Improved Essays
1) Creating my book trailer was like a roller coaster ride, it started out exciting and nervously and leaving you feeling of absence, in a way at the end. I would definitely say the best parts in this project were exploring the new technique of editing, stop motion and spend times with friends.

There were Monarch, Nobility, Gentry, Merchants, Yoemanry, Laborers and these classes are determined by wealth, fame, skills and birth. In addition, it was pretty difficult to increase or change your social class during the

    J.B Priestley had set his play ‘An Inspector Calls’ in 1912 although it was written in 1945. But why did he do that? 1912 was an era that was very different from the time that he had written the play in. 1912 was the Edwardian era. This is significant as there were a lot of changes happening during that time period as this was the time of the Russian revolution, the “unsinkable” Titanic sinking after colliding with an iceberg, two horrific world wars, and the Holocaust.…

However, the lower-class families were much different from today’s low-class families. The gap between the two classes was a huge and a majority of England was poor. Most of the low class was orphans, abandoned wives, and elderly.…
