grrrr...i have problems posting mine

Hmmm

Well since I wasn't here to read the book I have to say I like Jack because he is different he is not like everyone else so I admire him for being different. I wish I could of gotten to finish the book.

Algeerrnnooooonnnnnnnn

The Importance of Being Earnest is filled with characters we love to hate. Of all the characters in the play, which do you find most likable? Why?

I think Algernon is the most likable because he has a a great sense of humor. He also has a witty my sly feeling to him. He also seems like he has a good head on his shoulder because he wanted to prove Jack a point. i thought it was kind of funny that he ate all the cucumber sandwiches made me kind of think he a little on the chubby side which is okay..

The Importance of Being Earnest is filled with characters we love to hate. Of all the characters in the play, which do you find most likable? Why?
I like Algernon. Even though he seems like a prick, he does it with style. He's witty and funny and always has something quotable. I have a suspicion that he is fat since they keep saying he's always hungry and he ate all the cucumber sandwiches. 

Who do i like more?

The character that I find most likable in the play is Algernon. I think that yeah he might act like silly sometimes he actually has common sense and knows what he is talking about. The rest of the characters not as much like those girls Gwendolen and Cecily who want a guy just for his name.Then there is Jack and he is just lying to people about who he really is and thinks if he gets baptized that he will be able to change his name with out any problem. I mean Algernon I my point of view he is only going bunbary because he want to teach jack a lesson so that Jack can stop doing it because eventually it wil get him in to some real trouble. So thats why I hink Algernon has the most common sense and the other ones just listens to what he says.

Algernon!!!!

I like Algernon I see him as been the main character even though the story/play focuses on Jack the most. He is the comedian and the one that really knows what is going on in the story. He is the clown in the play because he makes fun of marriage with his sarcasm. He has that craziness and daring type of attitude because of how he went to act like he was Mr. Ernest Worthing. Algernon also has a really cool name. I feel like Oscar Wilde made Algernon a bit like him.

Comment on C. Jones

I agree with Chante they do not know how to represent their society at all they just goof around and make up people that don't even exist.

Comment to Karen's

I agree with you Karen the Awesome they focus more on the Sandwiches for his aunt then about marriage. Which is really sad but funny.

why cant i comment >:( ???

Yari: Dont forget about the big fuss about no more cucumbers. Its funny to think that the people who are suppose obey the ways in society make fun of it.


Ciera: the making fun of how everyone is suppose to act is the funny part about it. The purpose of this play is to show how everything back then was so boring and  non changing.

Manners o.O

Importance of Being Earnest is mocking the importance of being mindful with the people of the high class. The two main characters focus more on the small details then they do on the big things like marriage for example. They think that it is more important to focus on the cucumber sandwiches that were order for Lady Brackenel then the importance of Gwedolyn marrying Ernest because of his name without evening knowing how he really is. What's wrong with her and what's wrong with Jack making up a brother named Ernest?

manners...

I think that The Importance of Being Earnest is comedy of manners because basically all that they do is make fun of the way people are supposed to be acting.what I think it means is just making fun of rules and playing around like if nothing is serious.It has been shown in the book already when they say that Lady Bracknell has power, when in reality women could not have any power.Another way that this has been shown is when they don't really talk to each other formally because they call them selves Algy and jack and Ernest or Algernon but they never call each other "Mr"., the only one that has a type of formality is Lady Bracknell because they actually use " Lady". It is shown in everything because they do not take anything seriously not even marriage.

No more cucumbersssss ahhhhhhhhhhh

I think its a comedy of manners because the play makes fun of the way people are suppose to act and mostly do the opposite. Just like they worry about the tiny stuff instead of the bigger ones like cucumbers. Then they don't want to go to any parties because they know exactly what will happen and its boring.

Earnest

The Importance of Being Earnest is a comedy of manners because the way that it mocks the behavior of the characters especially since they are rich. It's been shown through the play in the way that Jack makes up a brother that is ill and then says that he is that he will tell Cecily that he died. The way that they argue about the smallest things like the cucumber sandwiches. 

. . .

It's bn funny because they are rich but yet if the daughter wants to get married she ha to know the guys name. Who cares about the name. It's not going to kill anyone. And what's soooo important about those dumb cucumber sandwiches. Its funny how they are rich and all the do is sit around bother people or make fun of others. They should do something useful. Ugh they get me mad yet it's still funny.

...

This is a comedy of manners because it's a mockery of how upper class people live. All the characters talk about is irrelevance. They don't care about the important things in life. They talk about cucumber sandwiches and how the most important thing about a man is his name. What?! That doesn't sound right at all. Everything is so backwards in this play, that's what makes it funny. You have these wealthy people who sit around with nothing to talk about nothing because they have nothing better to do.

Comedy of Manners :)

How is The Importance of Being Earnest a "comedy of manners"? What does this mean? How has it been shown in the play already?

This play is comedy of mannrs type play becuase it makes fun of the society that is going on around them. The two main characters are the ones who are suppose to represent their society as one of the greatest. they do not have to do much, they are super wealthy. They make fun of the manner that go around like for example the whole marriage situation they did not take it very serious but they sure were serious about those cucumber sandwhiches that were eaten. It's like the author of the play is trying to prove a point in a wity but clever way.

What's so honest about being Earnest?

How is The Importance of Being Earnest a "comedy of manners"? What does this mean? How has it been shown in the play already?

Well, I think that it has been funny because the characters are pretty much making fun of the way society is during that period of time. The two main characters both represent the "manners" that are expected from the rich people who have nothing else to do than stay home, eat, sleep and bother other people. They take mostly everything as a joke, specially marriage. They think life is a joke as a whole, and like they could get everything they want because they are rich, and do not know how to appreciate the things they have and that others don't. So, far, is like a play making fun of society. (forgot the formal word for this).

How is The Importance of Being Earnest a "comedy of manners"? What does this mean? How has it been shown in the play already?
It's a comedy because it basically makes fun of the rich and what their opinions of manners really are. Things that are important like marriage aren't while eating cucumber sandwiches that are meant for someone else is very frowned upon. Comedy of Manners is another way of saying the way that they make fun of a person's Manners, Like they do with the rich people in the book. It has been shown in several ways. For example I mentioned earlier that Alge got pissed off because jack wanted to eat a cucumber sandwich. Pretty messed up if you asked me. I have a suspicion that he's fat too.

Written by this wild guy :D

How is The Importance of Being Earnest a "comedy of manners"? What does this mean? How has it been shown in the play already?

Well in my opinion this is a comedy that makes fun of the manners that were expected by the people in society at the time Wilde wrote about it. The way this is shown in the play is by intentionally picking out some of the things that people were expected to follow for example, the way marriage was thought about, in those times people believed of marriage as a business and that hardly anyone would marry because of they were in love rather because they needed to find someone that would support them financially. Another way that Wilde makes fun of the way people needed to act was by the way he allows his characters to act, these characters are extremely foolish and could be thought of as crazy man that have nothing better to do but case one another for a cigarette box. The Importance of Being Earnest demonstrates how men in those times were spoiled little brats that had nothing to worry about and had enough money to get anything that they wanted and were maintained by their family members, this to the poor might seem very funny but those that actually decided to live that way might take it as an offense. Many are not fond of those that make fun of their way of life and that might be the reason why many did not like Wilde.

What did you think of the movie? What connections did you see between the movie and the novel? What is the movie saying about independence?

I liked the movie even though we should of watched pride and prejudiced! I enjoyed seeing the comparison of the two and how she wrote about what she could relate to. I noticed how Mr lefroy was a butthole at first and so was Mr. Darcy. Also how Lydia was similar to Jane sister in the movie. How Mr Lefroy and Jane were going to run off like Lydia and Wickham did. The movie is saying that independence if scarce but it is impossible if you are strong enough to take of yourself as a women. Many people dont approve of it but it is possible

To people in movie: "Why you no dieee?"

the movie was ok it was not dark knight, but it was interesting some parts were really funny. It was sorta annoying when the class went AWWWW to some parts. they were lots of connections i would call them out during the movie, i guess Jane wrote the story based on her life just made it happier at the end. The end was ehhh if Jane really did love that dude she should gone with him then figure out about the family later. It not toms fault the family is suffering... OH WELLL The book and the movie promoted Independence sorta but saying that it isn't easy so watch out.

Becoming Jane...

I loved the movie very much. Thank you! I didn't like the ending much because it wasn't what I expected, but it was still a really good movie. Pretty much every part of the movie was a part in Pride and Prejudice. The walk: which symbolizes independence, Jane's family and Lizzy's family. Also, most of the characters from the movie are in the book. The movie was being realistic of how it would work out for independent women like Jane. It would not be the fantasy that Jane lived in Pride and Prejudice. The book's events do happen in the real life back then, but the ending wouldn't be the same, because that's reality.

Becoming Jane!!

What did I think of the movie? Well only that it is the best movie on Jane Austens life! I enjoyrd watching this movie because it is such a romantic/sad movie that makes people like me cry. This movie allowed me to see how harsh womens lives were back then. It also got me really mad because Jane was not able to marry the man she loved. Yet even after they seperated he showed her how much he still loved her by naming his first daughter Jane! Well there were also a lot of similarities in this movie and Pride and Prejudice. Jane reminded me of Elizabeth anf her pride but she also thought more of others lives than her owns, she could not be with Lefroy because his parents would no longer recieve the money he was getting from his uncle. Lefroy also had a drastic change just like Darcy did in the book. I also believe that Jane wrote her ending the way she did because of how her and her sister felt about evrything that was happening in the family for example Jane not being able to be with Lefroy and Cassandras future husband to have died. This movie in my opinion was showing how women were able to be independant on their own. The perfect example that demonstrates that is Jane she never married. Jane became a very famous writer even if she did not have the man she "needed".

What did you think of the movie? What connections did you see between the movie and the novel? What is the movie saying about independence?

I though that the movie was super cute! Even thought Jane did not get married with the guy she loved she did have the honor of Mr. Lefroy naming his daughter after her which was super adorable! I still think we should have seen Pride and Prejudice.

The connections I saw where the ones between Jane and Elizabeth, they are exactly alike. They both have a witty, smart, and stubborn attitude. It is too bad that their stories did not end the same way. :(
Also the connection between Mr. Lefroy and Mr. Darcy, besides both being extremely adorable, they are also gentlemen except one of them is poor and one is rich.

Independence is great!

Mr. Lefroy you can take me home tonight ;D

Becoming Jane was a pretty awesome movie. I keep on confusing Jane for Elizabeth! La! How strange! :D
So Sara, Lisa, and I were discussing which characters where whom in Pride and Prejudice and Austen's real life. This are our results:

Jane Austen: Lizzy! They have the same witty attitude.

Jane Bennet: Austen's sister. They are both sweet and kind.

Mr. Darcy: This was a tough one. At first, we thought that he was Mr. Darcy but then we saw that Mr. Lefroy was similar to Mr. Wickham too but then Again Mr. Wisley was rich and mysterious like Mr. Darcy as well. We decided that Mr. Darcy was a combination of Mr. Lefroy and Mr. Wisley.

Lady Catherine: Basically a given, she is Mr. Wisley's aunt.

Mary/Lydia: That one annoying girl singing in the piano in the beginning of the movie.

A lot of the events that occurred in Pride and Prejudice actually happened in Austen's life. Stuff like the elopement. I did not know that she almost ran away with Mr. Lefroy. Independence comes with a high cost.

Becoming Jane..............

The movie Becoming Jane was good. I like the ending especially because the one she wanted to be with he named his daughter Jane which was so cute. There were many connections to the book and the movie like for an example the one who wanted to marry her said "It is a truth universally acknowledged" that quote opens up the book of pride and prejudice. Another connection to the book was jane and tom run away and in the book lydia and wickham run away. The movie is saying about in dependence is you have to do the right things even it means you going to be alone

It is a truth universally acknowledged...............

I really liked the movie. The guy who played Tom Lefroy was too cute haha. Anyway, it has a lot of connections to the book. For example, the title of my post is the very first line of the book, and in the movie the guy she was supposed to marry said it when they were walking and talking. That's where she got the line from. Another connection to the book was when Jane and Tom ran away, Lydia and Wickham ran away. Another connection was walking. There was lots of walking in the movie as well as in the book. And there's a lot more connections I can't think of right now. The movie is saying that you don't need a husband to be financially stable and to be happy.

- Ciera.

[INSERT CLEVER TITLE HERE]

What did you think of the movie? What connections did you see between the movie and the novel? What is the movie saying about independence?
I liked the movie, I wanted to know if I can borrow it actually. There were various connections between the Novel and the book like the personalities of the characters. Jane is obviously Elizabeth, They both play the piano, share the same opinions about a lot of things, speak in an intelligent manner, and both believe that they should only get married with someone who they actually love. The movie basically said that if you want to marry someone, don't marry them for the money. don't marry them if you feel like you won't be happy. If you can't find that then you will be fine on your own, if you make the effort. Yeah.

Jaaaaaaane! o.o

Soooo the movie about Jane Austen was awesome! Not only was Tom Lefroy insanely hot, but the story was so interesting. It was so similar to Pride and Prejudice i the sense that Austen seemed to have written it as the happy ending for her life. She mixed and created characters out of people in her life, including Mr. Wisley, her sister, and her parents. The economical situation was the same also. As she says in the movie about her book, to her sister, that too many extraordinary women are born into such low social classes. Which makes them seem worth less. There were so many connections, like how Mr. Wisley and the nice lovable side of Lefroy are Mr. Darcy. The bad sie of Lefroy is Wickham, and how he was going to take Jane on an elopement was what happened to Lydia. SO many connection! the movie says that independence is important, to Jane Austen it was everything. she admired independence more than love itself. As much as she wanted a happy ending, love could not be the answer to a perfectly happy life in her situation.

:)

Becoming Jane

I really enjoyed the movie. It shows how the book Pride and Prejudice came to be and why. It helped us understand Jane Austen a bit more. The connections between the movie and the book as very similar. The mothers only goal was to get her daughters married. In order for either Jane or Elizabeth to get married had to be because of love and nothing else. Not even the money was important to them. In the movie Jane decides to run away and in the book Lydia runs away. The movie is saying that being independent is good and that you can actually be successful without having someone on your side.

comment for ciera

yea she was full of herself that she was hiding how she felt but she expressed them in the wrong way.

WHATS WRONG WITH THIS (comment on jaM'ya)

and also that lizzy is the main character in the book she wants to show people that lizzy can show people who might have pride to not let it get to your head

I CANT FEEL MY LEGS!

According to austen i think she says anyone can be lizzy but it has its consequnces. In the book Lizzy has too much pride that she c ant see the world around her like it really is. Her pride makes her almost blind when she was asked by Darcy to marry her, instead of talking about how she feels and that she was hurt by Darcy because of the situation with Jane she pushed him away. It was until after reading the letter she knew the real story but because of her pride it could be too late. Anyone can be Jane but don't let so much pride get to your head that it makes to blind to the truth.

Jane or Liz?

Austen make it seem that been a Liz is good. We see this through out the book because Jane admires her and Liz admires herself as well. She is the main character and has a stronger personality than Jane. I think that Liz has some traits similar to Austen. Liz is very strong minded, independent, and outspoken. She is not like the other characters she does her own thing. Since she is very independent women want to be like that they do not see why they should get married. Women of today can do and become whatever they want. They do not need a man. Thats why I would like to be like Liz and other people would to.

I would say Elizabeth. Because she has pride and looks at what others don't. Also because she's more independent and does things on her own. Her walking by herself shows that she independent. Jane on the other hand is Just nice and doesn't seem do independent herself. She just wants to marry Bingley and that is it. So I would go with Elizabeth.

JANE I mean ELIZABETH.! JUST READ IT>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I say Elizabeth because both the author and Elizabeth want to find love before getting married. Neither of the ladys just want a marriage they want the key thing to holding on the marriage, which is LOVE. I also believe its Elizabeth because she is THE MAIN CHARACTER and alot of stuff revolves around her. Think about the whole Jane and Bingly thing, and how it got to Elizabeth and Darcy had to apologize in his letter. It all because its better to be Elizabeth. Look at the change that she is in now. She started off feelinging herself, and everytime she seen Darcy she always bring up the past and tell him what he did wrong. Then slowly she started to realizeher pride was getting in the way of her life, and love, and the first step to change is admting it and she did that. Don't get me wrong through she has a huge sense of independence but with Darcy he might can help trust and rely on other peopl a little more. So I think Jane Austen would like us to be Elizabeth and not Jane. lol

Lizzy! :)

According to Austen, is it better to be a Jane or an Elizabeth? Give evidence to support you answer.

It is better to be more like Elizabeth. I say this because the book is based on Elizabeth, she is the main character. Austen just wants to show how women need to grow and learn from different situation. She gives Elizabeth a personality that almost every women can relate to. She also puts her in situations that most women can relate to. Elizabeth is amazing she is just stands up for what she believes and doesnt let anyone change her. Austnen portraying her to learn and accept new things is her saying she wants people to be more like Elizabeth.

Jane or Elizabeth? Hmm....

According to Austen, is it better to be a Jane or an Elizabeth? Give evidence to support you answer.

I think Austen is telling her readers to be more like Elizabeth because through out the book we see Elizabeth growing into a better person. Where she was this girl who always judge people before she actually get to know them. Now later on in the book she has less pride where she is seeing people for them and seeing why they do the things they do. Especially with Darcy she didn't like him at all at first and when she started to be around more and more when Jane was sick she seen the real him and thinks he is a good guy. Elizabeth hated the fact that Jane is thinks everyone is innocent but she is realizing that you just can't judge and recognize he pride.

I'm on the edge.... Of glory. lalala..

In the book, Elizabeth went thru a whole little phase. In the beginning up to about chapter 35, she was so full of herself. She always brought up things from the past, even worse, in front of people. She obviously likes attention. But she doesn't want to show off her true colors. She kept her feelings to herself. But one thing about her is that she makes her own decisions, she walks alone; that shows her independence. I'm not saying she makes the best decisions tho. Anyway, she changed dramatically. Ever since she sunk in that letter from Darcy, she's let go of some of her pride. SOME. She became more considerate of others opinions. She told Jane about the letter, but left out the part about Bingley. Why? She didn't want to see her sister hurt. With these changes and stuff Elizabeth had, I think Austen is saying it's better to be her.

Ciera.

Elizabeth

I believe that Austen determines that it's better to be Elizabeth. Many of the reasons are found through out the book, but the main one I found was the fact that ELIZABETH is the main character of this book. If Austen had thought that being Jane was better than being Lizzy, she would have chosen Jane as the main character and she didn't. Other proof is that knowing the pride Lizzy has, we know that she will break a guy even if cold as Dracy. The character Lizzy represents is strong, independent and full of pride, meaning that it will be really hard for Lizzy to get hurt.
P.S HAPPY B-DAY KAY-CEE!!

Took me this long to find out you can change color..

According to Austen, is it better to be a Jane or an Elizabeth? Give evidence to support you answer.

I think that Austen is trying to show the readers that it would be best to be an Elizabeth, but If one were to act like her, He/she should look out and keep from being too prideful like the way that Elizabeth is acting. It would make sense to me that Austen would lean more towards Elizabeth because she is the main Character in the book. I also think that She says we should look out for the personality issues or problems that Elizabeth Has to deal with. 


Side note: I find it odd that Austen has a lot of similarities with Elizabeth but the person opposite from them was given the name Jane As in her name.

Is the cup half empty or half full?? O.o

According to Austen I think being an Elizabeth is better than being a Jane. The reason behind this logic is that Elizabeth is very similar to Austen. For example, neither Elizabeth nor Austen will not marry unless is for love . According to the notes Ms. Noonan provided, Austen was a very feminist character that did not want to marry just for the fact that there was no love and the man whom she loved did not have a good social status. Elizabeth   did the same, she would not marry Mr. Collins because she felt no love towards him even though it was an excellent business deal. Except that the man she loves (even if she wont admit it) has a higher social standard than Elizabeth has. Both Elizabeth and Austen faced the same problem in their lives. 

Elizabeth.

Elizabeth is definitely supposed to be Jane Austen's favorite.

Why else would she be the main character? She made her the strong, prideful, and beautiful woman that everyone wants to be. Yes, Jane is beautiful and nice but not everyone wants to be nice to everyone and just live with what is given to you. Elizabeth is the character that Jane Austen made that is proud of herself (for the most part) and has flaws that are almost attractive. They are obviously attractive to Mr. Darcy, since he cant stay off of her. Point is, Elizabeth is someone we wish we could be. Someone that has a strong character and can stand up for herself. Yes, she is going through tough times in the book currently. BUT, she seems to heading into a good direction. Elizabeth is the team i'm going for.

Is Mrs. Bennet a third option...lol

According to Austen, is it better to be a Jane or an Elizabeth? Give evidence to support you answer.

(I am stuck in the middle)...I really do not know who is better. Every person has their own thoughts and make the actions for a reason. Jane is nice and sweet BUT she just agrees with everything and does what she is told too. For example with her mom, Jane obeys her and went to Mr. Bingley's house. At the same time it is not good to be Jane because she does not see the bad side of life. Jane does not see the danger that can happen and lives in a fantasy world were everything and everyone is nice.

Elizabeth on the other hand is more of judging people without knowing their reasons or knowing that person. Elizabeth is more on the real world were she knows their are problems and people who lie. She is no sweet girl that can easily get convince right away like Jane.

From Elizabeth and Jane I cannot choose who is better because both have personalities that are to much. For example Jane is to sweet and Elizabeth is just a girl who has anger inside of her and judges people before knowing what really happened.

Jane Elizabeth

I believe that it is better to be a combination of both Jane and Elizabeth. I agree with wanting to a Jane because she is nice and sweet and does not like to judge people which is a very nice thing of her to do. Elizabeth likes to be more judgmental and look at everything negative which is not a good thing to do. Too much of anything is bad for a person so I believe that it is better to be half and half not too nice and think that the world is full of rainbows and butterflies we also have to some of the bad things that exist in the world. So in my opinion I think I would try to be both a Jane Elizabeth because Jane Austen tends to describe both characters equally. She shows how Elizabeth admires Jane and Jane admires Elizabeth.

Could it be both??

According to Austen, is it better to be a Jane or an Elizabeth? Give evidence to support you answer.

I am not so sure what side to take because even though Austen has Elizabeth as a main character there are decisions that she takes that are not the best ever. The title of this book is Pride and Prejudice but I think it is done this way so the reader can see how people in society can connect to sometimes being prideful or prejudicial. Elizabeth through the book shows a severe case of pride, but Austen justifies her attitude with her emotions being hurt and how Elizabeth fights for what she thinks is right and with what ever goes with her morals. Austen on the other hand also shows that being a Jane is not always a bad thing, Jane is highly liked by everyone by the decisions she takes in life and the way she decides to live it. Being a Jane to the author back then meant you will get a man with money that will support you financially and you will have the good life you deserve. It is sometimes hard to tell if Austen agree more with Elizabeth than Jane but there are other times when the distinction is obvious. In the middle of chapter 36 Elizabeth is recalling on the letter that Darcy wrote to her and she feels like she has been played and is not willing to accept the fact that a man like Darcy proposed to her and write her a letter explaining all that had happened she also creates a blindfold for herself to prevent her from admitting the fact that she has also fallen in love with Darcy. Austen is trying to let the reader know that there are time when you have to let your pride aside like Jane always does but there are also times when you have to neglect what everyone says and believe that the only thing that is right is what ever you say. Austen also shows that being like Jane can cause you great suffering since Bingley suddenly left her, since Jane did not have the guts to tell him why he left she was never mentioned the real truth of why he left. Jane being so kind and believing of everything Miss. Bingley said was also created a blindfold but this time from someone else.

Comment on C. Jones and Yari's post

C. Jones: I like how you mention that Elizabeth was too prideful to think about what others would think, and about the future. I agree that, that was the reason why she did not marry Mr. Collins.

Yari: I also agree with you in how it was and was not such a good idea in not marrying Mr. Collins, I believe that she was only thinking about her morals rather than her future.

What I think is ...

After Lizzy rejects Mr. Collins makes me feel that she has done the right thing. I mean I wouldn't want a guy like that either. I also think that if I were in her place and was written an essay for a proposal I would have fallen a sleep. :D I dont really admire Lizzy i think she did the right thing because she didn't like Mr. Collins and she was annoyed by him. Imagine a life with a person you dont like and don't get well with that annoys you. I think i would personaly kill my self if like i detested the person I was married with that is why I think Lizzy did the right thing because she would have a stable economic life but would be very misrable. I think I am fustrated with lizzy because she doesn't know what she wantes and doesn't want to admit what she wants in the inside. I think Im only fustrated with the fact that she is stuburn and just has too much pride to be able to get along with Mr. Darcy.

i don't really have an opinion........... idc lol.

After Lizzy dissed Collins, I was like ok. She obviously doesn't care about business and being financially stable. She obviously is the type of person who thinks that marrying the person you love is right, not marrying somebody because he or she has money. Plus, they're freaking cousins. They are related. They have the same blood running through their veins. Idc if they're second cousins. They still family. That's gross. On the other end, I guess turning him down was the wrong choice (BACK IN THAT TIME PERIOD).

Ciera,

I bought a lollipop eraser :D ~~!

When mr Collins asked her and lizzy asked I was like eh I knew that would happen. I was like ooooo girlll who just made a mistake how will you survive!? No one wants a women working only in the house. The only way she will survive is by getting a husband, I see why her mom was mad at her, that would've been the only chance she might get. It would be alright for her to reject someone in the present but the time is different, there's a slim chance of getting a husband for her if she keeps up with her pride geez...

Totally Lizzy:)

I think Elizabeth made the right decision by not marry Mr. Collins because its just gross and thats her cousin. I love Elizabth personality she is so different. Elizabeth is a independent woman who really don't need man. But in this time period she has to to get marry in order to be secure for life. I would love to see her marry Mr. Darcy because they would be good together.

Totally lizzy

YEA GO LIZZY!!!!

I admire Elizabeth. I think it was a good thing that she said no. She is really brave to turn a wealthy man down. She does not care what people think about her. She is more o a reality person and does not always see the bad in people.She just tries to see who they are. She's very independent and does things for her own being. It's also a good thing that she rejected him because he's always bragging about himself and thinking that he's the best. She can find someone better who is not related to her and one who will not jump from liking Jane to her. She's better off alone then with Mr. Collins!!!

Ummmmmmm I Dare To Stand Out So MAybe I'm not mad or Maybe I Am You have to Read n See :) :)

At fist I was mad at Elizabeth because I didn't understand why wouldn't she do it for the money. Then I though about it and I pondered, and I realized that she might end up in love. She could have said yes, and taken a chance at not being in love, hurting, miserable etc; but she didn't. Instead she wanted to be free. And when we read we notice how smart she is and we realizes tat she think things out for the MOST PART. So deep down she probbly know that she is attracted to Darcy and she just want to be PROUD (PRIDE) and not admit or better yet, not face the fact. So the first I read it yeahI was frustrated but as I kept going along it was like she might be doing what's best for her. I do admire Elizabeth to an extent. I admire her pride, and her always talking and placing her opinons, she reminds me of me just a little. So my finale answer is I WAS frustrated but I'm NOT ANYMORE.


What do you think? Commenttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)

Lizzy!

When Elizabeth rejected Mr. Collin I was like "YAYYY!!!!" He is a creep and she stood up for what she believed in. She didnt love him so why marry him? Some people may be frustrated with her because she missed out on a business deal, but her PRIDE took over, it is what it is. I'm glad she didnt agree to marry because now i feel like she is going to becomecloser to falling in love with DARCY!!!!!!! Elizabeth & Darcy! <3 #TeamDarcy! lol

*Looks deep into your eyes*....* and then smacks her!!!! >.>

Looking at the information provided from the time period in which the plot of this book takes place I think Elizabeth is, excuse my grammar, soooooooooooooooo sooooooooooooo STUPID!!!!! She had a good business deal and anyone in the right mind would have taken the proposal. She could have lived in her fathers house taking care of her other unmarried sisters but nooooo she chose what she thinks is love (which we all know she does not love Mr. Jerkface I mean Wickham). I think she should have taken the deal since she claims she hates Mr. Darcy.

-Just because I think she should have taken the deal does not mean that I wanted her to. I want her to marry Mr. Darcy! :D<3

Poor Elizabeth :(

After Elizabeth rejects Mr. Collins' proposal, what is your response? Do you admire Elizabeth? Are you frustrated by her? Explain.

My response for this nonsense is that in my 2012 version I am extremely happy that she did not accept his request because he is a %^*&^# liar because he told Elizabeth that he fell liked her when he first came in. The truth is that he liked Jane first but as soon as he found out that she was already looking into being with Mr. Bingley he stopped wanting to be with her.
My response in my 1800 version is that she was stupid and I want to kick her behind because if she would have married him she would have been economically stable in the future. Mainly because Mr. Collins was going to take over the house, Elizabeth could not put her pride to the side and think about how she was going to benefit form her marrying him. In a way I am frustrated with her because things are not flowing her way because she does not allow them to, and I do admire her but in my 2012 version since she thinks she does not need a man by her side to be happy and successful in life.

^.~

Yay!!!!

Finally, I have hopes that Lizzy and Darcy are going to end up together.

After she denied Collins I was like "Yay, you go Lizzy! Nwow FALL IN LOVE WITH DARCY!"

I believe that this shows that she wants to be able to have what she wants, not what other peeple want for her. She kind of knows that her mother does this for her own good, but she expects something else, different.

I also believe that she makes a great coulple with Darcy, because they have so many things in common, even if they don't see it. Also, Lizzy being the way she is, is the main reason why Darcy got attracted to her after not talking and not liking her. This means that He likes the way she is because she is DIFFERENT than other girls are.

^.~ (oh yeah)

^.^ (so cute)

*.* (Darcy's face when he thinks of Lizzy)

Lizzy<3Darcy

It was expected.

I thought she would have declined. I'm not shocked or mad at her. In a way she would have done what any other modern lady would have done if she did not like the man who asked to marry her. But in a way she did make a bad mistake because she isn't in our time. She is at a point of history where marriage is the only way for a woman to survive without having to beg, become a maid, or just stay home. And she might not have another chance to get married again. Mr. Darcy is too stubborn to "marry someone below his social status" And we have not heard news from Mr. Whickham (How ever you spell his name) So yeah...

Thats what she said. xD

I think that Elizabeth saying no to Mr.Collin shows that she is a strong and independent girl. The only thing is that in this time period marriage is the only way for a women to be financially stable. Elizabeth might also like Mr.Wickham but we do not know much about him, and if he does not propose to her then she is going to have to keep looking for a husband. I think she should have accepted the proposal. I do admire Elizabeth because she knows what she wants and does what she feels is right. I am not really frustrated with her because I think she will get another proposal by someone we least think of proposing to her.

Go Lizzy!!!!

My impression was that Elizabeth could care less about what people think about her and her thoughts upon marriage. It was not that shocking that she rejected Mr. Collins proposal because Elizabeth seems like the type of person that never cares what others tell her. Even though Elizabeth wouldn't get a proposal like that again I think she did good.

I effin' love Lizzy :D

Duuuuuuuude, I love Elizabeth because she stands up for what she wants to do and it shows how independent she is. If i lived in the time of this book, I would definitely be like her and stand up for myself in wanting to only marry someone I love. She might seem stubborn and annoying to some people, but i admire how much she speaks the truth. I have read the book before so I know what happens, which probably influences my perspective on her at the moment. (who knows! :O) She is awesome and Mr. Darcy, her father, and Jane are the only ones who see her perspective. She has yet to discover so much.

Brave Woman

After Elizabeth rejects Mr. Collins' proposal, what is your response? Do you admire Elizabeth? Are you frustrated by her? Explain.

I love Elizabeth!!!!! and also admired her. She is totally but totally different from all her crazy sisters because she really does not care about marrying a rich guy like her mother is doing with Jane. Only because Mr. Collins has money does not mean that she needs to marry him but that proves that not every woman have to follow that tradition of finding a man who has alot of properties and ($$$cachin cachin$$$. On the other hand I do not think Elizabeth is ready to get marry and start to have a family. Elizabeth is a person who speaks up and I think she still does not want to have responsibilities and have to worry about what man her daughters are marrying like her mother in the future.

I also think love should be involved in a marriage because then if Elizabeth marries Mr. Collins then they are going to be like Mr. and Mrs. Bennet that do not have communication and does not care about each other.

But...in that time woman did not have many choices. Woman were dependent by their brothers, and fathers. If both of them died...the third choice comes which is marry a rich guy in order to have a house were to live. Which it SUCKS!!!! anyways the good think things are wayyyyy different in these days.

This Week's Assignment

By 6 P.M. on Sunday, January 29, you must post a response to the following question:

After Elizabeth rejects Mr. Collins' proposal, what is your response? Do you admire Elizabeth? Are you frustrated by her? Explain.

In addition, you must comment on two of your classmates' entries.

Since we're being honest here...

I do my weekly essays two nights before it's due, or the night before it's due. The process is: read the prompt, read the poem/story/whatever, TRY to see how it goes with the question, then I just contemplate on what to write about. Writing a thesis statement is probably the hardest thing for me. Another thing is we cannot use first person, which is also hard for me. Those are my problems. ANOTHER thing is, sometimes, these essays don't even reach 3 pages. Once it's explained already, there's nothing more to say; and a lot of times, that's done in a page and a half to 2 pages. I agree with Buzo when she said they should be every TWO weeks. It makes life much easier, you know, unless you want to kill us all.

Ciera.

Ehh...

I do the weekly essays as and blogs as i go along, to be honest. I'm a disorganized person in a way, but it's hard for me to actually do things planned. I don't like planning. The ideas come to me as i go along.

The essay's

Essay's are not my most favorite things. I start of by reading the assignment at least twice. Secondly, I try to find out what the author's used (ex: Imagery). Thirdly, I make an outline, that way I know what I am going to type. Forth, I start writing my essay on thursday. That is not the best idea. Fifth, I send it to my email so the next day I can print it out. Sixth, I print it out in the morning at school. My thesis statement I started it after I finished reading the assignment.

I Do Mine LikeThis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do my weekly essay the night before. My last to essay's I did was done the day of. I don't really remember about it until that Thursday anyway. My thinking process is kind of simple. I think about my thesis statement, and sometimes I find that to be the hardest pat. I need a technique to find a good thesis statement. After I find one I make my introduction a little simple to understand because I know that my conclusion has to be very similar to it. Then I do my body paagraphs and I'm done. Oh but while I'm typing my paper I keep it in a smaller font and i make it size 11 so once I double space, Times New Roman, and 12 it I'll atleast have 1 and half pages.

Hmmm Weekly Essay

When I do my weekly essay I read my question over so i know what question i need to answer then i start to read the poem or short story a couple of times to really understand the main point of the reading. The next thing i do is start on my thesis statement and rereading it over making sure its good i always include the name of the poem or story and the author name. Then I start written my paper breaking it down in each paragraph and explaining why i chose is quote. Then to finish it off i end my paper with a conclusion.

ESSAYS FUN FUN FUN :D

Well writing essays has its good things and bad things, how about we start with the bad and point out some of the problems I encounter while writing these weekly essays: To begin with I have a hard time understanding what the author is trying to say, mainly if this is a poem we are talking about. The next problem I have is taking a side after I interpret the authors main points, this is always critical when writing an essay since you have to be able to back up what ever you decide is most reasonable. Another bad thing is that I am very tired to process things into my brain at the very last minute so I have an extremely hard time expressing my opinions on a Thursday at 11am :p maybe that is the reason why I never get my full points but we will never known. Enough about the bad things lets talk about the good, if you write essays you expand your knowledge, you can become better at your social skills, it will eventually prepare you for college. Writing essays will also allow you to know how to respond to any situation, not only that but it will help to support it as well. Your teacher will tell you if your good/ smart enough to go to college. Well I am done with that part the next part is explaining step by step how all of this good stuff works:

STEPS:

1. Read the title and make inferences as to what it might be about
2. Read the passage
3. If I did not understand it I have to read it again
4. Think of a good thesis statement, and a couple of literary terms or figurative language that the author uses to express his or her argument
5. Write down my introduction
6. Write my body according to the literary terms that I came up with
7. Have to write the body using reasons as to why I think the whole thing makes sense
8. Write down the conclusion pretty much just restating my thesis and giving another extra info on the passage
9. Save it and send it to my email
10. CHARGE MY PHONE AND GIVE MY THUMBS A BREAK!
11. Wake up at 5 AM go to school print it out and hope Ms. Noonan understands where I am coming from or my nonsense and gives me a reasonable grade :p

Wont LET me comment on KANDY'sss booooo

danggg sounds so smart kandy XD
I GO TO THE BATHROOM TO :O!!!!
i wish i knew the shortcuts to typing like to save copy paste oh welll~~

welll... i like to start 2 days before to have a page done(Im not the greatest writer) but if not I give myself a time limit for the paper so I can do more fun stuff later
I read the paper thing again because I don't get it the first time
then I decide what the poem or story tried to say and start to type
I take lots of mini breaks because I get really bored
I start out in single space, then i turn it into double space
music helps alot when I'm writing gets my mind jumping i like to listen to kpop :3
and hopefully my sister isn't watching cheerleader movies ick! cause i cant think with her dancing >.>
Then finally its at the end and im done by like 9pm so cant do anything else poo...gotta go to bed
the end!

Weekly "tire-ish" Essays

I use the process of intro, body: sentences topics, and conclusion. I first look for the proof the argument is asking me for. I looke for literature terms used on the poem/passage by the author and use it as examples to prove the argument. I develope my thesis statement by using my proof of the argument and include the author's and poem/passage's name in it. Problems that I frequently encounter are that I most of the times cannot explain the quote I chose as how it's an example of my literary terms. I also find it hard to prove my point without summarizing what the quote is saying.

Weekly essays!>:/

I personally don't like doing weekly essays. I think we should have these essays due every two weeks that way we wont be so stressed out. Either way i know i still have to do them...Unfortunately. So some of the ways I prepare to do the weekly essays is first, i read the essay and whatever the question is we have to answer, just so that i can get a good idea. After that i start typing the actual essay on a wednesday. The fist part for me is the hardest! Coming up with a thesis statement is what i kind off struggle with. Its sometimes difficult to come up with athesis statement that is short and to the point. This is what throws me off and sometimes my essay doesn't come out so good. But getting started early and not the day before its due really does help out a lot:)

Comment on Vane's Post

Vane you probably should at least read the prompt when it is handed to us that way your not rushing to do all your other homework and essay in one night. Reading the prompt ahead of time also allows you to have an idea of what you will be writing. You should doing an outline ahead of time that may help a lot.

Weekly Essays -_____-

The process that I use when I'm writing my weekly essay is I first read the passage that is assigned to us. As I write I usually tend to highlight key ideas points that I find to be very important and that would make great references once I have chosen my sub-topics. I reread the question that has to be answered in my prompt at least twice to have in mind the topics that would suit the question best. Problems that I frequently encounter are not knowing literature terms I could use while writing my essay; for example using the terms like hyperbole, personification, etc. to go into detail of my essay.

Whatis it like when worlds collide????? O:

Hello, this is the process I go through every time I do an essay:

1. Read the question and highlight what the question ACTUALLY asks. (That way you answer the right question)
2. Actually read the article (I know surprising O:)
3. Highlight anything important (So you don't forget)
4. Go to pandora/ Play some music (helps to get my ideas flowing :D)
5. Stare at my screen for 5min trying to figure out what to do or how to start.(O_O)
6. Go to the bathroom (lol nature calls :P)
7.  Start typing single spaced (with my fingers O: lol)
8. Type about a page and a half (because I'm cool haha :P)
9. Click Ctrl+2 to make paper double space. (it'll be about 3pgs long double spaced)
10. Save the paper with a random name (Ex: booo Eng)
11. Email it or save it on flash drive. (make sure to attach file)
12. YAY! You are done! You can go to sleep now! :D (because it's probably 2am)

:)

I prepare my mind to focus on the text. Then after I read the text over a few times I think about what terms i want to talk about and use. I brainstorm how I want to layout my paper to how i want it to go. Then When it comes to my thesis I think about what Ms. Noonan told us about the "WOW". That really helps. Then i re read the paper i wrote to figure out any grammatical errors i can fix. What I usually have problems with is explaining my point in the paper. I know how i want things to play out then when i start writing it doesnt turn out how i want. Another problem would be connecting the text to the question we are suppose to answer.

oh..oh...oh

I am going to be honest. I actually start my essay a night before, which it is not a good idea because then you are in a rush just to get the essay done and do not have all the evidence to support your essay.


Other days I start writing my essay the next day after I get the essay question to gather all the information and highlight important parts in the poem or story.
Sometimes after not writing an essay for a week or two, I forget what or how should I start my essay.

Making an outiline it is helpful because then you get to connect all your ideas and make your life more easier. Also anoter way of making a better essay is by asking Ms. Noonan asking which I need to start doing that. hehehe...

Just Do It.

Question: What process do you use when writing your weekly essays? What's your first step? Second step? Etc.? How do you develop your thesis statement? What problems do you frequently encounter?


Answer: I usually start by thinking of which three subtopics I can talk about. Then I find a way to incorporate that into a thesis statement and Then I just write in the order of the thesis statement while also looking for quotes that can help prove my argument. Then I change the thesis statement because I have a different idea on how to write the paper. Then I sleep (Thats the effect these papers have on me). Wake up. Then I eat ( I need Power food to survive the torture of writing the paper) Then I finish typing the paper.
The problems I usually have:
-Simply doing the paper.
-Thinking of literary terms for the thesis statement.
-Writing the thesis statement
-Organizing thoughts.
-Doing the paper the night before it is due.
-Staying awake to write the paper.

HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My first impression on Mr. Bennet was he was a cool laid back guy. You can tell he dont like alot of attention but he is pretty sneaky the way he was acting about the situation. He is also a scarcastic person and I prefer his charcater. I like him more. Mrs.Bennet is an exciting, loud person. She also want to get her kids married so they can be taken care of.

Comment on Sara and Yari's post

Sara: I totally agree that he is a very interesting character in this book. I like what you said about first impressions it is very true and obvious. I hope we see more of how he really is and his true intentions :)

Yari: So I also like on how you compared both of these characters. Yet I do not agree on what you said about them both carrying for the future of ALL their daughters since it is clearly shown that they both have the favorite in the family.

Comment on crystal's blog

it seems like every parent has their favorite child. with me it was my brother Oscar who was the favorite, and i agree with what you said about who is mr. and mrs Bennet's favorite child

Mr. Bennet, man.

Mr. Bennet is a super chill guy that likes sarcasm and jokes. Mrs. Bennet is a very annoying and dramatic person in which i really could not stand since the beginning. She cares, in a way, abut her daughters getting married only so they won't end up poor. Mr. Bennet actually knows his daughters well enough to understand their attitudes and what man could or could not be good for them. Therefore, I pick Mr. Bennet all the way. in some cases first impressions should not be the way to judge people. but in this case it is more than obvious how to judge these two characters.

Well dont we all just love Mr.Bennet :)

So I see that we all like Mr.Bennet and his personality! I agree with that since he is the only one so far that seems normal. I feel like his first impression was ok but not in the way that he is rude to his wife, although this sarcasm does create a sense of humor in the book. I feel as if he believes he can treat his wife and daughters however he likes and feels like he is the one that has the only power in the household. Mrs. Bennet on the other hand is so #$%5@" annoying, the reason why I say this in the most humanly possible is because eventhough she wants the best for her daughters it seems like she only cares for Jane. In class we have mentioned that there is always the favorite one in the family, and Mrs. Bennet has that towards Jane but Mr. Bennet's favorite one is Lizzy but either way I like Mr. Bennet more :)

Impressions...?

The frist impressions of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet were totally different because they showed us a little glimpse of how they are on their first monologue. Mr. Bennet left the image of a playful, yet serious character. He could be described as a straight-to-the-point person. Unlike Mr. Bennet, Mrs. Bennet seems desperate and annoying, but there's something good about her, which is the fact that her priority are her daughters. It even said it on the book that all her lifetime business was and is her five daughters. If I have to choose, I can't for the fact that both parents seem cool to me in their own ways, and even if they didn't express it at the beggining, they want the best for ALL of their daughters.

Comment for Diaz...

I have noticed that Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet can not communicate because they always disagree in many things. In which it tells me that back in that time many people were not in love because they were marry with the person who had money.

Comment for Crisss...

I agree with you but back in those days people just care about marrying a good man with alot of money in order to have a life.

I Prefer Mrs. Bennet...jk..jk

My first impression of Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet is that they do not actually care about how their daughters may be treated once they get marry. They do not care if they get sick just to get the man attention to get him in love especially Mrs. Bennet when she send Jane to Mr. Bringley house on horse back so Jane can get sick and she can stay over at Mr. Brinlgey house to get him in love and get marry. I prefer Mr. Bennet because his life is not like business to get his daughters marry with a man who has alot of money. Mr. Bennet shows a little more care for his daughters. He knows who is the smart one in the family, Elizabeth does not care guys that much like her other sisters. Mr. Bennet thinks Mr. Bringley should marry Elizabeth because she is not ignorant and silly her like sisters.

[INSERT CLEVER COMMENT HERE]

My first Impression of the two characters was that Mr. Bennet was a smart ass who likes to joke around nonchalantly with his wife. Mrs. Bennet is the type of person who is extremely shallow and Stupid. But in a way she means well when she tries so hard to marry off her daughters. My favorite character between the parents is Mr. Bennet. I like him because of the fact that he is a smart ass and very clever. He just seems like the person I can get along with.

Mr. Bennet is better!

My first impressions of Mr. Bennet is that he is one sneaky guy. He goes and visits Mr. Bingley with out anyone knowing. He reads a lot and can sometimes be rude. Mrs. Bennet is very annoying and slow. She is so desperate for her daughter Jane to marry a guy. Maybe she should do something useful instead of searching for a rich man for her daughter. she's annoying. I prefer Mr. Bennet because he is not annoying like his wife.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Q:What are your first impressions of Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet? Why? Which character do you prefer? Why?
A:My first impressions of Mr. Bennet are that he looks out for his daughters but not in the same way that most parents during this time period would. He thinks that his daughters do not really need a man to survive even though he knows that they do need to have a man to help them out financially. I think that Mrs. Bennet is to caught up on trying to marry her daughters especially Jane because she is the oldest but she isn't really focusing on her other daughters and what they want. Mrs. Bennet also seems to put aside Elizabeth and exposing Jane's beauty from any of her other daughters. I prefer Mr. Bennet because he seems like he is more interested in his daughters learning and reading even though it is rare for women to read during this time period.

Mr. Bennet :P

My first impression of Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet was that they seem to look at their daughters as items or business other then humans. They do not seem to communicate well with each other. I got this impression because in the beginning of the book Mr. Bennet did not tell Mrs. Bennet that he had already gone visit Mr. Bingley. The mothers goal or wish is to get all her daughters married. I prefer Mr. Bennet because he is realistic and sarcastic. He knows that his daughters need to get married, and when he is been sarcastic with his wife about that issue we know that he does care about his daughter finding a guy and getting married.
