garden transforms Mary Lennox’s live.Emotional Transformation
Burnett’s characters often undergo emotional growth. In “The Secret Garden,” Mary and Colin both find strength and happiness through their connection to the garden, reflecting Burnett’s views on mental and emotional healing.Financial Independence
Burnett achieved financial independence through her writing, challenging traditional roles of a woman. This independence is reflected in Mary’s development into a strong and persistent character. -
Hi Beth this is my homework for this week!
Larry always believed that he was the perfect. Good looking, strong smart, bald, shiny and most importantly, smooth skin. He was always in a good mood (apart from when he ran into Pat the Potatoe who apparently like picking fights with people). Larry (in his not so very humble opinion) though he could win a nobel prize competition for the best potatoe in his potatoe salad. Wonderfull. Luck was also on his side, the cold air really manadged to shape his facial hair into anything he wanted. He though to himself; he would be up there among all great potatoes. He would autition for it, if it werent for that, he was stuck and crammed in a tiny transparent room jam-packed with other not so good looking potatoes. He stared out at his desteny when all of a sudden a hand reached out… His future was fried.

Hi Beth,
This is my homework
In my dystopia world, there would be no one dying and all of the pain would increase by 500%. In that world it would always be 560 degrees, never rain, and you could never tell the time because it was meant to feel like you were there for eternity and beyond. People worked 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 4 out of 4 seasons, 52 weeks in a year and 365 days a year. NO ONE, could take a break. No dead, no excuse. Everyone would get a timetable encrypted in an ambiguous code that could never be encrypted. If, however, it was encrypted, this is what it would say:
1am: Workout – Start with 5 tons. Doubles every day.
2am: Cement making – Donating blood and spit to use to make cement because there is no water.
3am: House and pyramid making – Creating sky touching (literally) houses, pyramids and temples which the top of could not be seen by the naked eye.
4am: Facing your biggest fear But x10 bigger e.g. if your fear is stage fright you get to perform on live tv for the entire planet to watch
6am: Sleep
6:01: House making (again)
7am: Surgery performing – collecting kidneys and heart for a human body to give to people who don’t have one like the person you took the organ out from)
8am: Execution – Getting executed for entertainment.
9am: Slave training – The practise of being a slave by being one
10am: War training – Being a soldier and fighting in a war.
11am: Being trapped in a white box – But you cannot see anything
12am: Being trapped in a black box – But the colour white blinds youIf you were according to how many nanoseconds you were late, that is how many times you get shot. E.g. you were late 1 nanosecond late you would have one thousand bullets getting shot at you. Everyone would have a cruel nickname which would be what they would be called forever and a little bit more.
Some things i would magpie from the book would be that the ‘person’ ruling my island would always have tricks up his sleeve to punish people who don’t obey the rules e.g. hypnotising. Another thing would be that everyone would know what to do and when to do it. One last thing would be that everyone has a number/identity. -
Hi Beth!
This is my homework.
In the book 12 Minutes to Midnight, I think the relationship between Penelope Tredwell and Monty Maples is very interesting. In the beginning, I think that their relationship is pretty strong. Monty was getting paid to act like Montgomery Flinch and read ‘his’ latest story. Near the middle, I think their relationship weakens. Three examples of this is that Monty didn’t really like the fact that he was going to Bedlam Hospital. Second, he didn’t want to stay with Penelope when she was trying to persuade him to stay. Third, Penelope had to really persuade Monty just to help her unwillingly break into Lady Cambridge’s house to find answers. This suggests that Monty didn’t really have such a strong connection compared to the beginning of the book. At the end of the book, it was more Alfie helping Penelope find the time machine and smashing mirrors rather than Monty.
Something I find weird about their relationship is that even though Penelope is younger, I think that she has more power over Monty in their relationship. Penelope owns the Penny Dreadful, publishes it, writes for it and edits it. She can control Monty and what he does and if she fires him or not. She can also control where he goes, how he acts and what he says. This is why I think that Penelope has more control in her relationship.

Hi Beth!
Montgomery Flinch grasped the sides of the computer as sweat trickled down his head,
his knuckle whitening as he stared in the darkness of the theatre.His glasses slid onto his nose and the continuation of emptiness in his dark eyes seemed to shoot a glance across the face of each member in the audience in turn. A mesmerised silence hung over the stage; it was as if the theatre itself was holding its breath as it waited for the conclusion to his latest spine-chilling tale. The expectant hush seemed to deepen as Flinch finally began to speak.
“And when he turned and looked into the mirror, his trembling face which was crumbling into bits, a cracked alabaster in the fading light of the light bulb, he saw the dread face of Mr Cameron staring back at him, the man that he had assassinated some seven years before”.The dimmed gaslights lining the walls of the theatre flickered faintly as a shocked grasp rippled through the air.
Flinch’s face twisted into a grotesque grimace, his voice now a guttural rasp that echoed around the theatre. -
Hi Beth!
Here’s my homework!
I think that Freedom is a very interesting book with a lot of different themes. One of the themes I find interesting is Freedom. Freedom is something where you are over control over what you will do. Peter Marshall once said: ‘May we think of freedom as not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right’.
This theme is portrayed in the book. Some examples are: the title is literally ‘Freedom’, it says various times that Nat wants freedom to get money and free his family, at the end, he gets his freedom.
I think the theme ‘freedom’ in Freedom is something that we can learn from. Every single day everybody wants freedom. Even King Charles in boarding school and the only thing to rely on was your teddy to a poor man wanting to escape his job. -
Hi Beth,
This is my homework
In the book Freedom, there are a lot of things that we can learn from it. Some things we can learn from it is that even when things are at their peak and things are really harsh, you shouldn’t lose hope or give in. This is shown in the book numerous times. For example, at the beginning of the book, Nat was a slave in Jamaica where he is treated horribly and his family moves away. Then, he earns hope to go to England where he could be free. Then, he realised that England being heaven was a myth and the centre of slavery and racism and the story of Zong. However, he meets Henry. A trustworthy friend who helps him with England and how to survive there. When he arrived at Missis Palmer’s house, he was yet again treated badly but then met a servant girl called Mary who helped Nat to escape. Another reason why this is, is because after Nat got caught, he kept going and eventually escaped Missis Palmer’s house and then found The Cat And The Mutton where he was helped once again. Nat kept going and persevering to do better in his life.
Another thing I think we can learn from this book is that it’s nice to be nice. In the book, Mary, Henry, Shadrack and Frances were all very nice people who chose to show kindness and help Nat on his journey. Nat used to be treated so badly he thought that there was a country whose streets were paved with gold and a place like heaven. This shows that Nat was really poorly treated and that we shouldn’t treat people like that.
