Introduction

Hi, I'm Hannah!  When I have free time and I'm not doing stuff for school I enjoy listening to music. After school I usually have fun with color guard or being a part of the marching band.  In English class this year I enjoyed reading the alchemist.  I have always enjoyed books where the author takes you on a journey with the characters.  I enjoyed the message the Alchemist sent about achieving goals or your personal legend.

Henrik Ibsen was born on March 20, 1828.  In 1868, Henrik Ibsen moved to Germany where he wrote a dolls house.  Growing up he was the oldest of  5 children.  His Father was a great, successful merchant.  While, his mother  painted, played the piano, and  attended the theater.  After problems with his fathers business, his family became poor.  In 1862 Ibsen was forced to move to Italy in exile.   In his final years Ibsen had many strokes so, he was unable to write.  Soon on May 23, 1906 Henrik Ibsen died.  The play a Dolls House could possibly be based on how they went from wealthy to a poverty stricken family and the struggles they faced.
