Louisa was robbed of a life of imagination and emotion while logic took over her entirely. In stark contrast to Louisa Charles Dickens provides the character of Cecelia “Sissy” Jupe as the light to a very dark situation. Sissy is a daughter of a circus clown and is full of life and imagination, compassion, and femininity. She embodies everything that the ideal Victorian woman would…

Some said of the Australian Outback that God never crossed west of the Great Dividing Range. God, of course, had a choice. Not so Durham, exiled to fly-blown Hughenden. The Sub-Inspector and Mrs Durham arrived to a barren landscape dusted in parched hues of thirsty brown, the clay soil of the basaltic plain cracked for want of rain.

The Hippodrome, similar to a racecourse today, was an ancient…

She’s like a mystery, many say she once spent three days traveling the circus, or sneaking backstage at a concert Quentin Jacobsen: he isn’t popular classified as a “nerd “doesn’t stand up for himself, and been bullied by many classmates. Its pretty obvious he’s the exact opposite of Margo; for sure not a risk taker and getting…

killing. Although, they may want to keep me around if they like me, hmm. Now I'm starting to hear the footfall of 50,000 people walking into the arena’s spectator sections, and then the shouts of the people as bread is thrown to them. Bread and Circus, bread and circus. That is all this is for them, a meal and a day of fun with the family. They don't see it as murder, all they see is their entertainment. Do they not care that people are being murder, or simply ignorant and can't process that it…

nickname for him, ‘Crown’. All the children love how interacting, and loving Dick was when he came around. Cho let us know how interacting Dick was by saying, “To entertain the blind children he would try to describe an escalator by leapfrogging, circus animals by imitating their noises, and a television by letting the children almost touch one in the picture.” Also, I think he lied because he wanted all the blind children to like him.
