The Heights of Literature

Advantages: A classic novel that impress peole with your variety of reading materials
Disadvantages: a slightly contrived ending

...As many of you know, I have a great love of literature. Not just the current best sellers but children's classic, adult's classics, text books and many more genres. However, when studying my A2 literature I found that the books lost a lot of the appeal that they once held. Therefore I am pleased to say that I didn't read the classic Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte until just the other day. I had read Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and fell in love at once with Mr Rochester, all of the Austen novels, falling in love at once with Mr Darcy and many of the other Victorian type novels, mostly for pleasure but with the mind that they would help for comparison of texts of the era when I sat the dreaded exam for the worst book I have ever read, Tess of the D'Urbevilles. Now leaving the dreary subject of Tess with her many signs of ill fate...

Review of Wuthering heights - Emily Bronte

Cosi little seat!

Advantages: Comfortable, safe
Disadvantages: heavy

...I was recommended to buy this car seat by a friend and now I can see why they rated it so highly. Which magazine have rated Maxi Cosi as one of their safest car seats and it's been a great buy for us. The seat itself is very well padded and comes with a head hugger which has extra padding on it which is velcroed on. You easily detach this once your baby has out grown it. The head hugger is really great though for when your baby is tiny. It gives that extra comfort and support which a newborn needs. The head hugger stayed in our car seat until our baby was 5 months old. The padding around the rest of the seat is really sound comfortable but not so overly padded that it seems too soft and therefore not safe. When the baby is sat in it it doesn't hunch them up like in other car seats, instead the baby is well supported and has...

Summer Heights High - A Triple Threat!

Advantages: Hilarious laugh out loud comedy - when you understand it
Disadvantages: This will probably be the only series

...the Australian of the year competition, Lilley playing all five contestants, and the final of the competition. It is here, one of Summer Heights High?s finest exchange students first appears. The series consists of 8 half hour long episodes, set in sequence following the life of a term at Summer Heights High, a state school in the suburbs. As already alluded to, it follows the lives of three very different characters in the school. Each gives the impression of living their everyday lives whilst being followed be a camera crew for a documentary series looking at their school and their lives within it. Each episode cuts seamlessly across their lives, from one character to the next, with them having small segments of a few minutes at a time. This is understandable as Lilley would have struggled to play the individual characters so well if they...

The Heights Leisure Centre - Isle of WIght

Advantages: great
Disadvantages: none

...The Heights Leisure Centre, Sandown, Isle of Wight...... The Heights Leisure Centre is located on the main road leading into Sandown (The Broadway). It is a large building which was opened on the 25th March 1982. The leisure centre has many activities on offer all priced at a fairly reasonable rate. Listed below are the things that The Heights has to offer and a little bit about it. Swimming ... There is both a children's pool and a regular pool both of a good size although neither full size pools as the large pool measures in at 25 meters. The children's pool however it lovely and warm and Jack does love having a splash around there.

Wuthering Heights

Advantages: Classic Story, Strong characters. Classics often cheap.
Disadvantages: Difficult language. Some complications

...Wuthering Heights is a book about people. It’s a soap opera in the lives of two households in early 19th century northern England and is one of those books that you just have to read. It’s often mistaken for a love story telling the story of the famous romance between Catherine and Heathcliff. That was one of the mistakes I made. Although there is a relationship explored between these two characters, it’s by no means the main aspect of the story. Emily Brontë explores a range of issues in this book which were obvious key aspects of life at this time. Ideas such as inheritance rights, relationships, marriages and death are all dealt with and a range of options given to the reader. This although may make the story itself perhaps seem slightly weak as it appears to deal with too much almost, it’s an outstanding...

Review of Wuthering heights - Emily Bronte

Wuthering Heights reveiw

Advantages: lots of action,and cleverly written,an amazing peice of english
Disadvantages: long words,starts off slow,its helpfull if you can read between the lines

...Wuthering Heights a deliberately shocking,gothic genre novel which was published in 1847 by Emily Bronte hasnt always been one the greatest love stories written although you would think so after reading it.The exciting and shocking action was to much for the Victorian public to take in! Bronte cleverly reflects the characters through the two contrasting worlds of Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange allthroughout the book for all you english fanatics ,but also for those who just want sheer entertainment the story starts off slow in an isolated location where you would imagine that nothing interesting could ever happen, however you will be impressed when the two houses clash like yellow and purple ,leading to a love that destroys everyone it touches.Personnally i enjoyed all aspects of the book ,being a person who seeks...

An amazing car seat

Advantages: safe, cosy
Disadvantages: none

...Where to buy: This car seat is readily available.

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

great car seat

Advantages: see rview
Disadvantages: expense, heavy

...I bought this when I had my baby as it was apparently the best on the market and I really can't find fault with it at all it has been the most reliable of our baby products and can't rate it highly enough. This car seat is different from others as it is suitable for up to 9 months whilst the majority of others are just up to 6 months. The seat is well padded and has a 'head hugger' so it is safer for newborns. This headhugger can then be removed once your baby is big enough. The straps also can be adjusted once your baby grows so that it is still safe and comfortable. The straps are easy to use- at first they were fiddly but once you have the hang of them then you know what you're doing they're easy! once you have strapped your baby in you then pull on the straps to make them tight so that your baby is safetly in place...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

Bums on seat

Advantages: transportable
Disadvantages: Not much use out of it

...I first came along this seat whilst shopping in Mothercare. I had never seen anything of its sort before and I thought the idea of having Rhys in a chair so as he could play whilst I pottered about doing my chores instead of having him roll around the floor intrested me. So I bought one at the cost of £29.99. Quite expensive but I thought it would come in handy. About the Bumbo The Bumbo is a snug and cozy seat originating from South Africa and is suitable for babies as soon as they can support their own head. Key Feature The Bumbo designed is made so as that the seat is at a lower lever then the leg openingsthus providing correct support foer the back. It is also desided so the baby cannot fall out(cos the legs are higher then the bum) The front support wont push against the babys groin but will stop baby sliding forward...

Review of Bumbo Baby Seat

Bumbo Baby Seat

Advantages: Great for babies ..
Disadvantages: .. if they like it!

...The Bumbo baby seat was given to last Christmas as a present for my little boy. He was nearly 3 months old at the time, and after being recommended one by a friend, I suggested it to a family member who eventually got one for me. The Bumbo baby seat is designed to comfortably support and help a baby to sit in an upright position. The seat is helpful in gifting your young ones with their first experience as sitting up, like their Mami and Dadi. The Bumbo seat itself is made from a soft, lightweight spongy rubber material, and is very durable. The seat can be squeezed, stretched or dropped from a height, and it will always return to it's original shape, and without any marks. The texture of the Bumbo means that it is very easy to clean up any stains that it picks up. The Bumbo is recommended for babies from around 3 months up to 14...
