That is mainly due to the distractions of ghosts and her crush Brandon Dunham. Yes, Kendall can see ghosts, but there isn’t really a reason why. Ellie, her best friend, and she work together so that Brandon will finally become a couple with Kendall. However, Daniella also gives advice to Kendall about how to act or initial advice. Kendall is short and has brown hair that is always styled to match her mood. The outfits she wears also compliments her feelings as well. On page 182, Kendall is describing her outfit that she will be wearing to impress Brandon and says “I’m wearing a pair of black skinny jeans, a black and white striped top, black shoes with a low heel, and for a touch of color I borrowed this really amazing shimmery red scarf from Ellie…”. A strength that Kendall has is being brave. Upon trying to find Jen or talk to Brandon, she didn’t act nervous or run away from her problems. However, a flaw that she also has is concentrating.

    Throughout Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, there are some chapters that readers may feel lack information or any plot movement that pertains to the book in a direct way and would like to just pass through those chapters as quickly as possible because those particular chapters are thought of as filler chapters. If there is one thing a reader should take away from studying any Jane Austen piece is that she has a talent to formulate and place events in an appropriate order so that everything that happens throughout the novel fits perfectly together like a puzzle and that she has a rhyme and reason for the information she expresses throughout the book. A particular chapter that should be focused on is Chapter 10 in Volume One. On the first read-through, this chapter seems unimportant based on how it is primarily about writing letters and killing time until Jane Bennet has recovered from the…

    See, when I think of Regency Era books (Or Victorian or Lady-and-Lord books or whatever you call them), it's hard for me to think about women empowerment and girl power. It's not like the times were conducive to women's rights: Women belonged to their husbands and fathers; they had no legal recourse if their 'guardians' were abusive. Furthermore, Pride and Prejudice captured an important truth about society's expectations for the fairer half of nobility: One, they would marry well and two, they would stay pure (read: chaste) until they married. Any women who didn't comply with their rigid expectations of morality and frigidness were marked as "loose women" and "whores". “But it was Eve who was vilified, never the serpent.…
