Blog Post #1 Emma

Emma
Author: Jane Austen
Genre: Classic
Pages: 51/487

1. The main character in the book I have chosen is Emma Woodhouse. As said in the book she is "handsome, clever and rich with a comfortable home and happy disposition". At 21 she was
 already appointed mistress of Heartfield. She has grown up spoiled, beloved, and the cleverest in her family. She is the busy comforter of her fathers real and imagined ills. She enjoys meddling in other peoples love-lives and takes the "duty" of matchmaking. 

2. Others would describe Emma as " a little bit too clever for her own good" because she always comes up with plans to match to people and she could answer difficult questions at 12 when her older sister could not at 17. Most would speculate that she would be a very spoiled and snobbish person though the people close to her family knows that she is very kind and would never lead someone the "wrong way". People have trouble finding flaws in her elegance and manners and she has a big influence on others. 

3. Emma would probably place a very handsome letter with instructions about how to be the perfect matchmaker and write about speculations for possible couples and marriages. She would most likely also place some of her portraits of people she has drawn. Since she enjoys drawing of all sorts and everyone she knows always compliments her drawings for being very realistic.  

4. I think that if the people who find Emma's time-capsule knows or remembers the people on her speculation list would be surprised that most of her matches would become real. People would be charmed by her clever writing and instructions and some might even try taking on the "duty" of a matchmaker. People would be amazed by how realistic her drawings are and she might even become famous for them.
