Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice 1813, London: penguin, 1996

Introduction

Pride and Prejudice is written by Jane Austen. It is a fictional novel. She was endowed with the home environment where there was the quality of the literature, and she began creation from the teens. She draws the middle-class society of the country in England in the 19th century from the 18th century. She draws the private life of the woman with irony mainly on marriage affectionately, and her novel is a top of the British novel.

A main character of this novel is a young woman born as the second daughter of five sisters called Elizabeth Bennet. She meets Darcy who is very rich. At first, she has prejudice towards his arrogant manner, but they notice different essence each other and come to love.

Summary

Mr. Bingley who is a young capitalist moves near Mr. Benett’s house. Jane who is the eldest daughter becomes the love relationship with him. Because the words of Mr. Darcy hurt Elizabeth’s pride, she has antipathy towards him who is a close friend of the Bingley. In secret, Darcy begins to be attracted by intellectual charm to dwell in eyes of Elizabeth, but because of the height of the pride, he is not opened up with Elizabeth who is demotion than him. Bingley and Jane become closely, but Bingley returns to London suddenly. Elizabeth knew that Darcy let him leave to disturb Jane, and Elizabeth was taken by awful anger. In such a case, she is proposed to by Darcy. However, she refuses it because of about Wickham and Jane　and his arrogant manner. Next day, a letter reached Elizabeth from Darcy. Apology and the pasts of Wickham were written in it. When she read, she notices that she had prejudice against Darcy. At last, Darcy and Elizabeth come together. They married and lived happily.

Analysis

This novel can analyze British background under the theme of property. In the novel, Elizabeth’s mother is desperate to marry a daughter off to a rich man. In the U.K. of the 18th century, it was considered to be the happiness of the woman to find the good marriage partner because there were few occupations that a woman could become independent. A good marriage partner is a rich man having a lot of property. Because there was not the right that a woman succeeded to property, the marriage was the problem that was more acute than the present. Now, we can marry favorite person freely. I think it is very fortune and happiness. It is good luck that one’s favorite person is rich like Elizabeth. However all people can’t be like her. It is sad to marry to get for property. I don’t want to get marry without the love.

My High School

I found the yearbook of the high school when I cleaned my room. Because I came to miss schooldays, I introduce my high school a little.　

I went to the Tokyo University of Agriculture First High school. It has a lot of good places. First, corridor is very spacious. Width is four meters!! It is so expansive that we often played catch or volleyball. Actually, but, we must not do there. Therefore, we were warned by teachers. However, it is a good memory now. Second, the facilities for exercise are well-appointed. There are a gym which has two basketball courts, the ground of lawn and a training room. They were very useful for me, because I belonged to the basketball club. Third, there is a plasma television in each classroom, which you may think very modern. It is used when we watch DVD in a class. Occasionally, we watched “Waratte Iitomo” secretly in lunchtime. Last, there is the shop which has a lot of stationeries, and foods, so it is very convenient. We can eat lunch, dessert such as pudding, ice cream and so on. In winter, the hot snacks such as steamed meat buns (Nikuman) are sold. Furthermore, the school is located in the good place where it is not noisy buy quiet. In short, my high school is very comfortable, so I am proud of it. In my school, there are many good memories.

Book report (Oliver)

MLA citation
Charles, Dickens. Oliver Twist. England: 1838.

Introduction

Oliver twist is written by Charles, Dickens. It is a fictional novel. He is a novelist representing British Victorian Age, and it is the great writer who is famous for “Christmas carol” globally. Because his father was imprisoned for a debt, he worked at a shoe polish factory at the age of 12 years old. He spent days of the hardship. Afterwards, he acted as the student of the lawyer and he learned shorthand and found own way to a journalist and came to contribute a sentence, an essay to a newspaper and a magazine.
This novel draws the U.K. of the 19th century. As for the theme of this novel, criticism for the British Relief of the Poor Act is regarded as important. It was made to restrain social uneasiness by the poor increase. However, it was not a good thing so that even this book was criticized.

Summary

Oliver who was an orphan was brought to an workhouse. One day, when he was nine, he asks Mr. Bumble (diocese) to give him more gruel. As a result, Oliver made his angry, and he was made to work at a funeral home. However, he was tormented in unreasonableness. At last, he ran away to London. In London, He become gangs of the thief corps which Jewish Fagin is a leader. One day he has an eye on the gentleman who browsed in a bookstore and stole a handkerchief from his pocket with gangs, but they are found. Oliver run away in a hurry, but he is caught by the police. The brown low that is the gentleman who had a handkerchief stolen takes Oliver to his home　and protects him. At that time, Fagin and Bill Sykes were afraid that Oliver informed them, and they let Nancy investigate his whereabouts. Oliver is taken back with Fagin. However, Nancy who sympathized with Oliver tells Mr. Brownlow his place to stay in secret. In the worst thing, Nancy was followed, and she is murdered by angry Sikes. Afterwards, but, the gangs were caught by the police. Fagin is arrested, and hanging, Sikes die in an accident after an escape. The bad people were sentenced. Finally Oliver lives with a Mr. Brownlow happily.

Analyze

As a characteristic of the Dickens’s novel, Oliver Twist’s characters discriminate the good and bad clearly. For example, good person is Oliver, Mr. Brownlow and Rose, in contrast bad person is Fagin, Bill Sikes and Monks. However, Nancy is different. She is the character who has both good and bad aspect. Other characters have good and bad clearly, on the other hand only she contradicts. When she is a child of the streets, she has been a thief and drinks too much, also she is a prostitute. In the middle of a story she takes back Oliver who lives with Mr. Brownlow by force, because Fagin is afraid that a secret of oneself is known. Afterward Nancy seems to feel an attack of conscience, because she thought that Oliver is separated from Mr. Brownlow because of oneself. One day Nancy who is a lover of Bill Sykes put a sleeping drug in medicine of Bill Sykes who suffer from fever. Then Nancy goes to meet Mr. Brownlow secretly, and she tells to Mr. Brownlow the place where Oliver is. However, Bill Sykes who heard the story is angry, and she is murdered. She sacrifices her life to save Oliver. She is a wife of the members of the thief groups, and she also does a bad thing, so she has evil, but I think that her action that does not forget conscience is splendid, and I feel sorry for murdered Nancy. She commits a crime for him. Finally she betrays him to save Oliver and finish her life. Therefore the love of Nancy for Bill Sikes expresses moral vagueness and contradiction of her character.

Work part-time

I work part-time in a DOTOUR which is famous coffee shop. I have begun to work from the latter half of May. I had worked at a SAINTMALC restaurant before, so I had the experience of the service. I longed to work in a coffee shop, so when I was adopted, I was glad. And, I like this work, because all the people working together in a shop are good people. There are three works in a DOTUR; cashier, making drinks and foods. Now, I can make drinks and cashier. At first, it is difficult for me to do them, because by cashier’s work, I didn’t understand how I use a cash register. Especially, by work of making drinks was hard, because I have to memorize how to make drinks. There are a lot of drink menu, so I had a hard time to remember it. However, I was used, and I can make almost drinks. My recommendation is Ice Honey Café au lait which is new sale. It tastes bitter and sweet, so it is delicious. Please try to drink;) I learn how to make foods from now on, and I want to be full-fledged.

Some stories change, do you know EXCELSIOR CAFFE? It is a chain store of DOTOUR, but their coffee is more expensive than DOTOUR. However ingredient of drink using in the Excelsior is the same as DOTOUR. Why? It is because Excelsior is higher decoration charges in the shop. That is to say, Drinking in DOTOUR is more advantageous than in Excelsior.
