Hi Hna! :wave:
G'day fellow forum gatherers!
I'm from Australia and I was researching Nathanial Hawthorne when I came across this site. I liked what I saw and decided to join. Looking forward to getting to know (some - because there are so many!) of you and joining in any discussions.
Hooroo for now, AussieHannah
Welcome to the forum, AussieHannah!
Good evening! Wow I just found a great treasure-this website. I am so privilege to be part of this forum. :lol:
I am Lalaine from the Philippines. I love life. I am blessed with an loving husband and 2 adorable kids. I love nature. I love art. I love to sing, dance, act, write and read .
I am currently teaching in an International school here in the country. We are presently reading Great Expectations in my Grade 8 English class. Today my students gave me a set of questions some of which I find it difficult to answer. I need your help.
Hi. Question # 1- In the first chapter of the book, what did the author mean about his brothers "being born on their backs with their hands in their trouser pockets"?
HOw did his parents die and his other siblings? Did they die young? Pip never got to see his parents,how was he able to describe how his parents looked? Thanks.
Welcome to LitNet lalaine :)
Please re-post your questions in this Teaching part of the forums,
http://www.online-literature.com/for...lay.php?f=3163 you will get more people seeing them.
This is me. A dot.
A point.
A tiny theoretical point on an infinite two dimensional plane.
Surrounded by billions of other dots in an infinitely uncaring eternal cosmos known as the web.
From one theoretical point to another:
Hi.
Just joined.
hi to all newbies!!!
Welcome to the forum, Zampano! Sounds like you really know your place, to an excruciating degree. I'm sure you'll have a nice time here.
Hello Everybody! I'm Spanish And 50 Years Old I Got This Site Because I Am Very Interested To English Literature. I've Been "sonet Shakespeare A Day" Suscriber For, At Least, Six Years. I Am Working In A Multinational Enviroment And, For That, Knowing As Much As Possible About English Literature Is Very Important For Me.
Best Regards To All Of You
Hi all of you!

Your remark is possibly a good way of putting it, anyway.
Newby here, and don't have a clue what book you are refering to, but anybody born on their back with their hands in their pockets would be someone that's more than just lazy. That praticular individual would be so lazy they wouldn't take their hands out of their pockets long enough to put food in their mouth.Quote:

Boy, am I overwhelmed!
Welcome Cindi. We won't hold the fact that you have a Journalism degree against you. :D Only kidding. Welcome. ;)
ohayoooooo

Hi,
I am fairly new to this forum, though this is not my first post as I have been really digging the song title game and posting there a lot. But, I thought I should formally introduce myself here and say hello to everyone.
I joined this forum because once long ago I was a literature student, and I am trying to get back into that mindset. It's weird, but I can't remember enough to participate outright in the discussions on literature, but I have enjoyed reading the posts. All I can remember from my school days is really enjoying The Lady of Shalot (I ended up writing two papers on that one and there is a good recording of it by Loreena McKennitt) so that is where I got my name here. I also liked William Blake. :) I see some really interesting poeple and posts on the forum and I am glad I stumbled accross this one.
Nice to meet you Shalot. Don't worry about what you remember and what you don't. We're not too harsh. Welcome.
Hi Shalot! Welcome to the forum!
Hi, everybody!
It's the first day i'm on this great website which allows me to meet so many friends here. Thank Pensive!
I'm from China. I'm a postgraduate majoring in linguistics, but i start to prepare for GRE in the hope that i could study in U.S.A. after my graduation. I like sci-fiction, romance stories and Robert Frost's poems. I keep reading because it can open another world and a different kind of culture to me; also it enhances my English gradually and helps me think in English instead of Chinese.
Weeping Willow, hi, i'm happily surprised when i know you are from Israel. I was a volunteer for the World Choir Games held in Xiamen China during Jul.16-Jul.26, 2006. I served as a translator and tour guide for LACHAN Jewish Chamber Choir. The Choir members are Jewish but live in Canada. We have had a great time together. This experience makes me feel intimate to Israel, Jewish people and Canada. ^^ My registered name "Keter" is given by the Choir Conductor which is a Hebrew name meaning "crown". All in all, it's glad to say hello to you on here.
Anyway, i'm so happy to meet you here. :p
As you can see, I'm very new to this forum, I stumbled across it one day and thought it was great, so, here I am. :D
Of course I have to say that I love to read. Right now I'm really keen on Austen and the all three of the Bronte sisters. I read P&P and I absolutley LOVED it. I also enjoy mystery, (Agatha Christie is a guilty pleasure), fantasy and the odd sci-fi. I come from a very musical family, so I play piano, sing and am learning to play violin. I am also a lover of all sorts of music from classical to rock and almost all things in between. I draw and act.
It feels kind of wierd to read all the things that others have posted and know there really isn't anything exciting for me to post, but I guess I'll just have to wait.:rolleyes:
WHOO, Christie!! Welcome to all new members!
