Pride and Predjudice

After reading Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice, I was left feeling like I had just taken a walk in the clouds.

The life lesson I took from the book was that sometimes, I may have to humble myself and realize my faults to become the greatest person I can be.

Austin's portrayal of all of the character's was so realistic to me, I was astounded. One of the story's main character's, Mr. Darcy, reminds me of a friend I once knew. She had to humble herself to gain a friend.

Austin shows that her character's are not without normal emotions, as well. The story contains love, deceit, betrayal, and irony.

After finishing the wonderful work, I related this book to some of the issues our country is facing today. Perhaps, if we swallowed our pride once in a while, as a nation, we would accomplish more diplomatically.

I personally, love this book. I had to go and buy my own copy to keep. I believe that if you read it, you will love it. The book is one that everyone should read.
