The Second Passage I choose, is from page 38. "Then might I........you do, sir." This passage is important because this is were Mrs.Pearce tells Mr.Higgins, that he shouldn't do the things that he usually does in the mornings when he comes down for breakfast. The reason she tells him this is because it could set a bad example to Liza, and she could think that what he does is proper manners. The reason I choose this passage is because it shows that Mrs.Pearce also cares about Liza learning her lessons. It also shows that even though she is mean to her, she wants whats best for her.

Assignment #2
The First Passage I choose, is from page 27. "Well, I ain't....can go elsewhere." This passage is important because thats where The Flower Girl comes to Higgins house and offers him a deal. The deal is that she will pay him, to give her, Proper manners and, better English skills. And I think thats when Mr.Higgins is going to change his attitude, because of Liza. The reason I choose this passage is because, I think this is were the main story begins. I think that this is how Higgins and Liza get along and maybe fall in love with each other.

I agree with you in passage number 1, it is important because Higgins might change because of Liza and since they will be spending so much time together he is going to have the chance to fall in love with her.
ReplyDeletePassage number 2 is also important because Liza shouldn't be seeing Mr.Higgins have bad manners if he's the one who is going to be teaching her. She is going to use that as an excuse to not follow his directions because he does it too.
I think that passage number one is important because it is how the story begins, but Professor Higgins changes his emotions not because of love but because of compassion. In passage two it's true that Mrs.Pearce cares for her and does want her to get her manner classes. Mrs.Pearce is like a good mother caring for Eliza and Mr.Higgins and look out for both's best interest.
