Today's Class Period

I really enjoyed that we spent in class. Since I work usually 3 to 9:30 for three days straight so sometimes I don't always get to the homework on time. This time gives me time to catch up and also make sure that I am understanding the reading by collaborating with others about "Great Expectations" and also collaborate with others on the book "Tale of Two Cities" which I am not reading. I was also able to use this time organize myself further with the scholarship applications that are due in the next few days. I am able to put my ideas and drafts on paper so that when I so get home from work I can type up my essays for my scholarships without so much time being spent putting my ideas and thoughts together.

How do Estella's criticisms affect young Pip?
It motivates him to become a gentlemen and move up in the world.

For what purpose does Miss Havishman raise Estella?

How are Magwitch and Molly connected?

3) I think to test our knowledge on it is for all the people who read a certain book teamed up and created a mindmap. If they read both they would choose the one that they are most comfortable with. Then after the mindmap is done it will be acessable to both groups of people to study and read on.
