Levia  +  288865 Fri, 03 Nov 06 06:48 AM Hi, guys. I am endeaving to finish works of namable famale novelist Jane Austine. I have read Sense and Sensibility, Persuation, Emma. Now, I am enjoying Mansfield Park. Her books are terrific. I like it very much. Any body who like Jane Austine's works, your words will be wormly welcomed. Now, I have finished the first chapter of Mansfield Park. Before reading, I searched the internet and had a general idea of what this novel about. The story is about a little girl who are grown up in her rich relatives.  She suffered the neglect from children who are of almost her age except the yongest son. The first chapter just open the curtain of the whole story. It briefly introduces the most important characters to us. The couple of Thomas, Mrs. Norris and Fanny Price. This centre is focusing on the couple and Mrs. Norris. They are talking about raising little girl Fanny Price in the rich Thomas family. Their conversation precisely interpretes Mrs Norris's motivate and the couple's real purpose of accept the poor cute girl.

These portrays entirely show us the unease of a little girl when she faces the wholly strange place. All of these words hint that the tough situation living in an environment especially which is absolutely different from before. She has to be careful about her words and conducts. Children of her relatives’ superficially accept her as a family. Nevertheless, they look down on her poverty family background. Be located in this embarrassed situation, Fanny need the real friendship. She is lucky. The youngest son of the host considers her a genuine family. Levia

The similarities are superficial.  Fanny's gentle personality eventually wins the heart of all those she loves, something Lin can never do. julielai Joined on Sun, Oct 24 2004 Senior Member 3,829 Just another blogger (http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/julie-lai)
