HW #4 Pride and Prejudice ------10 pts.

Ch. 22
Charlotte Lucas has been secretly attentive and encouraging to Mr. Collins and aware of his shortcomings but wanting stability in her future, accepts a proposal of marriage from him.
Elizabeth is disappointed that her friend is humiliating herself for money and doesn't think she could ever do such a thing.
(Remember, Charlotte has already stated that it's only luck that determines if you are happy in marriage or not, because regardless of how you feel before the marriage, you start growing apart afterward regardless.)
----------------------------------------------------
So, who do you think is right? Is it wrong to want to marry someone who can provide for you even if you are not madly in love? Or, is it ridiculous to think love alone will be able to make you happy in life? (keep in mind a great number of divorces are caused by $ problems). Please explain your answer as thoroughly as possible.

Look at your notes for characterization---Direct/Indirect (STEAL)

We are going to complete a (direct and indirect) characterization of Mr. Collins using STEAL method. After we read Ch. 15, we will read it and look for textual support. We will then put this into a paragraph for homework.

Characterization Notes

Ch. 7 Summary--Please Copy---we are not reading it, only watching in the movie.

•A militia unit arrives at Meryton, a town close to the Bennets for the winter.
•Jane is invited to Netherfield to have lunch with Mr. Bingley's sisters.
•Mrs. Bennet is scheming: Jane can go on horseback instead of in the carriage, so she'll have to stay overnight if it rains. She gets sick and stays there.

Hw #3 Pride and Prejudice

You do not have to copy the question, only write a response to me in a complete sentence. Your answer should be about 1-2 paragraphs long

Miss Bingley is described by the narrator as being entitled which is defined as a guarantee of access to benefits based on established rights or by legislation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, today's teens are often accused of having a "sense" or "feeling" of entitlement, which refers to a notion or belief that one is deserving of some particular reward or benefit without any reason other than-- you are you and the world owes you something.

Do you agree or disagree with this--meaning--do you think today's teens have a sense of entitlement---that they should have anything they want "just because" they deserve it? Explain your answer please. Give any examples you can think of as support.
