    Jane Austen
    One of my favorite writers her works were so romantic and it is mixed with fiction
    I love her novels; I never get bored of reading them over and over
    And watch them as moves too, and her best novel, for me, is
    Pride and Prejudice
    Oh dear, the scene the characters the love story we experience with Elizabeth and Darcy, ever thing in this novel is perfect
    .
    ..

    Here is a Summary of the novel


    Elizabeth Bennet is a country gentleman's daughter in 19th Century England. She is one of five daughters, a plight that her father bears as best he can with common sense and a general disinterest in the silliness of his daughters. Elizabeth is his favorite because of her level-headed approach to life when his own wife's greatest concern is getting her daughters married off to well-established gentlemen. Only Jane, Elizabeth's older sister, is nearly as sensible and practical as Elizabeth, but Jane is also the beauty of the family, and therefore, Mrs. Bennet's highest hope for a good match.


    When Mr. Bingley, a young gentleman of London, takes a country estate near to the Bennet's home, Mrs. Bennet begins her match-making schemes without any trace of subtlety or dignity. Despite Mrs. Bennet's embarassing interference, Mr. Bingley and Jane become fond of one another. Mr. Darcy, who has accompanied Bingley to the country, begins his acquaintance with Elizabeth, her family, and their neighbors with smug condescension and proud distaste for the all of the country people. Elizabeth, learning of his dislike, makes it a point to match his disgust with her own venom. She also hears from a soldier that she has a fondness for that Darcy has misused the man. Without thinking through the story, Elizabeth immediately seizes upon it as another, more concrete reason to hate Mr. Darcy. She contradicts and argues with Darcy each time they meet, but somewhere along the way he begins to like Elizabeth.


    When Bingley leaves the countryside suddenly and makes no attempts to contact Jane anymore, the young woman is heartbroken. Elizabeth, who had thought well of Bingley, believes that there is something amiss in the way that he left Jane in the lurch. Only when Elizabeth goes to visit her friend at the estate of Darcy's aunt does the mystery begin to unfold. After several encounters with Mr. Darcy while visiting her friend, Elizabeth is shocked when Darcy proposes to her. Elizabeth refuses him and questions him about the way that he misused her soldier friend and his undoubted role in the way that Bingley abandoned Jane. Darcy writes a letter to explain himself, and Elizabeth is embarrassed to learn that she had been mislead about Darcy's character. Had she known the truth, she would have loved Darcy as he loved her. Darcy leaves that part of the country before she can sort out her feelings and make amends with him. Then she meets him again when she is touring the gardens of his estate with her aunt and uncle. Darcy treats her with kindness and she believes he may still love her, but before anything can be done about it, she learns that one of her younger sisters has shacked up with the very soldier who mislead Elizabeth and the rest of her family about Mr. Darcy. Elizabeth returns home immediately.


    When the indignity of her sister's shot-gun wedding is straightened out, Elizabeth is surprised that Darcy returns to the country with Bingley. She expected that the shame of her sister's actions had ruined any chances of a relationship with Mr. Darcy, or Jane and Bingley. Elizabeth learns from her aunt that Darcy did a great part to help get her younger sister properly married to the infamous soldier. Jane and Bingley sort out the misunderstanding that drove him away before and get engaged. Then Elizabeth and Darcy work out their misunderstandings and agree to marry.

    Ireland’s Four Nobel Laureates



    The highest literary award, The Nobel Prize for Literature has been awarded to four of Ireland’s writers in the last century; William Butler Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, Samuel Beckett and most recently, Seamus Heaney.
    This is a disproportionate number given Ireland’s relatively small population.
    It is, however, an accurate acknowledgement of
    the huge literary talent Ireland has produced.

    William Butler Yeats was a poet of outstanding talent whose measured phrases beautifully captured his astute insights,
    his passions and his pains.
    Moving from a deeply felt but restrictive nationalist
    agenda his work matured into a singular poetic voice of great depth
    and beauty and he is justly acclaimed worldwide.
    George Bernard Shaw’s work is markedly different but equally innovative
    and his individual voice is strengthened by
    a strong socialist commitment,
    a satirical streak of often biting ferocity and a range of powerful insights into the frailty of the human subject,
    its folly and its failings.
    His is however,
    a humane voice and his work is worth exploring for
    its clear-sighted compassion too.
    Samuel Beckett, like Joyce, did most of his writing while in exile but Ireland was never far from his mind as he

    carved out a very unique body of writing that is recognised now as deeply intellectual and highly personal.
    We will explore his place in Ireland’s great tradition
    of dramatic writing and his highly individual prose writing.

    Seamus Heaney’s writing began to emerge in a period of great crisis for Ireland,
    a period which was also one of great creative energy.
    The latter, for Heaney,
    has endured and his work has matured
    and developed over four decades.
    He is still producing works of great insight,
    both in his poetry and his criticism
    and he is justifiably something of a national treasure,
    beloved by all.

    Virginia Woolf

    Virginia Woolf was an English writer, author and novelist and a pioneer of modernism in English literature. Among her most famous work are novels To the Lighthouse, Mrs. Dalloway and Orlando and an essay A Room of One's Own. She was an important figure in the Victorian literary society and is regarded as one of the greatest modernist literary personality of the twentieth century. She became the innovator of the English literature with her experiment with the 'stream of consciousness' and broke the mold with her highly experimental language denouncing the traditional literary techniques. Her works allow for a deeper insight to the psychology of a character and its real thinking, though they are often criticized for its pretentious and elitist depiction of the characters. The author turned into a victim to a severe depression cluttering her life and mental stability and eventually leading her to commit suicide in 1941

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886),
    In 1830, Emily Dickinson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts. She attended Mount Holyoke Female Seminary in South Hadley, but severe homesickness led her to return home after one year. Throughout her life, she seldom left her house and visitors were scarce.


    , wrote hundreds of poems including “Because I Could Not Stop for Death “Heart, we will forget him!”
    , “I'm Nobody! Who are You?”,
    and “Wild Nights! Wild Nights!”;
    Wild Nights! Wild Nights
    Were I with thee,
    Wild Nights should be
    Our luxury!

    Futile the winds
    To a heart in port, --
    Done with the compass,
    Done with the chart!
    Rowing in Eden!
    Ah! the sea!
    Might I but moor
    To-night in Thee!

    "The Walking Dead"
    is (as the name somewhat implies) one of those zombie comics that have become so popular as of late.
    I've read a few of them, and I must say, this one is the best.
    The opening is actually startlingly similar to the film
    "28 Days Later" as our hero, a small-town cop,
    wakes up from a coma to find that the world
    has been overrun by zombies and everything he knew
    and loved is missing or outright destroyed.
    That similar starting point aside, after that the story
    takes on a really unique flavor for a zombie story.
    It's not so much about the zombies themselves,
    but about our hero, the ragtag group of survivors he joins,
    and how they try to rebuild after the cataclysm.

    Yeah, I know that a lot of zombie movies,
    at least the really good ones, are "commentaries on society"
    instead of straight horror flicks.
    That's very true. But every zombie movie has to have an ending.
    With "The Walking Dead"
    being an ongoing comic,
    \ and therefore open-ended, we get to see facets of life in
    a "zombie world" that we rarely see in a zombie movie.
    The comic is almost never about the immediate threat of a zombie attack (in fact, it becomes clear that many living humans
    are far more dangerous in this new world than zombies are).
    It's about how people get by after their entire world has been stripped away from them.
    That means it really runs the gamut of human emotion
    -- from terror to grief to anger.
    It's very dark, often painful, frequently moving,
    and even occasionally funny. It's like real life.

    Charlotte Brontë

    Charlotte Brontë was born in 1816, the third daughter of the Rev.
    Patrick Brontë and his wife Maria.
    Her brother Patrick Branwell was born in 1817, and her sisters Emily and Anne in 1818 and 1820. In 1820, too,
    the Brontë family moved to Haworth, Mrs. Brontë dying the following year.
    In 1824 the four eldest Brontë daughters were enrolled as pupils
    at the Clergy Daughter's School at Cowan Bridge.
    The following year Maria and Elizabeth, the two eldest daughters,
    became ill, left the school and died: Charlotte and Emily, understandably were brought home
    .

    Upon her return home the sisters embarked upon

    their project for founding a school, which proved to be an abject failure: their advertisements did not elicit a single
    response from the public. The following year Charlotte discovered Emily's poems, and decided to publish a selection of the poems

    of all three sisters: 1846 brought the publication of their Poems, written under the pseudonyms of Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell.
    Charlotte also completed The Professor, which was rejected for publication. The following year, however,
    Charlotte's Jane Eyre, Emily's Wuthering Heights,
    and Ann's Agnes Grey were all published,
    still under the Bell pseudonyms.

    Life

    Life, believe, is not a dream
    So dark as sages say;
    Oft a little morning rain
    Foretells a pleasant day.
    Sometimes there are clouds of gloom,
    But these are transient all;
    If the shower will make the roses bloom,
    O why lament its fall?
    Rapidly, merrily,
    Life's sunny hours flit by,
    Gratefully, cheerily
    Enjoy them as they fly!
    What though Death at times steps in,
    ?And calls our Best away
    What though sorrow seems to win,
    O'er hope, a heavy sway?
    Yet Hope again elastic springs,
    Unconquered, though she fell;
    Still buoyant are her golden wings,
    Still strong to bear us well.
    Manfully, fearlessly,
    The day of trial bear,
    For gloriously, victoriously,

    Can courage quell despair!
    .

    Life doesn’t frighten me at all.

    Shadows on the wall
    Noises down the hall
    Life doesn’t frighten me at all

    Bad dogs barking loud
    Big ghosts in a cloud
    Life doesn’t frighten me at all

    Mean old Mother Goose
    Lions on the loose
    They don’t frighten me at all

    Dragons breathing flame
    On my counterpane
    That doesn’t frighten me at all.

    I go boo
    Make them shoo
    I make fun
    Way they run
    I won’t cry
    So they fly
    I just smile
    They go wild

    Life doesn’t frighten me at all.

    Tough guys fight
    All alone at night
    Life doesn’t frighten me at all.

    Panthers in the park
    Strangers in the dark
    No, they don’t frighten me at all.

    That new classroom where
    Boys all pull my hair
    (Kissy little girls
    With their hair in curls)
    They don’t frighten me at all.

    Don’t show me frogs and snakes
    And listen for my scream,
    If I’m afraid at all
    It’s only in my dreams.

    I’ve got a magic charm
    That I keep up my sleeve
    I can walk the ocean floor
    And never have to breathe.

    Life doesn’t frighten me at all
    Not at all
    Not at all.

    Life doesn’t frighten me at all.
