She's loud, outspoken and very stubborn person.  Though as Higgins and Pickering work with her, she starts to become more ladylike. Even though she still acted like she did when she first came to Higgins, stubborn and outspoken. But it also shows that she's very hardworking since she's completely relearning on how to speak, and that takes hard work and dedication. Eliza seems to become softer spoken, more professional and graceful by the time Higgins is done with her. Though she is still a very stubborn and outspoken person. Though most of that is directed towards Professor Higgins and him alone.]]> 2016-12-19 15:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144332598 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144333727 By: George Bernard Shaw

He's able to tell where a person is from just by the way that they speak and what words they use. Higgins is quite rude, harsh, disrespectful and bossy towards Eliza, actually he's like that towards all women. As he works with Eliza, it is shown that he's very hard working since he stays up late and works with Eliza. He tries many different tactics with her, which that shows that he's smart and creative. When she passes the "test" it's shown that he's again very rude. He takes all the credit for Eliza being such a major success. He doesn't give any sort of credit to Eliza, it just shows that he's very full of himself and doesn't like to give others credit when they deserve it. ]]> 2016-12-19 16:38:16 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144343267 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144343529 He is a man that is well versed in language. He's also a man that is quite polite and caring compared to Professor Higgins. It is said by Eliza that she wouldn't have learned how proper ladies act if it hadn't been for Colonel Pickering. He treated every woman like a lady, no matter what their background, which is the opposite of Higgins. Even though he may be a gentleman, or more gentleman like than Higgins, he isn't completely perfect. After the Embassy Ball he too gives all of the credit to Professor Higgins saying "you did it". And he gives absolutely no credit to Eliza, who was such a hard worker. Which that shows that he might look down upon women some even though he acts polite and kindly towards them.]]> 2016-12-19 16:39:25 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144343529 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144382176 https://ramakblog.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/les-miserables-movie-image-samantha-barks.jpg]]> 2016-12-19 19:47:02 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144382176 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144383441 https://seriesinseries.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/katherine-pierce-katherine-pierce-12349652-1024-842.jpg]]> 2016-12-19 19:54:57 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144383441 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144387072 https://www.historicalemporium.com/store/media/outfit_017_450.jpg]]> 2016-12-19 20:20:25 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144387072 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144387972 https://www.londontheatredirect.com/images/Event/Pygmalion/Pygmalion-6032.jpg]]> 2016-12-19 20:29:38 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144387972 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144476742 Eliza Doolittle was a dirt poor flower girl. She gets taken in by Professor Higgins who claims he came make a duchess out of her if he is able to teach her the proper way to speak. Higgins makes a bet with Colonel Pickering on if he could have Eliza ready in six months for the Embassy Ball that they would attend. It was a lot of hard work and it took quite some time for Eliza to learn what Higgins was teaching her, but once she started to get the hang of it, the rest seemed to come more smoothly. After a good amount of work Higgins decides that he needs to to test her out, so he takes her to one of his mother's garden parties in which she was only allowed to talk about the weather and people's health. It wasn't a complete failure, but Eliza needed a lot more work. By the time the Embassy Ball came around she was ready. Eliza had everyone fooled into thinking that she was indeed a lady and not a flower girl. Back at Higgins's place he starts to brag on how he did it with not one ounce of the credit going to Eliza for all of the hard work that she had put in as well. So, she leaves and goes to his mother's place. He finds out where she's at and goes there as well, which of course she wasn't all that glad to see him. The two talk, more so argue than talk. In the end Eliza and Professor Higgins up going their separate ways. It is hinted at that Eliza goes and ends up getting married to Freddy.]]> 2016-12-20 15:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144476742 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144480030 https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR1EO22GkwbvJOBi_E5WQnkRAAaRZxo2BJRKEIRCfMd4x6KofPvmQ]]> 2016-12-20 15:42:40 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144480030 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144480323 The Greek myth of Pygmalion and Galatea is a story about a man, Pygmalion, creating his true sculpting masterpiece and promising to marry afterwards. Which as he created his sculpture, he started to fall in love with it. By the time he was done with her, he was madly in love with it. Pygmalion had fashioned the statue after the beautiful goddess, Aphrodite. And due to the fact that he had sculpted his ideal women after her and because he loved the statue so much, Aphrodite brought Galatea to life. 

The myth of Pygmalion and Galatea is like the play Pygmalion in one major way. The two main men are given a task to create something, and in the end both men create their ideal woman. Pygmalion creates the love of his life, Galatea while Professor Higgins recreates Eliza Doolittle from a poor flower girl into a beautiful and charming lady.]]> 2016-12-20 15:44:04 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144480323 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144481995 http://www.victorianweb.org/painting/france/gerome1.jpg]]> 2016-12-20 15:52:55 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144481995 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144482256 The first major conflict in Pygmalion is getting Eliza to be able to speak as Professor Higgins wants her to be able to speak, how a proper lady should speak naturally. 

This conflict is resolved with hard work coming from BOTH Professor Higgins and Eliza Doolittle. They spend countless hours working on how Eliza pronounces words, articulates words, and how she says each letter of the alphabet. There were many different tactics that they use in order to get Eliza to sound and talk as a lady did in those days. Though there were some major mistakes, such as the day of the mother's house party, they worked on from there and continued to make Eliza a lady. By the time the Embassy Ball was around, she was just as any lady would be. She was proper, acted as a lady, and spoke as a lady as well. Which that resolved the conflict of getting Eliza to speak properly.]]> 2016-12-20 15:54:23 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144482256 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144484673 http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OsSx9c3eW-I/TmUc_HrIooI/AAAAAAAAAo0/X2P9oCtGFjo/s1600/My%2BFair%2BLady%2Bdance.jpg]]> 2016-12-20 16:07:04 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144484673 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144486647 The second major conflict in Pygmalion is Professor Higgins being extremely rude towards Eliza from the moment he met her until she decides to leave. He is rude to her the entire play, and that creates quite a bit of tension between the two characters.

This is resolved when Eliza decides to leave Higgins. Ever since the beginning of the play Professor Henry Higgins treated her awfully. And he didn't give her any sort of credit for her achievements the night of the Embassy Ball, so she knew that he wasn't going to give her any sort of credit then or ever for that matter. So she leaves and when he finds her and confronts her she told him that there isn't any reason to return, which that cuts off the relationship that they had. Eliza leaves and the two never see one another again, which resolves the issue of him being rude to her all the time.]]> 2016-12-20 16:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144486647 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144494395 http://www.chatelaine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/16a611b1488dbd69f1c3f15a98ba-660x440.jpg]]> 2016-12-20 16:54:15 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144494395 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144495932 The character traits that Eliza shows are Responsibility and Respect. Eliza shows responsibility by working hard and doing almost anything any everything that Professor Higgins tells her to do in order to better her speech. The way Eliza shows respect is through her tolerance of Professor Higgins. Even though he is cruel and rude towards her, she stills does what he tells her to do in order to make her better. 

The way that responsibility and respect motivates Eliza is that she wants to prove that a flower girl can take on big things and better themselves. She wants to prove that she can go from a lowly flower girl to acting such as a duchess would. Through responsibility and respect she almost proves that she's already somewhat like a duchess. She can work hard to get things done, and tolerate people that aren't nice to her or don't give her any sort of respect in return. She proves that she is the bigger person.]]> 2016-12-20 17:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144495932 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144541463 https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSRTvGg6AlcWmPp9uBQagRvWzsF0HkGWehG118_C_1hAxrwSHMgrQ]]> 2016-12-21 01:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144541463 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144541496 A trait that Higgins shows is responsibility. He shows responsibility through with working and teaching Eliza. It takes someone that is willing to take long hours to teach someone how to talk differently, and it was more than likely quite stressful as well. Long hours, different methods, and not giving up shows that Professor Henry Higgins was quite responsible when he was working and teaching Eliza how to talk as a high class lady would. 

Responsibility helps to motivate Professor Higgins because he wishes to win the bet he made against Colonel Pickering. He was to be able to prove that he can completely reteach Eliza Doolittle how to speak and act to be as any high class woman/lady would speak and act. Which it's through that bet, and the need to prove that he is able to do it, Professor Higgins works tirelessly with Eliza with her words and how to act. In the end all his hard work and dedication pays off when he is able to pull her off as a duchess and convince everyone that she was a duchess at the Embassy Ball. ]]> 2016-12-21 01:19:06 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144541496 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144548026 2016-12-21 05:34:59 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144548026 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144548077 The character traits that Colonel Pickering displays are Respect, Caring, and Fairness. He shows respect by giving Eliza the respect and kindness that she deserves. He treated her as a lady despite the fact that she had grown up as a flower girl, which isn't a very high class job. Colonel Picking displays caring because of the fact that he gives her respect and kindness. It shows that he does care even though he treats all women like that. He displays acts of fairness because he doesn't treat her any better than he treats any other women that he knows, he treats her the exact same, which is quite fair. 

All of these traits that Colonel Pickering possesses motivates him him to help Professor Higgins with his project in changing Eliza. He doesn't want Eliza to fail and go back to her poor life, so that shows how the caring trait is pushed for him. He continues to be fair with Eliza though, still making her work hard. And respect motivates him to help her as well. He wants to show what respect is able to do. Which it's stated by Eliza that due to the fact that he treated her so well she had felt like a lady the entire time.]]> 2016-12-21 05:37:00 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144548077 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144548587 https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT1T81EUacSWsDhGQfxxdC67R4Jw0AXgA-u4LoXYixX4ensqhRm]]> 2016-12-21 06:08:11 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144548587 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144548712 This entire play had quite a few different impressions left on me, and a few questions that I still have left unanswered. But overall it was quite enjoyable and entertaining to read. It was hard to understand and read at first since Eliza does speak quite differently compared to what we do. And the author of the play makes sure to make that distinct difference in speaking, so at the beginning of the play it was really hard to understand what Eliza was saying at some points since it could be a multitude of words she is saying. I love that there was a buildup in characters, especially Eliza and Professor Higgins. There is a major difference between the two characters at the beginning of the play, then by the end of it the two of them have both changed quite a bit even though it might not be noticeable as you read it, but if you look at the beginning compared to the end, there is a good difference. I don't like the fact that they leave a mysterious feel to the play. Who does Eliza get with? It's implied that she goes and marries Freddy. But does she ever see Professor Higgins again? Or does she actually go back and be with him? Those are things that we'll never really know since they're not included in the end of the play. But, overall the play is really enjoyable and fun to read! I would give it 4 out of 5 stars if I had to rate it.]]> 2016-12-21 06:15:03 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144548712 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144549326 http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mYhxRCz1NbQ/VByzTUa-qUI/AAAAAAAAaRY/8YelKyVQfPM/s1600/thor%2Bapproves.jpg]]> 2016-12-21 06:38:13 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144549326 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144549460 http://jenniferjensen.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/4stars.jpg]]> 2016-12-21 06:42:36 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144549460 17mirons https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144549465 https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSewX_yxj8ndzsj3mExn9KiqeHWnLNW6MpZ7J6LIkLRzfJNY1oH]]> 2016-12-21 06:42:44 UTC https://padlet.com/17mirons/18mi3jy3xq6k/wish/144549465
