Pride and Prejudice

This book tells the story of the Elizabeth Bennet and four sisters. The town has talk about the arrival of two wealthy gentlemen, Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy. Mrs. Bennet, mother of the Bennet sisters, wants to get her daughters married.

The way Mrs.Bennet attempts to pimp out her daughters makes me question how she would treat her son. Seeing as that the Bennet’s don’t have a son would their main focus for him would either do well in school and become a scholar or be a common factory or dock worker. I would feel as if being the only male I would become favored over my sisters. Saying that their son was a scholar, I see Mrs. Bennet being overly indulging in her son’s life. She would see any person that he would date or have interest in be looking to take away the future of her “So Special Son.” She would try her hardest to guide all of her son’s descisions. This is similar to the mother of Dwayne Wayne of the 1987 TV show, “A Different World.” Mrs. Wayne has an outspoken opinion of the people in his life.

The relationship of Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy reminds me of Bart Simpson and Milhouse Van Houten of the TV show, The Simpsons. Bart and Milhouse share advice with each other through their whole relationship. The way Darcy tells Bingley that Jane was not attracted to him is similar to the way Bart breaks down Milhouse that his sister Lisa was not attracted to him when developed his crush.

Darcy has the most general change in this story. Darcy was very cold hearted in the story began. At first he couldn’t look past class in search of a woman. He had seen Elizabeth as inferior to him because she was not in his social class. Elizabeth found out that Darcy tried to put a halt to the relationship between her sister, Jane, and his best friend Mr. Bingley. Upon seeing him, Darcy confesses his love and Elizabeth rejects him for ruining Jane and Mr. Bingley’s relationship. Darcy has taken aside all of his prejudices and decided to go after Elizabeth even though he rejected her before. Darcy writes a letter to Elizabeth explaining all his troubles in an attempt to clear the air. After Elizabeth finds out that her sister, Lydia has been swindled by Wickham and her parents had been bribed  to marry her to keep her family reputation. Here Darcy proves his change when he pays off the bribe and Elizabeth falls in love with him. Darcy repents for his wrongs to get Elizabeth.

What will be the title and setting?

I think the title of the book is great showing that it is the main two themes of this book excluding love. This story would take place in South Park. The commoners have little houses but the wealthy would have large exorbitant mansions and living like royalty. They would host balls and galas because they’d have space where their whole town can fit plus some.

Siddhartha

Siddhartha is a novel taking place in ancient India, about the son of a Brahmin, who who instead of following in his father's footsteps, he decides to go on a spiritual journey to achieve enlightenment. Throughout the story he looks to attain wisdom because he felt that he received all he could get from his home village.

Whenever Siddhartha experiences love or learns a lesson, he takes it on his own to leave not too long after. Before going on his spiritual quest, Siddhartha needs permission from his father. His father cannot sleep easy after Siddhartha hits him the news that he wants to follow the Samana lifestyle. In the morning, he allows Siddhartha to go. He knows he had to let Siddhartha to grow and make his own decisions.
Govinda, Siddhartha best friend, had decided to join Siddhartha on his spiritual journey with the Semanas. They had spent 3 years with the Semanas until talk of a Buddha. They left the Samanas and went to find the Buddha. Siddhartha luckily finds him sitting by a stream. The Buddha didn't need a teacher to reach enlightenment so Siddhartha feels as if he shouldn't have a teacher either. He leaves everyone including Govinda to survive and learn on his own.
Kamala, Siddhartha’s wife, had loved each other eternally and physically. Upon entering her town she gave him opportunity of riches which he took. They became wealthy then becoming connected. After sometime, Siddhartha has realized he has left his original plans to reach enlightenment. He leaves Kamala without warning. She understood completely but Siddhartha did not he left her with a child.
After some years, Siddhartha returns to the town where he had left Kamala. He had found her and in his arms he gave Kamala her final embrace before dieing and bestowing a son. Siddhartha takes his son to his life with the ferryman and away from his niche. He takes repeated abuse from his son. The ferryman knows that this was not the right place for Siddhartha to raise his son who was accustomed to town life. Siddhartha’s son runs away and takes the ferryman's boat. Siddhartha wants to chase after him but the ferryman knew this was best for the both of them.


The relationship between Siddhartha and Govinda reminded me of the adventures of The Cooper Gang of Sly, Bentley, and Murray. They had been friends their whole lives and went on journeys together. Murray had split from the group to go on a spiritual journey just as Siddhartha had. He had found a guru to teach him ways of life such as Siddhartha went to find Buddha. They both later found their friends after they been late in their findings.

This book has a simplistic feel to it. When reading it, you get a sense of being wiser. It can shows that it search of what you want, in this case spiritual enlightenment, there can be distractions everywhere as well as guidance from these goals can be
