essay of two novels

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and Great Expectations by Charles Dickens are two great novels they both have alot of similarities and differences.
Some of the similarities are they both are not the rich, they also are similar because they have the opportunity to married and fall in love with someone rich (Pride and Prejudie),in Great Expectations the situation was a little different he dind't married with someone rich, some decided to give him the opportunity to have an education and live inthe rich society.

These two novels are different in some many ways for example Pit the main character of Great Expectations , does fall in love but with the wrong person and everything he does is for her, if you compare that with Pride Prejudice , Elizabeth the main character she is a women that is not desperate to married or find mr. right , the only thing she wants is to marry because in love.

In conclusion they both are great novels but for my point of view Pride and Prejudice is more romantic novel compare to Great Expectations that ismore like life experience.

Cowboys Don't Cry.

The teenage years can be a difficult and challenging time for many adolescents. In the novel Cowboys Don't Cry, the main character Shane faces many conflicts and problems that he overcomes. Shane deals with many conflicts such as character versus character, character versus nature and also character versus self. Through examining these conflicts the reader can see how the main character matures to become a better person and to grow up and develop himself, his ideas and thoughts, his feelings and how to control himself as well his emotions and feelings.

First of all, Shane faced many character versus character conflicts in the novel.
The first conflict he has is with his Dad after the death of his mom. As a result his Dad started losing himself, he became an alcoholic and also they started losing their communication. This apparent in this quotation when Josh said to Shane "I should've know better than to trust you with her horse'(Cowboys Don't Cry p.49).
Shane started be confused about his feelings to his Dad. On the other hand Josh started losing the communication to his son because he was afraid of Shane feelings. In addition Shane had another character versus character conflict with Bart. They started with wrong foot, they fight, however at the end they have something in common in their families problems , they finally solve their problems and differences by saying things directly and clearly and to each other when they don't have a fight and they share the trophy.

Secondly, Shane has many conflicts versus nature living on a ranch and dealing with animals. The main conflict he has is with Angel, when Angel got cut in it's leg because it get trapped in a barbed wire. As a result Shane has to face the fear of losing Angel and the trust of his Dad as you can noticed when Shane Dad said to him " I should've know better than to trust you with her horse", Shane have to take the consequently so his Dad is mad at him and Shane have to live with that, even though that happened jeff was there for Shane to not be so worried about it.

Thirdly, Shane has many conflict with himself.
the conflicts he has are about expressing his feelings when his mom die , he couldn't express his emotions because his Dad wasen't there for him and because "Cowboys Don't Cry"( Cowboys Don't Cry p.3). Also he knew that he still loving his Dad , like he said in the novel "I knew I still loved the guy who use to be my Dad"(p.6), however he hated the guy his Dad become , in addition he had problems with himself , when casey said to him that he expect a lot from people , that make shane to think if that is true or not, if he was expecting a lot from his Dad.
Futhermore Shane realized that he was blamed his father for his mom's death.(Cowboys Don't Cry p.105, 106)"you don't care about me . you don't care about yourself. The only person you ever really care about was mom and you k..")Finally that night Shane wasen't angry anymore.

In conclusion Shane is able to find himself to figure and to be able to control and show his feelings and emotions, to not expect a lot for people , as well to not run away from his problems. Alsohe is able to find his feelings and to clear his mind and forget the past and live the present, he finally learned that he never stop loving his Dad. As a result he finally knows his feelings and knows that things are going to be better

ESL Trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the ESL class trip should be something fun , could be going to a park and play some sports or maybe going bowling, I thing the best way to enjoy a trip is doing something most of the students and teachers like and of course something fun and funny were everyone can enjoy of the company of each other , were every one can be more social or something were everyone can participate.

I will like as a student to go and do an activity were everyone participate and were we can know each other better and were we can be more in contac we the nature. Were we can play a lot specially some sports and enjoy of doing something together as a ESL class.

wedsites

Computers are important tools in educatioo as well you need good wedsites . Specifically, Google, Youtube, and translations wedsites. These tools make education easier for students , teachers, and even people how work in companies ect and also I like to used them because you get better information and for easy and faster.

First of all, google is a wedsite were you can find every type of information that you need or want, it gives you the option to choose the source of information you need by probading from other wedsites. Google is important in everyday to a student and teacher ect; because help them to find what they need , these information help them to communicate because in the way it is explain or sometimes write.

Secondly, Youtube is another wedsite were people could find interesting and educational things because it show videos were shows an event, teachers can make a class more intersting by showing videos, students can do a presentation by showing videos so other students and the teacher undertand better the topic he or she is presenting, and these help the teacher and the student to comunicate better.

Thirdly the translations wedsites are very good sourceses to students and teachers to communicate because you cand find words that you don't understand or your teacher finding words to try to explain to you, these also help in your communication and for other people how work in companies and travel around the world.

In conclusion these wedsites are very helpful to students , teachers and people beacuse made things more easy to find and to understand and help in the way you communicate with others, thats why I like to use them.
