Title: Emma
Author: Jane Austen
Publisher: Pearson Education Limited What is love? How can we do to catch our own true love? I found the answer after reading the book, Emma. Emma, which talked about Emma Woodhouse, who is a beautiful, clever but with little spoiled girl. She is rich and she loves arrange marriage between her friends and neighbours in a village called Highbury. Unfortunately, she makes a lot of mistakes and causes many problems on her and her friends. Luckily, everyone, include Emma can find the one they really love at the end of the story.

I think this story is fantastic. Firstly, it happened in the 19th century, which is a classic and romantic age, this book show the living style and culture of early Britain. For example, what they will do when they are in a ball? It really makes me understand more about English culture. Secondly, the main character is great. Emma was really a nice person, she loved to help friend and care about friend so much. The way that she arranged marriage was interesting, this makes me more fascinate in it. However, as she always made mistakes, I was very afraid that she could not marry to Mr. Knightley at the end, I was happy that when I saw they had a happy ending finally. Thirdly, the storyline is very clear. The character is very attractive. I think it can exactly attract me to read. Jane Austen describes the character in a very successful way. It makes me very enjoyable.

However, I think the plots are too plain, and the climate is not obvious, I think the author can highlight one or two events and make the story become more attractive. For example, the scene that Mr. Knightley kissed Emma can be more romantic and express their innermost feeling when before and after kissing. Also, If I were the author, I might change the ending of the story. I might change the pairs such as Emma could not marry to Mr.

    I read the book Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. The story begins in a small town in Sterling, New Hampshire. At the high school, you read about a routine day of students in classes. As a student runs out of class to leave for an orthodontist appointment a loud bang goes off in the parking lot, which turns out to be a bomb set off in Matt's car. The students are confused by the noise and gun shots are fired. Patrick, the only detective on the Sterling police force (which is just stupid to have only one), hears on his radio about the shooting at Sterling High School. Patrick sees several students on the floor, surrounded in blood. The boy is dead and has a gunshot in his head while his girlfriend, Josie wakes up and cant…

    Allyson is the ultimate good girl, but toward the end of a surprisingly boring post-graduation tour of Europe, she makes an impulsive decision to skip the Royal Shakespeare Theatre's Hamlet for a street production of Twelfth Night featuring a striking Dutch actor. The next day, Allyson bumps into the handsome Dutchman, Willem, on a train ride to London, and they strike up a flirtatious banter in which he dubs her Lulu. After their two-hour trip, Willem offers to show "Lulu" around Paris "for JUST ONE DAY," and to her best friend's shock, she agrees. During their intimate day (and night) in Paris together, Allyson lets go of her inhibitions and enjoys taking risks, getting lost in the sights and sounds of a new place, and most of all, falling for this deep and enigmatic guy. But the next morning, Willem is inexplicably gone. Distraught and depressed, Allyson spends the entire following year coming to terms with how whirlwind romance changed the course of her life. Author Gayle Forman has already impressed readers with a moving novel about the difference a day makes, so it's no surprise she's taken the idea and inserted strangers instead of estranged exes as she did in Where She Went. Forman has created in Allyson's story not only the kind of intense 24-hour romance that quickens pulses but also a truly transformative coming-of-age tale that will inspire young women to take the Shakespearean line "to thine own self be true" to heart. By allowing Willem to rename her Lulu (he never learns her real name that night), Allyson starts off acting like a more adventurous spirit but slowly comes to realize she is capable of so much more than meeting her parents' straight-A, pre-med, Ivy League expectations.…

    The title of this book relates to the story, because in the book, Ponyboy and Johnny are "outsiders." They can be thought of as Outsiders because they are labeled Greasers although they do not act like hoodlums, like the rest of the Greasers. They are thought of as Greasers just because they live on the East Side of town, and because they slick back their hair. But Ponyboy and Johnny are different then all of the other Greasers because they show their emotions, and are sensitive.…

    Kody Scott grew up in South Central L.A. during the nineteen-sixties and seventies, soon after the creation of the Crips. Raised in poverty without a father, and a full family raised solely by his mother, Kody Scott led the stereotypical "ghetto" life, a poor and broken home. However he does not blame this on his own personal decision to join the Crips while only eleven year's old. The allure of the respect and "glory" that "bangers" got, along with the unity of the "set"(name for the specific gang) is what drew him into the gang. Once joined, he vowed to stay in the "set" for life, and claimed that banging was his life. After many years of still believing this, he eventually realized that the thug life was no longer for him, and that gangs were a problem on society and the "Afrikan" race(page 382-383).…

    This book, a classic draws many different thoughts and opinions. While I first thought that there were too many characters and too many complications in the book, as the story progressed, I saw how all the characters, plots and storylines fit together perfectly. For example, minor characters such as Wickham, who one would initially think would have no place or is irrelevant to the story, is actually the symbol of the strength of Darcy and Elizabeth's relationship. Instead of using deception to break up the relationship between Darcy and Elizabeth, Wickham actually manages to bring the two closer once the relationship between the two is revealed. Therefore, all the characters add to the complexity and realness of the story. I enjoyed seeing how first all the characters' lives were described and shown and then as I continued to read, I saw how all their lives coincided when the characters interracted. I especially like the twists, such as when Elizabeth has trouble getting to her inlaws' house and she shows up looking disheveled, and how different people have interests in each other which causes controversy between all the characters. There are so many different themes present such as love, deception, trust, etc. I enjoyed how every scene, character, event symbolizes or supports every theme. Marriage is one of the themes present in the book and the characters display different facets of the concept of marriage. Elizabeth and Darcy are an example of a strong relationship since Wickham challenges it and they become a stronger couple. Wickham marries Lydia Bennett and that is not a good marriage, because Wickham is a deceitful, cunning character. There are a lot of opposites present in the novel, such as good and bad, honest and deceitful, love and lust, etc. Many people retreat to marriage for security reasons, such as when the proper marriage will lead you to financial security and social wellbeing. Love and marriage seem to be two completely…

    The cultural context to which we are introduced in the novel 'Emma ' by Jane Austen, is the world of the middle classes in the nineteenth century. In this essay I will look, firstly, at the role of women in this world. I will examine the very limited opportunities a woman had in terms of education and finding a career which would allow her to live an independent life in the world of the novel. Secondly, I will discuss how Austen potrays the importance of social status in the carefully-structured affair of society. Finally, I will examine how marriage worked in Austen 's time. Throughout the novel of 'Emma ' Austen gives us an insight to what her life was like in 1816, which was when the novel was published. In my essay I will explain the cultural context of this novel.…

    Pride and Prejudice

    Personal opinion: I think the narrative style of the book is very old-fashioned, but it is because of that I get the feeling of being in that particular time with the characters. The story is not very exciting to my opinion; because as soon as the most important characters meet each other at the first ball, it is very obvious they will be together at the end of the story. Several people told me the book was very boring and longwinded but I disagree. Although the storyline becomes clear at the beginning, you still keep wondering whether they will be together. The second reason why I can imagine the surroundings so well is that the book gives a very detailed description of the life in England in the 19th century. The book is actually written in that time too, I think the description is therefore quite accurate. I also liked the characters very much. Jane Austen makes them seem so real and alive that it is much easier to understand how they act and how they feel. I especially like Elizabeth Bennet, because she is the most independent and strong character of this book and it is a beautiful process in which she and Mr Darcy have to overcome their prides and prejudices to be together at last.…
