To start off my name is Kai Francis and this is my first post on my blog. This year my English class was way more exciting than last year and there are different things that I enjoy about it. I actually enjoy reading the stories that we read in class. So far all of the stories that we have read I enjoyed and didn't really get bored. I also enjoy having Ms. Santos and Ms. Pettigrew as teachers. They make class more fun, and make me want to participate in class more. So far since I've enjoyed reading most of the storied I'm pretty sure that A Doll's House will be no different.
The author of A Doll's House, Henrik Isben, wrote this play in Germany in the year of 1868. He was born on March 20, 1828 in Norway. He was a Playwright, poet, and theater director. Many of his plays including this was were considered scandalous in his time of living. The title might relate to the story as having alot of different parts and characters. Doll houses are complex and have different rooms and dolls. So it also may have something to do with a family and there life. Usually when you have a doll house you have dolls representing different people in the house. The major themes in the play are family, gender, corruption  religion and more. It sounds interesting and I cant wait to start reading what the play is all about.
