Charlotte Bronte: How her circumstances affected her writing
Charlotte Bronte's difficult life circumstances strongly influenced her writing. She was born in 1816 and lost her mother at age 5. She and her sisters were then sent to a harsh boarding school where two of her sisters died due to the poor conditions. After being left to raise the children on his own, her father provided a religious upbringing but was not warmly received. Charlotte and her siblings enjoyed writing as an escape. Her books notably parallel her own life experiences, such as the protagonist in Jane Eyre resembling Charlotte and being based on one of her acquaintances. Rather than letting her sad upbringing hold her back, Charlotte used it as inspiration for her acclaimed literary works.
Jane Austen

Austen is considered one of the great pioneers of modern interiorized novels focused on character development.

She drew from her own life experiences for her novels, particularly Pride and Prejudice, though she never found a happy romantic ending of her own. Many of Austen's heroines in her novels did find happiness, which she did not in real life. Her works have been adapted into several films such as Pride and Prejudice, Becoming Jane, Sense and Sensibility, and Clueless.
Jane Austen
Jane Austen was an English novelist born in 1775 who wrote six famous novels, including Pride and Prejudice. She drew from her own experiences to portray the day-to-day lives and social conventions of the English upper-middle class in the early 19th century. Austen began writing at a young age and published her first novels, Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice, after moving to Chawton in 1809. While she lived a relatively quiet life, her witty observations of love, social class, and morality have earned her a lasting reputation as one of the greatest English novelists.
Jane Austen
Jane Austen was born in 1775 in Hampshire, England. She began writing at a young age and produced several early works. As an adult, she wrote the novels Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion. Austen came from a middle-class family and wrote about courtship and marriage among the English landed gentry in the late 18th century. Pride and Prejudice tells the story of the Bennet family and their daughters' search for suitable husbands.
Simple past tense: regular and irregular verbs
The document discusses regular and irregular verbs in English and how their past tense forms are classified. Regular verbs form the past tense by adding "-ed" to the base verb, such as "danced" and "played". Irregular verbs do not follow this pattern and instead have unique past tense forms, like "went", "read", and "wrote". Several examples of regular and irregular verbs are provided, along with charts illustrating their inflection patterns. Exercises are included for the reader to practice identifying and forming the past tenses of different verbs.
My presentation about Magazines!
Magazines are publications that appear on a regular schedule and contain a variety of articles. The first magazine was published in 1663. Magazines provide entertainment and information on latest trends and events. They offer reading material for both genders and travelers. However, magazines can also display provocative images, take more time to find information than newspapers, and give biased information depending on the owning media group. Magazines differ from newspapers in that magazines are more popular with children and offer more entertainment, while newspapers contain more current news.
Writing about my favourite photo
One of Susana Zamora Arévalo's favorite photos is of her husband and daughter Andrea in Andorra. She took the photo in the summer of 2007 while on holiday in Canillo, Andorra. The photo shows her husband holding Andrea's hand as they approached a cow resting in a meadow. Andrea was afraid but got close to the cow. Susana keeps the photo on the wall of Andrea's room. When she looks at it, she remembers the fun family holiday in Andorra and sees how much her daughter has grown since she was a baby.
