2. Jane Austen Jane Austen was born December 16th, 1775 in Hampshire, England. She was the seventh child of the George Austen, the local clergyman, and his wife Cassandra. He had a respectable income of about £600 a year, and also tutored pupils who came to live with him, but was by no means rich (especially with eight children), and couldn't have given his daughters much inheritance money. In 1783, at the age of 8, Jane and her sister Cassandra were sent off to boarding school for their formal educations. The Austen family had a large collection of literature in their home library, which was open to Jane and she made extensive use of it. In December of 1795, Jane fell in love with the nephew of a neighbor, Tom LeFroy, who was studying to be a lawyer. Tom's family frowned upon their relationship, as the Austen's had little to give in a marriage contract. Austen's father died in the winter of 1805, and she went ot live with her brothers in a cottage. This is where she created her greatest works, like Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice. She died in July of 1817, and revealed to the public shortly thereafter. IMAGINAAAAAAATION

3. Then and Now TRADITIONAL vs. PROGRESSIVE Traditional Ideology was definitely more dependent, particularly towards men. It also seemed more psychological; women didn’t start thinking for themselves until about a full century later. (nineteenth amendment) Women weren’t allowed to participate in anything involving the economy. They were only expected to stay home and take care of it and her children. Women weren’t allowed to become educated, either. Their husbands, however, were. Marrying for love was extremely rare. Most women only married for higher social status, larger property, and more income of money. Emma was born into the eighteenth century; therefore her way of thinking was very proper. Yet, she stubbornly stuck with her own beliefs, until she truly fell in love. Miss Taylor was Emma'sgoverness; she treated Emma like her own daughter. She moves to Randalls after marrying Mr. Weston. Harriet Smith’s parents are unknown; she lives at the local boarding school. She becomes Emma’s inspiration to pick up matchmaking. Progressive Ideology is more independent. It doesn’t really have anything in common with the eighteenth century. Example: You can’t rely on your friends to graduate for you. Along with progress comes technology. Example: cell phones, computers, etc. Using these helps to keep a long-distance relationship going. Technology has a major impact on the economy. Example: companies completing, banks, ect. It makes the economy run a lot more smoothly. Now, both women and men have to be educated, in order to survive in such a money-influenced world. Although marrying for love is usually what first comes to mind, marrying for other reasons still exist today. Cher is so sure that she’s right all of the time; she might even come off by being a bit too full of herself. Ty just wants to be friends with Cher and Dionne; not let them have such a huge impact on her decisions.

5. Pride and Prejudice DESCRIPTION: Pride and Prejudice was first published in 1813 by the famous novelist Jane Austen. The story was originally titled “First impressions”, but after revisions it was re-titled. The story is held in early 19th century England and follows under the character of Elizabeth Bennet. She is the second eldest of five daughters living in the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire. MAJOR THEMES: Besides the obvious theme taken from the title, “Pride and Prejudice,” there are many other themes and morals shown in Jane Austen’s work. One being the importance of upbringing on the development of children and how the lack in parent’s parenting skills can have great affect on a child’s morals and character. An example from “Pride and Prejudice” is the youngest daughter Lydia who because of the failure in especially the mothers parenting, is frivolous and has a close to almost none concept of moral judgment.

6. PLOT SUMMARY: Although Jane is heartbroken, Elizabeth refuses to believe the worst. On a trip to London to visit her friend Charlotte, who is residing at Darcy’s aunt’s estate, Elizabeth begins to learn the truth and mystery behind Mr. Bingley’s disappearance. Darcy and Elizabeth have a few more encounters and Elizabeth is floored with astonishment when he proposes. She refuses and brings up the subject of not only her misused soldier companion but the situation between Jane and Mr. Bingley, assuming he played a role in that as well.

A man from London, Mr. Bingley, buys a country estate near the Bennet’s and at a local ball is introduced to Jane. Although the pair is obviously encouraged by her mother, Jane becomes fond of Mr. Bingley and vice versa. Accompanying Mr. Bingley is his friend Mr. Darcy, who is introduced as very smug and egotistical. He refuses to dance with any of the ladies at the ball and holds himself with the upmost regard.
