Reading Pride and Prejudice was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It was one of those books that you expect nothing but the best. The book met up to my expectations and satisfied the idea I had of the book. The romance aspect of the book grasped my attention and the development of the characters inspired me. Jane Austen wrote this book a long time ago and it is still a classic surrounding the romance between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. The experience of Pride and Prejudice was intensified by how I read the book. I found this great audible on YouTube that had over a million views read by Karen Savage. When I would grab my book and listen to the recording, I was brought into the full experience of Pride and Prejudice. The person reading it kept me engaged with the pace of their voice, the accents, and how they transitioned from different characters based on tones. This led me to fully understand what was happening at each scene and know who was the one talking. I would connect my phone to the speaker and turn the volume high up and listen to the book in the afternoons when I had time. Usually, when there was not much time to sit down and listen to the …show more content…

Literature connects us in ways we did not know we were connected. It explores themes that are critical to society that many are not aware of. Literature not only improves our reading skills but improves our understanding of the world. Life on earth would become better if individuals were attracted to literature. Literature changes individuals in ways they did not know. Before, I would notice literature and never explore it like we did in this course. In my opinion, I thought literature was not for me and I was not at the point to explore literature. Now I know that those ideas I had were false and literature can truly change an

    Pride and Prejudice is my most favorite book that I read out of the three. The storyline is captivating, the characters full of life, and the description brilliant. I am so glad that I saw it on the list and decided to read it. Typically, it is not a book that I would read but, I decided to challenge myself and read an older book. Although some of the language was difficult and it could be hard to understand sometimes, Pride and Prejudice was amazing and I recommend it to everyone. The last book that I read, The Crying of Lot 49 was absolutely awful. I am very sad that I had to end my book presentations with such a bad book. I definitely misjudged it. The back cover of the book made it sound so interesting but it was completely wrong. The book was without a doubt the worst I have read in my life. One of the biggest problems that I had to deal with during book presentations was the proper use of summarization. I got better past the first presentations but I found it very difficult at first to not include every single detail in the book. But now I get that you do not have to retell the entire story for people to get the idea of what your book was about. I think that learning this is
