In this passage I predict that we will find out that Ricards “uncle” is on the run and hiding from the law, and later in the book he will get caught by the authorities and arrested. Which will have some kind of a big impact on Richard and his family. Some of these impacts I predict that could happen are, the authorities will arrest Richards mother and his aunt due to the fact that they were letting this man into their house and hiding him from the police. If this predicted situation happened to Richard and his family, it would leave Richard and his little brother without parents forcing them to live in an orphan home again. Going back to the orphan home would most likely make Richard furious and sad, considering the fact that the first time he was at the orphan home he hated it with a …show more content…
I have also predicted another possible scenario that could happen in place of the first situation. For this second situation I predict that, this suspicious “Uncle” has a plan to gain the trust of the Wrights, by pretending to be in love with Richard’s aunt. Then after a while, while he’s with them he will rob them and take what little money and supplies that they have left and leave without a

    Wentworthville Magpies Season Review The Wentworthville Magpies had a disappointing season in terms of results, finishing in last position with six wins and 16 losses. Defensively they were poor - conceding over 28 points a game with a for-and-against record of -225. A mid-season switch of coaches from Brett Cook to Steve Hales occurred in round 13, and Hales, while disappointed with the results, was happy to see some the turnover of players from VB NSW Cup to NRL level. Coach Steve Hales said: “For us, finishing at the bottom of the ladder wasn’t great. But seeing the likes of Daniel Alvaro and Bureta Faraimo, Vai Toutai and a lot of the boys that were playing NSW Cup at the start of the year move up to NRL was really pleasing from a club…

    “One Saturday, an hour before his father would be coming home, Roy was wounded on the rockpile and brought screaming upstairs.” This passage is a foreshadowing of an event that will happen later in the story.

    “ You're an idiot, Henrik. ” Below a grey sky, Gordaldo stood outside the flyboat, sighing at Henrik's tangled predicament; it was the only thing Gordaldo could do for his companion imprisoned for breaking Duke Roth's nose after a heated argument. “ Onward, to your assigned stations, ” Then Lichtenberg—the royal soothsayer and leading theurgist—issued an order which spurred the armed forces underneath his authority into marching toward the city center. Customly, Gordaldo obeyed as did the other soldiers with the unthinking, automatic swiftness of a machine; they walked shoulder to shoulder weapons in tow, wearing black armor branded with a wolf bearing a broken sword. And thus, the partially ruined settlement filled with concerted steps of armed men and their beasts of warfare and blaze as they secured roadways, buildings and removed obstacles from their path.…

    Throughout Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, there are some chapters that readers may feel lack information or any plot movement that pertains to the book in a direct way and would like to just pass through those chapters as quickly as possible because those particular chapters are thought of as filler chapters. If there is one thing a reader should take away from studying any Jane Austen piece is that she has a talent to formulate and place events in an appropriate order so that everything that happens throughout the novel fits perfectly together like a puzzle and that she has a rhyme and reason for the information she expresses throughout the book. A particular chapter that should be focused on is Chapter 10 in Volume One. On the first read-through, this chapter seems unimportant based on how it is primarily about writing letters and killing time until Jane Bennet has recovered from the…

    “You get, you give”(97), from The King of Mulberry Street by Donna Jo Napoli, means that you share your fortune with others to spread hope and kindness, so that allies and friends are made wherever one goes; the main character, Dom Napoli, shares his money and food generously and often, meeting friends at the same time.

    A Christmas Carol Analysis I have loved A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens since I was little so I was very excited to see how Michael Daehn brought this iconic story to life. In his version, I believe that Daehn wanted to convey the heart of this story. To share the message of hope and selflessness and redemption and perhaps to inspire and enlighten the audience. By choosing to use a version of this play that incorporates music he not only brought this story to life but brought the audience into the story.…

Tom would rather have Muff Potter rot in jail, than to lay witness to Injun Joe in court. “…Their wavering impulse to break their oath and save the poor betrayed prisoner’s life faded and vanished away…”…

In A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens, almost every character experienced or had a role in the resurrection of another. To truly undergo resurrection, one is required to have died, and then rise from the dead. In the Dickens novel, a few characters experienced true resurrection, however, the idea of figurative resurrection within individuals is exemplified even more in the plot. Dickens uses this concept of resurrection to elaborate on his main idea that everyone could experience redemption and recovery if they deserved it.…
