This holds true to the good nature and laid back attitudes of the people. In Saskatoon your neighbour isn’t just a neighbour.

It is this small amount of money the family depends on, which allows them to be happy and content in their lives, even if they “were not well dressed” and their “clothes were scanty”. Dickens proves a valuable lesson through the Cratchit family and Scrooge’s wealth. He is able to show that money can ensure that you survive, but is not the most important aspect in one’s life. It is the qualities of kindness, joy & being charitable that make life complete. Good rebuttal point Charles Dickens’ novella “A Christmas Carol” presents to readers how the most important things in life are priceless.

He states ‘they found out at once, what ordinary folks would never have discovered – the poor people liked it!’ which shows that actually not all workhouses were as bad as they are now believed to have been. Oliver Twist also says ‘where it was all play and no work.’ He says how they get 4 good meals a day and free drinks and everyone enjoyed it, telling us that It was actually a huge benefit for the people which lived in this workhouse compared to how they would be if they lived and worked outside of the workhouse. This is also similar in the extract of A Walk in a Workhouse, where Dickens’ says that ‘to find the pauper children in this workhouse looking robust and wall, and apparently the objects of very great care’, this shows that not only that even real workhouses weren’t as terrible as everyone thought they were but that Dickens’ was very keen on making sure that his representation of workhouses and other aspects of his writing were very accurate to how they were in real life. Despite the fact both the workhouses sound pretty good during parts of the extracts, the rest of the writing is in fact very gloomy for both of the novels. Once the members of the board have visited the workhouse which Oliver Twist lives in and seen that everyone was in fact enjoying themselves, they changed everything – they wanted the poor to have as gloomy a life as possible.
Flick through a 1960's magazine and you'll see countless images of children with Cheshire cat grins, frolicking in a field of daisies, under a flaming hot star, blissfully unaware of everything happening in the 'adult world' - economical crises and political problems. This image really supports the idea that life was anything BUT easy in the past(!) Sure, kids these days are surrounded by various forms of entertainment, drowning away their minuscule issues, enveloped by their surround sound system. And yes, statistics do show that the lack of sport and physical activating due to access to gaming and TV, HAS led to obesity. But since when was obesity easy to live with?
Jackson writes about the apparent warm friendship among the citizens; “They (the children) broke into boisterous play, and their talk was still of the classroom and the teacher, of books and reprimands” (Jackson). Even on the day of the lottery they were friendly to one another; “‘Thought we were going to have to get on without you, Tessie,’ Mr. Hutchinson said, grinning, ‘Wouldn’t have me leaven m’dishes in the sink, now would you, Joe?,’ and soft laughter ran through the crowd.” Like any other small town gathering, the children played together, the woman gossiped, and the men talked among themselves. While people might appear innocent and friendly, they can be purely evil in
A partnership in generation, member FDIC.” It went something like that. The reason I think I remember it is because of the catchy jingle they’d sing. And to this day, whenever I think of banks, they are the first ones that come to mind. Another ad I remember is the Kit Kat commercials on TV. Just yesterday, I caught myself humming “Give me a break, Give me a break, break me off a piece of that Kit Kat Bar.” I also love how you can actually hear the “crunch” of the candy bar on TV, it makes me want to go to the store and grab one.

"Napoleon in rags" represents a homeless person and the life of the character is framed in the lines "when you got nothing, you got nothing to lose" and "You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal. ANALYSE Okay so analyze, analyzing a related text can be pretty simple if you know how to break down the text and do it bit by bit. In my case the lyrics are begun with the fairytale convention of the words “once upon a time” which is giving the audience the effect of a narrative and the idea of a fairytale and the characters will live happy ever after. This technique is easily reconisable and displays that there is going to be a story, with or without meaning. The use of plural first person using the words “you” and “your” emphasis that Bob Dylan is talking to the girl and the audience feels that Dylan is directing the song to them.
My Worst Splinter The sun was shining bright, and the trees were swaying in the gentle breeze on this warm spring evening. Life was good and school was almost out; the summer of 2006 was nearing and that meant baseball season was about to begin. I was outside playing tag with a few of my neighbors. We were all running and chasing each other without a worry in mind. One of my friends decided to chase me down, for I was trapped on top of his swing set with only one way down.
