"Laugh as much as you choose, but you will not laugh me out of my opinion."
-chapter 17I have previously given a summary on the novel because I have finished reading it, so in this blog all i have to talk about is the language in the novel. Jane Austen has a very discriptive way of writing. My mother says that in serbian it doesn't flow well translated, but in English I find the language very beautiful. I think that it flows with ease and that it all fits well just like a puzzel. Sometimes the language annoys me a little bit becuase all the information she gives us is not needed and can be pointless, but regardless weather it is needed or not it is normally written in a very fluid, discriptive, and beautiful way. I really think Jane Austen had a gift for writing. SO overall I think her writing is beautiful, but can go on a little bit, my mother likes it she just thinks the translation of the language is bad.
Here is a list of some of the vocabulary that I learned from this novel:
-
importune-
beg persistently and urgentl
-
elate-
fill with high spirits; fill with optimism
- barefaced-
with no effort to conceal
-
recommence-
cause to start anew
-
complaisant-
showing a cheerful willingness to do favors for others
My author also gives a lot of detail but I appreciate it. It helps me make a vivid picture in my head. I believe that the language in a book gives it its character.
ReplyDeleteVery nice blog post. I like how you added the vocabulary at the end for us to get the image of the book. Nice explanation too. Good job!
