robert browning shows love and hate through Porphyria’s lover. In each of the characters the narrator, Porphyria’s lover show little emotion in the monology but through the weather in witch he discribes him self, “it tore the elm-tops down for spite, and did it’s worst to vex the lake,” it is describing the weathe as bad tempered and angry, this set a gloomy mood over the poem.this is called pathetic fallilacy and was used by many author’s at the time. this show he is angry he may be also using a double meaning porphyria may even be the wind which he say’s annoy the environment this could explain why he eventhough porphyria’s lover kills her he also shows love. he discribes her love for him as a passion that she cannot control. this show that he understnads here love, but he never embraces it. browning uses figrative language, i belive that her hugging him out of passion is related how he talks about her like he owns her “that moment she was mini, mine.

Yalta recap
at yalta the different leaders had different idea’s for the future of poland:
Roosevelt who was very ill at the time,wanted to keep the democracy in eastern Europe so they would opposes the USSR’s dictatorship. Roosevelt wanted people to vote for their government and have ultimate choice over their leader.
on the other hand Stalin wanted the ussr to have security from the west. he wanted the soviet union to keep its polish territory that was taken in the nazi-soviet pact. he also wanted to make sure that the polish government were simpathtic to the soviet form of democracy.
Churchill wanted to stop Stalin making Poland soviet this was because britain had gone to war in 1939 to help poland and churchill did not want to abandon poland to soviet control.
the London poles were the anti soviet future government the started their government in in london as a “government in exile.”
the lubin poles were the soviets answer to the polish government they were set up by the USSR in a place called lubin the wanted the government to be communists Stalin felt he could trust them.
the Warsaw uprising was an attack on Warsaw by the London poles, they did this as they thought that they could become the government if they could seize part of Poland before the red army.the London poles and many sympathizers enter the city and destroyed it the red army (which were near by.) did nothing to help the people of the city. because their was no opposition nearly 300000 poles were killed.afterwards the Germans sent the surviving people of Warsaw to concentration camps and when the red army finally took the city it was completely deserted.
Stalin refused to help the rebels as they were anti communist.
at the Yalta conference starlin gained territory from eastern Poland and north japan
the Lubin poles became Poland government
a place in the UN

sent prisoners of war back to USSR to be killed or imprisoned (these men were forced to join the war.
The floor sloped upwards towards the sky, the sunburn grass lay trampled in the ash like soil. Which was under a sky that was always a pale clear abyss. In one direction you could see noting but the dense foliage that encompassed the fold in the flat ground that we call a mountain. In the other, the summit seemed to play tricks on you. Always enticing you making you feel closer to the frost caped goal that you so desperately sought.
The sun climbed higher, raising the intensity, as others turned back you carried on. The midday heat burnt your back with its unceasing puerperal swelter. You climbed on still unnerved by the odds. you kept putting one foot in front of the other to get closer the the frost caped goal that you so desperately sought.
The sun has hid it’s face, it has not broken you like the many that came before you. You will climb ever closer to you goal. As the blinding white powder crunches under foot and the heat you cursed before has become you friend, you will not stop you will not rest. The only light its the ominous moon that sit’s proudly above your goal, the twilight glow shining it’s light above you, on that snow caped goal you so desperately sought.
Now the mist is around us only the sky is above us, we are the highest people on the planet. We stand in awe of our surroundings, absorbing the awesome landscape which we have travelled. The world has a pink haze on it horizon that gives every thing a friendly glow. Now we have reach our goal. We have met the summit but our journey isn’t over, this is only the half way point. What is to come is uncertain… But we have reached our goal that we had desperately sought.
Act3 scence 1
In this act of Julius Caesar, Julius dies, this is probably the most important scene of the play as the character that the play is named after dies. I believe this is the best scene as you can truly see each characters motives and why they do what they do. you can see this right from the start as the soothsayer from the start of the play is here to warn Julius that its not to late. also you can see that cassius one of the more complexed characters is very pushy “case, be sudden, for we fear prevention. brutus, what shall be done? if this be known cassius or caesar never shall turn back, for i will slay myself.”
the assassination.
I believe that Shakespeare’s representation of the Julius assassination is very vague giving play directors the chance to show it in the way that they would want to.
you can see how vague it is in the lack of stage direction, this is one of the most important scenes in the play and has some of the least stage directions. even though it is vague it has a blunt sort of edge to it in the way that it doesn’t mess about, in most scenes their is a riddle or something deeper to look at but in this scene everything is on the surface. we can see the bluntness in the way people talk they say one line then stop. I’m not sure if he does this to replicate the knifes in the story or for a different reason al together but I am sure that this style is very different to his usual poetic flow of words.

“there was a smell of stale whisky and pig-pen”
“atticus’s fist went to his hips, so did jem’s”
“”it do,” another deep voice said. its owner was a shadow.”
miss duboues
when jem threw that rock and said atticus is a real gentelman, just like me.
i originally though that he was going to try and be like his father a bit more, but now i think that Jem’s view on atticus at that time changed. i believe that know Jem could have seen his dad in a different light. before atticus seem like his old man who is too tired for everything like foot ball or even to teach him to shoot, all he does is read the paper and books. Jem still held Atticus high but he didn’t credit him any manliness. now Jem has seen Atticus shoot a dog he thinks that he is brave and manlier than before.
atticus probably relises this so he thinks up a way to show him real bravery and to teach him how to act. that real bravery come in the form of miss duboues. she may have very different view to atticus, and atticus knows she isn’t a good role mood but he know her conviction to carry on against all the odd is what he wanted to show him.
when jem starts to read to miss duboues he hates it and keeps up his hostility against her.“my sister an’t dirty and i an’t scared of you.” as the weeks go on the time they spend gets longer and long. jem hates it more and more. finally miss duboues dies a little while after jem has finish reading with her. atticus reveles that she is an morphine addict and that her reading session with him were helping her get better. jem gets very annoyed mis duboues send jem a box that contains one of the flowers miss duboues likes jem burns it and storm of but atticus tell that eventhough they had split points of veiws she was the bravest person he knows.
i think that atticus let him go to the readings to show him how he should act in life and what a real gentleman acts. he wanted to show him that she had conviction know matter how cruel she seemed.“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do. Mrs. Dubose won, all ninety-eight pounds of her. According to her views, she died beholden to nothing and nobody. She was the bravest person I ever knew.”
Boo Radley
boo Radley intregues the children a lot as at this point in the book, boo Radley is an unknown entity. As he is this man that is known by all, but still is a ghost as he has’nt been seen for years an has a repeportation for blood. There are many rumours and views on this character. Characters in the book are known to have walked miles just to avoid boo’s house. As the story goes on dill interest in boo increases and is infectious for both Jem and scout. after touching the house Jem gets less and less scared of boo he starts to play games about he and starts to humanism him. soon all fear of this character is gone and the kids want to invite boo for ice cream. they try to send him letters.
jem come silently to the conclusion that boo must be the person that puts all the things in the knot hole.
ch9 and atticus.
chapter 9 is a very important chapter in the book as in chapter 8 it is still introducing new charichters and showing you their personality’s.chapter 9 is really the start of the story as you are introduced to the court case which the story revolves around.it also shows you how the town is affected by the court cases and Atticus choice to defend tom Robinson.
I believe that this chapter shows a lot about atticuses opinions and thoughts about the rest of society. in chapter 9 it also shows that most of the white community in America are agenised attiuses opinion. this reflects on scout as now she is getting bullied because of the case. even her cosine teases her. Atticus urges scout to not care about what people think he know that the case will be hard for her and he wants her to try and learn from it.
atticus knows that tom is doomed but still takes the case because he thinks if he doesn’t he will not be able to hold up his self respect and sense of justice. I think that atticus has a view on life that is all about good morals. you must always act for the common good and do what you think would be right.
If you shouldn’t be defendin’ him, then why are you doin’ it?”
“For a number of reasons,” said Atticus. “The main one is, if I didn’t I couldn’t hold up my head in town, I couldn’t represent this county in the legislature, I couldn’t even tell you or Jem not to do something again.” […]
“Atticus, are we going to win it?”
“No, honey.”
“Then why-“
“Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win,” Atticus said. (9.16-25)
