ThE eNdinG oF thE DoLLS HoSe

The ending of the story is very dramatic. When Torvold finds out what Nora has done to save his life, he gets furious. He yells at her and mocks her. Later, when Krogstad returns the deed, Torvold gets very excited and burns it. He then gets very pleased with Nora and is back to loving her. But by that point, Nora realizes that she isn't happy there. She then wants to leave, claiming that she thought she was happy, but she wasn't.
She says that she has just been a doll, and that he can do whatever he wants with her, and she cant do anything back. She's there when he wants her, but isn't when he doesn't. That is exactly what a doll is.
Sorry its late, its because I hit preview instead of publish, and I realized that today. I saved it so its all good now. My bad.

Act I Scene I

So far in the play, a bunch of drama has taken place. In my opinion so far, Nora is a very independent lady for working for that money. She deserves to be treated with respect since she is the one who saved Torvold's life, but Torvold treats Nora with much disrespect, and she puts up with it and is always optimistic when he says anything to her.
 These type of characters remind me of Portia and Brutus in a way from Julius Caesar. Brutus is treating Portia like she is a "prostitute," as she says in the play, who is like Nora who takes in the insults. Torvold is much like Brutus, who is treating his wife with much disrespect. This is my opinion of the story so far, and I can't really think of anyone besides Brutus and Portia that are like Torvold and Nora in literature.

The DoLL HoSe

I had lots of fun in English class. There were some fun things that we did this year. Every day was exciting in that class. One thing that was really cool was the pig's head that  Ms. Santos brought in. I think that we should take a field trip to Broadway or six flags to make it the best English class ever.
Anyway, Henrik Ibsen was a Norwegian Playwright that lived in the 1800's. He is now considered the father of theater  He was known for his scandalous plays. Many even consider him the greatest playwright since Shakespeare, but I doubt that his play is as great as JUlius Caesar. He was also a poet and a theatre director in his career. How can you be so many things in one lifetime? He also wrote many other plays called Peer Gynt, Ghosts, An Enemy of the People, The Wild Duck and Hedda Gabler. I think the last one was in Norwegian. He wrote two types of plays: naturalsim and realsim
