My first blog post about myself and Henrik Ibsen

Hey guys, my name is Nina Mayrant. I am 15 years old and a sophomore at BHS. I am in Mrs. Santos and Ms. Pettigrew's 7th period English class. I am mixed with Polish and black. As you can see my favorite color is pink. I enjoy working out, food, fashion, and traveling places. What I like about my class is how funny and enjoyable it can be. Also, I liked the stories we have read in class especially "the alchemist". I hope the play Mrs. Santos has told everyone about "A Doll's House'' turns out to be good.

 The author of the famous play "A Doll's House,'' Henrik Ibsen was born on March 20, 1828 in Skien, Norway. He was the eldest out of 5 children, his parents were Knud and Marichen Ibsen. At 15 Ibsen dropped out of school and went to work, he had a position at apothecary in Grimstad and worked there for six years. He loved to paint, read, and perform magic tricks. Ibsen married Marichen Cornelia Martie Altenburg, who was the daughter of a German merchant, in 1825. In Munich in 1879, Ibsen wrote his revolutionary play, A Doll's House. He pursued his interest in realistic drama. Many of his works were published in translation and performed this all over Europe. At the age of 78 Ibsen died suddenly, caused by a stroke that he suffered with.
