Time travel

When I arrived to Maycomb  I saw lots of farms and animals.On my first day there I decided to walk the city because I wanted to see everything that this town could shown me and I was right I saw huge and beautiful houses but lots of them had porches with tuscan columns,people spent most of the day sitting there because it was to hot to stand in the street.Later on I felt I was dying  because of temperature it was like 40Âșc so I went for a cold drink at a grocery store and saw an amazing car , it was a Rolls Royce phantom II, the owner of the store told me it belonged to a rich  business  man, who owned cotton fields.Then I asked where could I stay and he told me that at the end of the street I could find a place to stay.It was a huge house with a gable front and wing family with a shed roof .

In my second day I wanted to  become aquatinted with the river so I asked for directions until i got there I spent half my day there until a man came to me and ask me if I was from the town when I answered,he noticed I was not from here, then he introduced himself , he was the rolls royce owner , then he invited me to he's house to meet his family.He lived in a I-house and huge gardens , I met his family they were very kind and polite his wife was using a blue dress and he's kids were using overalls   because they were playing .Later he  drove me to the place were I was staying. People here used formal clothes men wear suits an women used very elegant dresses 
That was my trip to Maycomb an old but awesome town that had very polite and pleasant  and kind people ,this place has lots of architecture and very amazing places if you want to travel I recommend Maycomb.

Animal Farm


1.- "Now comrades, what is the nature of this life of ours? let us face it: our lives are miserable, laborious, and short."

2.-"We are born, we are given just so much food as we will keep the breath in our bodies, and those who are capable of it are forced to work to the last atom of our strength; and the very instant that our usefulness has come to an end we are slaughtered with hideous cruelty"
He wants his community to realize in the situation they are living, that they can eat what humans give to them , that they are being exploited,and that they don't mean anything to man "the very instant that our usefulness has come to an end we are slaughtered with hideous cruelty".

3.-"No animal in England knows the meaning of happiness or leisure after he is a year old."

4.-"No animal in England is free"
With this he wants animals to know they are not free, and they are prisoners in the farm. 

5.-"The life of an animal is misery and slavery: that is the plain truth"
what he wants to do is to produce a feeling of anger in the animals for they could recover what is theirs and notice they have been salves and not free animal as it should be.

6.-"But is the simply part of the order of nature? is it because this land of ours is so poor that it cannot afford a decent life to those who do well upon it? No comrades, a thousand times no! The soil of England is fertile, its climate is good, it is capable of affording food in ambulance to an enormously greater number of animals that now inhabit it. "

7.-"This single farm of ours would support a dozen horses, twenty cows, hundreds of sheep, and all of them living in a comfort and a dignity that are now almost beyond our imagining. Why then do we continue on this miserable condition? "

8.-"Man is the only real enemy we have"

9.-"Remove man from the scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished for ever"

10.-"Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not 
give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he 
cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. "
With this phrase ,he says that man is gaining every thing animals produce but they don't give nothing back,what he wants is  animals could realize what the man is doing ,that man is using them.

11.-"Yet he is a lord of all the animals""He sets them to work"


12.-"he gives them back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving"

13.-"and the rest he keeps for himself".

14.-"You cows that i see before me, how many thousands of gallons of milk have you given to during the year? And what has happened to that milk which should have been breeding up sturdy calves? Every drop has gone down the throats of our enemy."

15.-"and you hens how many eggs have you laid in the last year and how many of those eggs have hatched into chickens?"
 He wants animals to know what is happening in the farm, that some of them are killed before they are born, he wants to show how cruel humans are and what could happen if they don't take action .


16.-"The rest have all gone to the mark to bring in money for Jones and his men"

17.-"and you clover, where are those four foals you bore, who should have been support and pleasure of them again"

18.-"nearly the whole of the produce of labor is stolen from us by humans beings. There, comrades, is the answer to all our problems."

19.-Such is the 
natural life of a pig. But no animal escapes the cruel knife in the end.

20.-To that horror we all 
must come--cows, pigs, hens, sheep, everyone. Even the horses and the dogs 
have no better fate.

1.- I think the note taker is not wrong but he is not right neither  , because her way of speaking makes the other people think she is from the "gutter", but that does not determine her position in the society. There are other factors that determine this, like her birthplace or her familie's financial situation, the time where she was because in that time women did not a lot of opportunities to work .

2.- I think his proposition is impossible because it will only change the way she speaks not her nature and just because se speaks in a more sophisticated way it will not transform her into a duchess.This plan  totally ignores her identity because everybody has their own way to talk but it is a generous offer because this change of speech will help her to get a better job.
