The original Pride and Prejudice review

      Jane Austin is a very talented writer. Despite the old school plot lines and vocabularies, reading this book was quite a fun experience.
      The character interaction between Elizabeth and Mr.Darcy is kind of like a long and winding road; there's no major plot twists nor roller coaster-like-climactic-scorching love making scenes. Even during Darcy's marriage proposal it felt like unwrapping a little present; sweet yet simple.
       I also specifically enjoy the development of Elizabeth Bennet. This character in which was created in that time period was unique and intriguing. She's an intelligent female with a witty sense of humor, and among rest of the antagonizing female characters surrounded her, she still maintained a good virtue (like she traveled 3 miles on foot just to visit her ill sister) which in my opinion is what eventually attracted Darcy.( despite her harsh tongue)
      Mr.Darcy aka the proud owner of Pemberly, was arrogant and condescending at first but as the story progresses Elizabeth realized from the testimonials from the others that he was actually a kind and generous man. What the author tries to convey through this character is that judgement is better not be made so soon before knowing a person as a whole. Elizabeth's harsh opinions and undermining statements upon Darcy were overthrown later on after realizing what he was really like.
     Other miscellaneous characters by contrast, were more roughly sketched out rather carefully planned. Jane Bennet and Mr Binley were kind and bright, while other characters resides in Netherfeild were just shallow and superficial. It was intentionally done by author to strike out the contrast from Elizabeth and Darcy's colorful, vivid personalities and egos.
     Overall I enjoyed the book. It can be a bit dull and long time to time but overall it's entertaining.

week1 in class writing

       My name is Jingjing Cao. I was born in Canton, China in a cold winter of 1993. My family from both of my parents are Chinese. One from north and the other from south. My grandparents from my mother's side are from the deep mountains of Yunnan, China; A province where more than 30 minor races resides, Yunnan is also famous for its variety of mushrooms and wild lifes grown there.
      China contains 56 races with one majority race which is Han. I and my whole family from both of my parents sides are all Han. However, within the same race there are a variety of dialects and written language differences. My grandparents from my mother's side speak a dialect from Yunnan, it is so derived from mandarin Chinese that people from other areas might have a hard time understanding.

     There are several people who influenced my artistic ideas and taste, same as music and other forms of art. I would say the Cartoon network from the early 90s and early Japanese animated films directed by Hiyao Miyazaki changed my life as an adolescent. In a way it provoked my interest and desire to know what it is like in other cultures and that subsequently made me want to go study abroad and travel to different place.

     To me, the term 'ideology' is more like where my thought are at the present. The world is different in everybody's eyes, what I think an object is might not be the same 5 minutes later. My thought and my values do change from time to time. at the present I am writing this paper and to me this thing that I'm doing right now is the whole of me, it is one with me because my mind is serving for this action. This cognition is my ideology.
