It’s hard to maintain a blog when one is so busy all the time. This week alone I had to deal with five midterms and an essay that was due by today.
I have been wanting for these past few days to fast forward in time so that I could sit down and watch one of my favorite movies of all time, Pride and Prejudice. Recently I’ve been watching this nicely edited music video that shows most of the romantic encounters of Mr. Darcy and Mrs. Elizabeth Bennet throughout the movie. I dare say that I do love a good love story! I can’t help feeling emotional and excited every time their eyes meet. It’s just wonderful to see their chemistry at such an exhilarating speed and with such a great song giving meaning to every moment.I especially love the part when the sun hit's Darcy's face as he returns a warm,sweet smile to Elizabeth. It could be true what they say, that such relationships only come around ones in a million years, but I’d like to believe that we are all capable and deserving of attaining that one person whom we wish to love and be loved in return by our entire lives.
By the way, I have decided to make Pride and Prejudice the anchor text I will be building upon for my Unit Plan on Literature. It's so exciting to create a unit were I get to teach something that I love!
For me I personally I don't think you can go past Jane Eyre. Have you seen the most recent BBC version, it's a miniseries, but so good you have to watch it from start to finish.
ReplyDeleteSo are you an English teacher? I imagine that would be pretty awesome. Pretty challenging though, can't imagine something much harder to be honest.
