Act 2
Act 2 has just came to an end and which of course means a new beginning of an act. Act two has been shocking, I would have never guessed that Nora would cheat around with Helmer with Dr.Rank out of all people? The poor guy is suffering from spinal tuberculosis and there over here letting out there feelings to each other. On the other hand Ms.linde confronts Nora about borrowing the money from Dr.Rank when little does she know she took it from krogstad, but when she finds out she tries to help stall Helmer from reading the mail that krogstad felt was right to send to helmer which will break down his and Nora's relationship. In his own words he says "i shall send you my card with a black cross on it and than you'll know that my disgusting end has begun" (Ibsen191) Only because Nora never told her husband that she forged her fathers signature and which she feels shy to confess.

Act 1 Analysis
Now that act one is finally over, I am curious and impatient to start reading act 2 of "A Dolls House" Through out the act 1 we got to meet all the characters and get a glimpse look of their relationships. The main two characters are Helmer and Nora, and they are a married couple. Helmer makes the money while Nora spends it. Helmer works at the bank and is being promoted to the manager of the bank which means more money and of course wont stop nora from her shopping. Nora is woman with a lien reputation. Her husband says to her "such an atmosphere of lies infects and poisons the whole life of a home. Each breath the children take in such a house is full of germs and evil" because of Nora's lies.
Another character is Ms.Linde. she is Nora's childhood friend who is now a widow and only married her husband for his "stable" buisness which would make them rich, But of course karma is a b't0h and the business goes down and her husband dies. Nora also confronts her and tells her “You see, there are some people that one loves, and others that perhaps one would rather be with.” This leads to another two characters krogstag and Dr.Rank. Krogstag is guilty of forging a signature and Dr.Rank is a Lawyer. Nora is also guilty of forging a signature for her father to pay for his trip, but now krogstag is twisting his words and is willing to let out Nora's secret just to get the promotion. Nora feels that she will be judged by other people for what she did.

Mrs Santos Ms.Pettigrew
English II
2 March 2014
Hello my name is Joseph Fahmy and I am a sixteen year old student at Bloomfield High school. This years English class has been pretty enjoyable with my two teachers Mrs.Santos' and Ms. Pettigrew, and of course my fellow classmates. What I enjoyed the most this year was reading the book "The Alchemist" I also enjoy playing sports and spending time with friends. On my spare time I would sit back and read a book with a nice hot chocolate and maybe just maybe if im bored enough i might even go blogging.
Henrik Ibsen
Henrik Ibsen was born on March 20, 1828, in Skein, Norway. In 1862. He later in life got exiled to Italy where he wrote a book called "Tragedy Brand" Henrick grew up with 5 siblings and a father as a successful merchant and a mother as an artist. After a while living in Norway Henrick moved to Germany where he wrote one of his famous work " A Dolls House " At age Fifteen henrick stopped attending school and started to work as an apprentice in an apothecary in Grimstad. Henrick was Married to Suzzanah Daee Thorsen and had a boy child . Henrick Ibsen then died in May 23, 1906.
I think that "A dolls house" will be about his life with his family. I believe that in this play he expresses his feelings towards his past life and relationships between him and his wife or maybe even a relationship with him and a Doll.
