Fahrenheit 451

I love novels that are set in the future like Fahrenheit 451. It is set in a society where censorship is everything!!! The firefighters have the job of actually burning books, which would be considered ironic in today's society.... which I think leads me to the topic of my paper!!! Comparing today's society to the one in the novel, or about the irony, or a persuasive paper on whether or not our society could transform into a society similar to that in the novel....

The Pride and the Prejudice

I loved this novel!!! The story was amazing!!!! I think that Jane Austen is a great author, and I thought that the novel had a lot of humor that I didn't get!!!! but oh well.... I thought it was a great love story.... and I'm thinking about watching the movie and comparing it to the novel...but I'm not sure if that's a good plan or not!!!! we'll see!!!

The Color Purple

So this novel was kind of weird and all over the place!!! It has a young girl with an abusive father. I think I want to write a paper comparing it to maybe present day life in a third-world country because the situation could happen today!!! A young girl was abused by her father and then forced to marry an older man. This is a type of thing that does occur in today's world... and I think I could write a good paper on it!!!!

The Age of Innocence

The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton was very difficult for me to read, but it was a good novel. I felt that this novel was very similar to Wharton's other book Ethan Frome. In The Age of Innocence, Archer falls in love with his fiance's cousin, comparable to Ethan falling in love with Mattie in Ethan Frome. The plot lines were similar and I think that I'm going to write my paper comparing the novels, or on Wharton's writing style !!!!
