New blog for Quarter 2!

I am still reading New Moon, but since it was break I decided to read something else for fun because I had the time. This past year I was given all of the Jane Austen books, and it is in my interest to eventually read all of them, although I have only read Pride and Prejudice. I decided to begin reading Mansfield park. The underlying issue of this book is the issue of Money and Marriage. For some reason I thought it would be interesting. One thing about reading a Jane Austen book as that sometimes it is a bit difficult to get through them. One thing is that a lot of the language used is sometimes a bit hard to follow, afterall the book was written a long time ago. But I have encountered a lot of the vocab words which we have studied in class. So far in the novel I have learned of the main character Fanny who goes to live with her more fortunate aunt and uncle so she may have a better education. When she first arrives she is very heartbroken. She misses her family and her friends and is not very grateful for her new life. She soon meets someone named Edmund who helps guide her and cheer her up, while making her more comfortable in her home. I have one prediction about Edmund, that prediction being that I think Fanny and Edmund will eventually fall in love… it seems that they have a connection that could eventually turn into something. I do enjoy reading love stories and I hope this turns out to be a good one!
