I'm Angela Duenas and I have enjoyed my English class this year very much. It wasn't as stressful as I thought it would have been and was pretty easygoing, which is why I enjoyed it. We also learned about Caesar, and watched interesting videos that pertained to what we learned in class, such as the Mean Girls clip relating to Caesar, and the Simpson's parody of The Lord of the Flies. Currently, we are working on a play called, "A Doll's House." The author of this play is Henrik Ibsen. Henrik Ibsen is a Norwegian play wrighter, and director. He was considered as one of the "Four Great Ones."(http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/ibsen.html)
Henrik Ibsen had always dreamed of becoming an artist, taking after his mother who was a painter and a theater lover. Ibsen and his family weren't very wealthy, they actually lived in poverty. "A Doll's House," probably somehow relates to his life when he became poor. Ibsen had to move to a farmhouse, which wasn't much. He had to give up on the Altenburg Manor, which he might have cherished as a child. His old home could have been the doll house in his life. It could have been the house he loved and never wanted to leave, but he had to because of financial issues. Based on this knowledge, the play "A Doll's House," may include someone having to leave their home behind.
