Argh! Pride and Prejudice, I swear i have been given the hardest question they could ever invent. If anyone has read the novel i would really appreciate any thoughts on my essay question.

Comparing the first chapters of the novel, with the last chapters, describe how the process which unite both Darcy and Elizabeth is in its way a socail revolution as well as a historical one!

Has to be six pages by tomorrow. I have just finished my third!

With six pages you should have about four main points. If you have already done three pages, you must have some ideas. What are your main points? Before you write anything you should know what your argument is. Write down what you have already argued. Don't just write to pad it out. Use the main arguments as a basis to work from.

Use the last page to tie up your points, and to say why you believe it is a social revolution as well as a historical revolution. Don't try to say too much, just explain the ideas (that you probably already have) well, and use examples from the book to illustrate these ideas.

Have not read the book, but here's a few web sites you might be able to use:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_and_prejudice

http://www.pemberley.com/janeinfo/pridprej.html

http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/pride/

http://www.austen.com/pride/

http://www.gradesaver.com/classicnotes/titles/pride/

http://www.novelguide.com/prideandprejudice/index.html

Some of the sites appear to be quite good, and some have complete analysis of the novel on them.

Thanks very much guys. Basically my main points are based around four different sections we have been given. Authorial Technique, Character, Setting, and Theme. I have also used several analogies to views on money and mairrage today and how society has changed signficantly with pride and prejudice reflecting this!

More work!! This is apart of my English work which i need help with.

Its on To Kill A Mockingbird and here is the question

Q) In what ways does the writer use Tom Robinson’s case to highlight the theme of prejudice within the novel?

Any help will be much appreciated, thank-you in advance. :-)

I have not read the novel, but is it not about a black man accused of raping a girl? Is he innocent, by the way?

Taken from that site:

It soon becomes clear why Atticus thinks education is so important. During his closing arguments Atticus explicitly acknowledges the ignorance blinding people's minds and hearts: "the witnesses for the state…have presented themselves to you gentlemen…in the cynical confidence that their testimony would not be doubted, confident that you gentlemen would go along with them on the…evil assumption…that all Negroes lie, that all Negroes are basically immoral beings, that all Negro men are not to be trusted around our women, an assumption one associates with minds of their caliber" (217). Education is the key to unlocking the ignorance that causes such prejudice. Jem begins to understand this lesson toward the end of the book when he wonders whether family status could be based more on education than on bloodlines.

[...]

The most important theme of Mockingbird remains the notion of prejudice in all of its forms. Clearly, with the Tom Robinson case, Lee's characters deal with racial prejudice head on. References to black men as "niggers" and "boys" persist throughout the book. Black people occupy the lowest class level of Maycomb society as Maycomb's white population of every class waste no time reinforcing their rigid class rules. The fact that Atticus realizes that he has no chance to win his case defending Tom because Tom is black offers the most explicit indicator of deep-rooted racism. His closing argument in Chapter Twenty clearly outlines Atticus's views on racism. However, Lee also shows us prejudice as it pertains to gender and social class.

I just googled for "To Kill a Mockingbird prejudice"

Yeah it is about a black man being falsely accused of raping a girl, when he was innocent. It’s a great book, but I am finding the essay question a bit difficult to answer.

Read on those sites I just posted for you.

Will have to buy that book one day.

[princess_in_pink]

It’s a great book and recommends it to anyone, it teaches you a lot about prejudice and racism and what is right and wrong. I can’t believe I am saying this and can’t even answer the question! Lol!
