Dear Beth,
This is my homework,
Little Women shows the differences between men and women at the time. It could be called a historical book, showing how women lived during the Civil War and how hard times would get. Unlike other books at the time, Little Women was about girls. Normally, if women were mentioned in a book of that time, it would only be talking about men and their love lives for a short period. However, Little Women is not just about girls talking about their love lives, they are also talking about different things. I think people in the world who are bored of classics when mentioned women, only talk about men. This book may be read across the world because of this.
Secondly, Little Women is one of the books that make you keep turning the pages. It is one of the books that you grip it, and read every word carefully with joy.

Hello Beth thanks for the lesson
My homework is below.
Robert Westall shows the effect of the war on the civilian population by every time a house got bombed down, or a person got shot, the civilians would assume that they were dead. This shows the effect of war has made people pessimistic, only thinking of the worst possible result instead of thinking of a more hope-filled one. This is shown in the book when Nicky’s house was bombed down. Everybody presumed him dead, however, he survived the bomb. This shows that the civilians have gone pessimistic, instead of being hopeful.
Secondly, Robert Westall shows the effect of the war on the civilian population by showing that the population has gotten their hands on illegal weapons underage. This is first shown in the book when Chas gets his hand on the machine gun and the bomb rack he found at the beginning of the book.

Hi Beth,
This is my homework.
In my opinion, Chas McGill fulfills the role as the story’s hero. Living in World War II Britain, Chas McGill is determined to outdo his rival Boddser Brown in obtaining the ultimate war souvenir. When he finds a crashed German bomber in the woods complete with machine gun, however, he not only thinks how he can beat Boddser Brown, but he also thinks he can play a role in the war.
I feel Chas McGill is the hero of this story as he is basically risking his life. In the first part, he finds a bomb rack and now, he has found a machine gun. Instead of owning up and giving the machine gun to the police, he instead keeps it, and feels as if he has the duty to participate and use it against the Germans.
In conclusion, I feel that Chas McGill is the hero of the story as he was planning to use the guns against the Germans, using it for his country.

Dear Beth,
This is my homework
Thanks for the lesson.
In my opinion, the extra-terrestrial life beings don’t care about Earth. They see it as another simple planet that can be easily destroyed for a bypass. It takes the role of a trivial matter, easily destroyed and tiny.Vogons see Earth as a simple planet, not caring about the humans living on it, and instead destroying it for a bypass.
Arthur Dent likes Earth very much, as he has lived here himself. Unlike the Vogons who didn’t care about Earth’s inhabitants, Arthur kept thinking about what happened to his family.
Ford sees Earth nearly as comfortably as Arthur because he has been trapped on the planet for 15 years. Since he is an alien hitchhiker, he doesn’t love Earth as much as Arthur, who has stayed there his entire life.
Zaphod doesn’t care about the planet because he is from a different place, and didn’t know Earth all that well.
The Earth, viewed by Trillian, was pretty good as she was picked up by Zaphod and came from Earth. Furthermore, the book suggests it that she didn’t believe it at all when she heard the news of the Earth being demolished.

I believe people should stand up for people in a protected group. Inferring from the poem we looked at together in week 2, it shows that you should stand up for people and not watch them suffer if the people who persecuted the other group came for your kind, nobody will stand up for you as you didn’t stand up for them. Instead of just standing around, people could stand up for the people who are being persecuted, even if it puts their lives at risk.

Dear Beth,
THis is my homework,
It is a few minutes late though,
Kind regards
Leyan.
A society that I think is similar to Camazotz is Noth Korea
North Korea is a totalitarian country. It is one of the most isolated places in the world as citizens are not allowed to travel out of their country, and citizens in America are not allowed to travel to North Korea.
In my opinion, the black thing or IT is King Joung UN. This is because they can be executed or put into labour for 20 years if they criticize their supreme leader. Their leader also has total control over their Tv channels, electricity and their life, even giving execution for a tiny mistake. This feels like the planet Of Camazotz as IT has total control over the citizens, and all of them give up their knowledge to make IT the supreme ruler of Camzotz-like King Joung Un.

Dear Beth,
THis is my homework for week two,
Please mark it.

In my dystopian world, it is a bit cruel.
Firstly, one person must die every day, for the offering of their ruler.
At 6 am, everybody must awaken, the ones that fail this practice, must be kept in a room that makes pain 2000% more potent. Then, hundreds of guards come into the room, wearing bulky and thick suits to prevent the air from touching their bodies. After they get out their weapons, either giant metal-coiled whips or metal sticks. For the next 30 minutes, the guards repeatedly whip the man until he is on the brink of death, and then throw him into the incinerator where he will suffer a painful death
At 7 am, the whole world must finish their food, strictly at 7:30. If they fail, they will be one of the humans that will be picked as an offering to their leader.
At 8 am, everybody should be at work, whether it is a slave, an office worker or an assistant to the leader. The more important the job, the more painful the punishment is. For example, if it is a slave, it is just 15 whips. If it is an office worker, it watching their family die and if it is an office worker, the punishment is crucifixion.
At 6 pm, nobody should be on the street. If caught, they will be banished from their city and dumped in the outskirts of their city, forcing themselves to survive on their own in a wasteland, The periphery of the city is forbidden for all citizens.
At 10 pm, there should be no noise. If there is, guards, storm the house and burn everything up.

Dear Beth
This is ny homework.
Me: Now, thank you for your time as I know you are busy with other interviewers, let us start with the questions.
LE: Okay
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Me. Why did your book include fundamental theories about space and dimensions?</p>
Le: It did because I wanted it to be more fact-filled, only some fantasy. While studying, I could imagine a scientist picking up my book and nodding in agreement with the theories.Me: Which character do you like most?
Le: None of them. They all seem to be wiser than I am.
Me: How did you write books?
Le: I first handwrote my books, then I switched to my father’s typewriter.
Me: Nice answer. Next, how did you come up with the different worlds and planets?
Le: Being a child, I would constantly ask questions until I was a teenager, when I went to a library, science seemed to drag me into the world of space, time and science.
Me: Fascinating answer, truly interesting. Okay, last question, what would you change the book’s title to if you wanted to?
Le: Probably Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who and Mrs Which as they play a key role in the book.

Dear Beth,
This is homework for week two of Twelve Minutes to Midnight,
Please mark it
Kind regards,
Leyan.
Penelope finds out a different dimension and she meets a detective, supposed to be her but different.
A boy named Jake. He can think quickly and get out of difficult situations. His mind can process the most difficult clues, like Sherlock Holmes, flawlessly. In one situation, he was finding out who stole somebody’s money. He looked at the suspect and decided he was guilty. He uses clues and information to impeccably find out who is guilty and who is innocent.
Jake also has many skills. He can pick locks with a paperclip, he is advanced at the martial arts of Tai Kwon, Karate and Kung Fu. Jake also has similarities with Penelope, he is finding out mysteries for his magazine and he has paid an actor to play a person named Josh Mcdougal.

Dear Beth,
This is my homework,
Thank you for the informative lesson.
Kind regards,
Leyan.
In Twelves Minutes to Midnight, the relationship between Monty and Penelope is quite strong, however, is quite confusing for me.
Firstly, even though Penelope is younger, she has more power over their relationship since Monty is only the paid actor for Penelope. Penelope is the writer of The Penny Dreadful, therefore she has more control over Monty even though he is an adult. Penelope can fire and control him even though she is much younger than Monty.
Secondly, Monty is not curious and does not want to get involved in things that he is not meant to be involved in. This is shown when: Monty had to be persuaded quite strongly to break into Lady Cambridge’s house; he didn’t want to go back to Bethlehem Hospital to find answers. These happened near the beginning and middle of the book, when we didn’t know much about their relationship. These things suggest that at the beginning since we didn’t know much about their relationship, it was quite weak.
In conclusion, Monty and Penlope’s relationship is quite strong but quite confusing. Penelope has more control as she is younger and Monty is not that curious like Penelope as does not get involved in things they don’t need to be.

Dear Beth
This is my homework for this week
I am writing the opening in Twelve Minutes to Midnight
Montgomery Flinch gripped the sides of his state-of-the-art moving glass table, his knuckled whitening as he stared out into the darkness of the auditorium. His bristling eyebrows arched and the gleam of the dark eyes seemed to dark across the faces of each audience member in turn. A mesmerised silence hung over the audience; it was as if the theatre was holding its breath as it waited for the conclusion of the spine-chilling tale. The expectant hush seemed to deepen as Flinch finally began to speak
“Anf when he turned and looked into the mirror, his trembling facial features a cracked alabaster in the moonlight, he saw the dread face if Dr Cameron staring back at him,, the man he had murdered some seven years before.”

Hello Beth,
This is my homework for the book Freedom
Freedom is a book that has many themes. One of the themes is adventure. This is because Nat is sold as a slave. Then, he travels to England to look after pineapples. He then escapes the Barret family, then recaptured again. After that, he gets locked in a room with Mr Bird and escapes.
Another theme is hope. The book shows this as he thinks he is free as he steps on British land. However, he realises that he isn’t free and is still owned by the Barrets. Even though he is still owned by his owners, he does not give up hope that he will be a free man. He escapes the accommodation he was living in, to become a free man. He then gets recaptured and escapes Mr Bird, becoming a free man.
In conclusion, I think the themes of the book Freedom are adventure and hope.

Hello Beth,
This is my homework for week 2
In the story Freedom, one of the things that you can learn in this world today, is to always have hope in things and yourself. This is shown when Nat thinks that once he steps on England, he is free man. However, he learns that there is still very little slavery and he is still owned by the Barret’s. Even so, he keeps on trying to become free by running away at night time. Even though he got caught, he kept on trying, escaping from Mr Bird, the parrot that could have plucked or stabbed an eye or finger, successfully. This shows that whatever steps in your way, always or at least try to overcome it.
You can also learn to not be too gullible. In the book, it is said that the roads are paved with gold in England and there was no slavery. However, there still was slavery and the roads were not paved with gold. This shows that young slaves were so unfamiliar with the outside world that they believe their elders.
In conclusion, the things that you can learn from the book Freedom is that you should never give up, and to be not too gullible.

Montgomery Flinch tapped his moving glass table, staring at it as it moved up slowly. He then, after taking a nine-second long gulp of coffee, read out aloud in a drowsy and drunk-like manner, “And the man was the same man he murdered 7 years before.” Even though it sounded quite like a murmur, the front row, who could only hear it faintly, listened intently- fascinated.
Suddenly, a deafening applause echoed throughout the hall. Even the irritated men at the back, who couldn’t hear a single word for two hours, stood up and clapped. Everyone was awed and fascinated. Nobody else could have thought of these attention-gripping stories of mystery and murder. Nobody could think of better plots than Montgomery Flinch.
In an instant after, Montgomery was barraged with interview questions such as :
“Where do you come up with these plots?”
“What is your secret?”
