Pride and Prejudice:

Whats with all this propriety? Between Elizabeth's wild sister Lydia and Mr. Darcy being backward I cant stand it, we all know they get together in the end. Lets look at the situation from this point of view. Lizzy is just a down home country girl who ain't afraid to speak her mind and Darcy is a shy down -homeboy that's smarter than he looks. Yeah hes got a better double wide than Lizzy's family but she don't care, she wants a man whose gonna treat her right. So they see each other a couple times at the local gas station and barn parties but every time they talk they get mad at each other and nothing ever happens. Not to mention the trashy biker dude, Wickham, who keeps trying to pick up Lizzy. Well of course, hes got a nice Harley and jet-black Elvis -like hair but all that glitter don't mean nothing, underneath, hes using her. She needs that bare-foot country boy, Mr. Darcy. She gets hit on by her cousin and the biker dude takes off with her wild sister. Then one day Lizzy is walking through Darcy's back yard and finally they meet up and get hitched. Why cant the book be like that? It would be alot shorter. Happy ending. Southern Pride, No Prejudice.

  1. haha, I like this. I always enjoy putting different analogies into books to try and make them more comprehendible. Especially when I'm dealing with Shakespeare...that stuff is a bunch of mumbo jumbo to me, I need to put it into a light which I can understand. Keep making those comparisons in other books you read, for it's going to help you understand it better!
