Pride and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice was always one of those books that I wanted to read but never had the chance to. I absolutley love the movie version with Kiera Knightly and figured with a movie this good the book had to be pretty decent. I misjudged the book at first because I thought that since it was written like a million years ago that it was going to be hard to understand. I have read books in the past that were written around the same time period and the way they are written is so hard to follow. When I started reading the book I found it easier to follow than I imagined, but there were still some words I had never seen before and some of the language is different than I was used to. I finished reading the first chapters that we needed to be completed for Tuesday and I was prepared for class. I woke up that morning and found that the snow in my backyard had doubled, luckily it wasn't my turn to drive that day. After I got out of the shower I checked my phone to find a text message from everyone that I carpool with saying that they were not going to school due to the weather. I had to brave the weather on my own. This didn't turn out too well because I got stuck at the end of my driveway and the back end of my car was half-way in the street. There was no way that I was going to make it to school now. Instead of going to class I read the next reading assignment and while I was reading I had the urge to watch the movie. I was amazed to find how similar the movie is to the book. They even took lines from the book and put them in the movie. Although the movie was a little condenced and lacked some of the same things in the book I found that it was very close. I am picky when it comes to books turned into movies because sometimes they totally change the whole book.
