When caught in less than circumspect circumstances, Charlotte decided she hated Gideon Black and blamed him for the situation she then found herself in.
Homeless, penniless and jobless she had no option but to accept Gideon’s proposal of marriage. A lighthouse on the Cornish coast was where marine biologist Gideon Black had set up home, studying the marine life and writing a book.

Charlotte finds herself at the end of a prison term for committing a felony against a man who deserved it. Upon her release, she finds that he is coming after her. Not for revenge but because he believes she has something of his, something that could put him away for life and topple a criminal enterprise.
One day, though, Charlotte overhears plans for a mutiny amongst the crew. She immediately alerts Captain Jaggery. Grabbing his guns, Jaggery heads for the deck where he and the crew dramatically face off. The mutinous crew is led by Mr. Cranick, the man Captain Jaggery abused, and hes back for revenge. Captain Jaggery shoots Cranick, and then picks a scapegoat from the crew to punish for the mutiny. Jaggery chooses Zachariah, who is the only one of the crew who stands up to Captain Jaggery and tells him he’s crule and a terible captain. For this, both Mr. Hollybrass (the first mate) and Captain Jaggery whip and beat Zachariah mercilessly. When Charlotte attempts to intervene, she accidentally flicks the captain with a whip. He becomes fureous and beas Zachariah harder. He appears to be dead. The crew holds a funeral for him and throws a tied up hammock out to sea, which Charlotte assumes contains Zachariah's body. Charlotte attempts to apologize to the captain for hitting him with the whip, but he flat out rejects her. Feeling forlorn and abandoned, she decides she must take responsibility for herself and atone for her actions. Charlotte then dons the trousers and blouse that Zachariah gave to her and sets out to join the

Although she at times opposes what would be expected, like when she decided to pay the extra shilling to the man carrying her trunk, against Mr. Grummage’s orders (14). She always easily goes back to the fact that she “ had been trained to obey, educated to accept” (21). Charlotte dressed like a young woman and had never even thought about dressing differently (5). She “ certainly wanted to be a lady” (5).
In the story, The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, Charlotte walks down to top steerage, where her luggage is, to get a couple of her belongings. When she’s down there, she sees a mysterious face staring at her. She doesn’t know who it is. It’s neither Captain Jaggery or the crew. She walks up to it slowly and finds out it’s not alive, it’s a fake face. She starts up the ladder but realizes she forgot her clothes. When she climbs back down to get her clothes, she sees another face, she realizes this face it alive. She had no idea who the face was. (Chapter 6 & 7, Pgs 70-71) This relates to the theme because here Charlotte had to be very brave to go up to the face, go back down to get her things, and having to go down there when she needed something from her luggage. She won’t know if the face will hurt her when she’s down there and she won’t know if the face is still down there.
In the beginning of the novel, Charlotte determines of the start who she is able to trust by appearances. She determines Captain Jaggery is trustworthy since he looks like a gentleman from England. Charlotte decides not to trust any of the sailors since they all seemed

In the dystopian classic, Animal Farm by George Orwell, the pigs on the estate possess authority succeeding the initial revolution, and as a result, demonstrate qualities of smartness and cleverness, yet never procure Orwell’s trust. With the revolution occurring, and the death of Old Major, the previous leader of the animals on Manor Farm, a position of leadership arises to which “fell naturally upon the pigs, who were generally recognized as being the cleverest of the animals” (Orwell 12). This fulfillment grants the pigs, in particular Napoleon, the power each desires, due to the shrewd method to obtain authority each pig displays upon the conclusion of the revolution, which reassures the chaotic, confused animals. However, Napoleon and
Freshman Ella. It’s a scary thought, but for this story we have to go back to March of my freshman year at an event called Chamber Festival, which is basically when you play in small groups instead of large orchestras. In our school orchestra I was second chair viola which, me only being a freshman, was a very big deal. At least it was for me. Many of my other friends in orchestra already had their own instruments, and I felt like it was time to get one of my own. So for months I begged my parents. I insisted that I wouldn’t give up playing in a year or two, that I really would stick with it long enough for the investment to make sense. Finally, in the beginning of 2015, they agreed to get me a viola. Now was the hard part, agreeing

“Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ” is centered on a man named Judah Ben Hur. Judah was a prince and merchant in Jerusalem and was accused of a crime that he didn’t commit. Hur had to go through trials and tribulations in order to survive and fight for the ones he loved. This film was intense, historically dramatic, and religious. The director of this film is William Wyler. Wyler centered the movie around a Jewish man, but also on a Christians prospective. Dennis Grunes stated in his article that “William Wyler made some excellent films (These Three, Jezebel, The Letter, The Best Years of Our Lives), but, following the estimable achievement of Friendly Persuasion (1956), which took the top prize at Cannes largely on the strength of blacklisted Michael Wilson’s
