Hello Seventh Period!

For your ORB written assignment, I am requiring you to make three postings about your ORB to this blog. You must choose three different options from the "blogging options" handout (on First Class). I am looking for superb commentary, which should make obvious why your ORB "educates your conscience."

The Thirteenth Tale: Acrostic-Isabelle

Independent. "... she had to be rid of her brother" (69). Isabelle wanted to have her brother out of the picture in this scene so she could go of on a walk with a boy, who she would later run off and marry. Charlie, Isabelle's brother, didn't want her to ever leave his sight and doesn't want her to be independent so he tried to get her to stay with him but she always tricked him and slipped away at the last minute. Despite what Charlie wanted Isabelle went off and became and independent young woman.

Sly. "Everyday she slipped out of Charlie's sight, escaped his grasp and disappeared on her bicycle" (71). When Isabelle slipped away she went and saw Roland, her boyfriend and future husband. Charlie wanted Isabelle all to himself and didn't want her to ever leave because she was the only thing that he cared about. His whole life revolved around her and she is what kept him alive everyday, but Isabelle wanted to be her own person so she would leave when Charlie wasn't looking and not come back until late in the night.

Amazing. Isabelle was odd in many people's opinions but with a couple people she was the thing that made them happy. Charlie, her brother, and Roland, her boyfriend. She was the reason why they woke up every morning. In their eyes she was perfect and had nothing wrong with her at all. Isabelle was a unique young woman who could brighten up anyones day.

Bright. Isabelle was bright woman and always took things in such a positive way. She could put a smile on any one's face starting from when she was a baby. When her mother passed away while having her and her father was in grieving and was really sad and so then the nanny brought Isabelle into her father and he began to smile and not lock himself into his office all day.

Everything. Isabelle was everything to her father, George Angelfield. Whenever he saw her his face would light up and he would feel amazing. He took care of her and did everything for her. She was loved more than her brother and her brother stayed out of the picture and when he did, Charlie could get away with anything and his father would never care because all his father cared about was keeping his little angel, Isabelle, happy.

Loss. Isabelle may not have had lots of losses in her life; she did lose her mother but not like she was to many in her life. Charlie lost Isabelle not once but twice, he lost her once when she left to go be independent and marry her husband. After he died she came back to Charlie for his help with her twins, but then Charlie lost her again to the insane asylum. These things devastated Charlie so much because he fell so much in love with her again when she came back it was just as hard to lose her Isabelle the second time around.

Lunatic. Isabelle was sent to an insane asylum after she tried to kill a woman and had no remembrance of it after. She had to leave her twin daughters and Charlie, who once again lost his sister and this time for sure would never hear or see from her again. Charlie was really sad after this happened and the twin girls were too young to understand that they were losing their mother forever.

Emmeline and Adeline. These are the names of Isabelle's twin daughters that she showed up with at the doorstep of Charlie's house after her husband died and she needed a place to go. These girls were odd and they were interesting and everyone in the town thought that they had a mental illness. Once, they stole a baby in its carriage so that they could play in it and left the baby on the ground where they were playing with the carriage. These girls were trouble makers and they got it all from there insane mother, Isabelle.
