Tim Tebow

Tim Tebow was one of the greatest freshman to ever play college football and he finished in a close second for the Heisman Trophy. He came back the next year to win the Heisman and became the first sophmore to ever receive the award. Going into his junior year with a high profile and a great team, one that would go all the way and take the title most thought he would repeat as the Heisman. Yet he fell short of the Heisman to Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford. It was unnexpected that the great qb would ever play in a college uniform again. However Tebow isn't any normal player and he came back for his senior year. Some say he hasn't had a heisman caliber year, yet the Gators still sit at number one in the ranking. So the question to you is, does Tebow deserve the heisman this year?

Mr. Wemmick's Double Life

A desk, cold and desolate, no life, no happiness, just a desk with a man sitting at it with no emotion, and certainly no personality. You come to him to pay for the service of a man named Jaggers in hopes that he might win your case. The man at the desk goes by the name of Wemmick, all day at the desk a stern, strict non-negotiable man looking for escape. For him escape is found in his little cottage away from it all where he can let it all go and return to his normal self. Wemmick Is a man of two personalities looking for a way out.

After work one day Wemmick invites to his house and Pip receives an incredible surprise due to Wemmick turning into a totally different man upon reaching his house. Before they got there however Wemmick said to Pip in reference to Mr. Jaggers “he’ll give you wine, and good wine. I’ll give you punch, and not bad punch.”(p 201) This signifies that Mr Jaggers is a very noble man and Mr. Wemmick is much lower than him but is still willing to offer what he has. So with that they set off to the “castle” and since Pip had no idea that it was coming he was incredibly surprised. The cottage was a small one yet it had a drawbridge, flag, gun and it was decorated to look just like a castle. This is where Mr. Wemmick finds his escape from his opposite life of being a jerk and harassing people for their money which is exactly the type of people he hates. He is in it for the money and so he comes home and instantly becomes happy and involved in his creation. This is good for him because he can at last let go and live his life.

Mr. Jaggers is the cruel businessman that cares only for himself and his money. When home Wemmick gets to be his own boss and he is determined to not be the same kind of person that Jaggers is and unfortunately he himself is forced into by working there. With his power at home he uses it for kindness and escape. This is what allows him to survive the day at work. In the end he is a person with two personalities, one that is forced upon him and the other he chooses.

Pip's Home Life

Life at home for Pip is very sad. He must live with Mrs. Joe and Joe G. due to his parents and siblings passing away and him becoming an orphan. Life is very stressful for him as he is strictly restrained to what he can do around the house. Pip being the young, innocent youthful child he is does not do well an environment like this and must get some escape once in a while. Such a behavior will normally lead to a punishment even though he had done nothing wrong as all he had done was go for a walk or something similar. These punishments are very harsh as Mrs. Joe will unleash a belt of some sort upon him for even the simplest of things. The belt had been nick-named tickler and that was far from what it had done as it had been used so often that it was worn from being hit on Pip so many times. She might even force him to drink of a tar like substance for something as simple as asking too many questions. This is the sad life that Pip lives day in and day out at his very home.
