I Love Pride And Prejudice Essay

Improved Essays
When looking for books I mainly focus on the genres. I am a huge fan of romance novels because they take you somewhere new. Most romance novels are of things you know will never actually happen in real life but you dream of them anyway. To me what makes someones work great is being able to relate to it, if the work is so far out that its complete fallacy then it is hard for me to get into reading it. Being in a place that isn 't real can be nice but I prefer to be able to relate to the works on a person level. Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite works. It’s very relatable on how people perceive others, we judge someone before we truly know them and that stifles our ability to love. On the other hand, I also love paranormal or mystery novels.

I was never really open to speaking, I’m still not, but you have to in this class. Also, I wasn 't really much of a reader of poems or short stories, they just never really appealed to me. I’ve learned to appreciate poems more but some short stories still bother me when they leave you with unanswered questions. I’m not much of a writer, I’ve never really enjoyed it and it stresses me out but I absolutely love to read. I’m hoping that after I graduate I can get a job as a book editor or publisher. The thought of reading manuscripts for the rest of my life actually gives me joy. I’m not much of a writer myself but helping people with their writing seems to come easy to

    These genres deviated from the boring realities of our world. While I did take an interest in reading, the books that my teachers gave me to read were boring, non-fiction, books with no pictures. The lack of readings I did began to have an effect on the way I wrote. It wasn’t until then my teacher decided to introduce to us book reports. We could read any book we wanted and then write we liked and disliked about the book, however it had to be on a level that was suited for us.…

Society has set and shaped standards causing women to have their own type of cultural rules to follow based off of their sexual impurity. When dealing with the same issue concerning men, it’s treated in a different way due to the fact that men had more power and received anything they would demand.…
