Jane Austen

So I started to watch the movie the Jane Austen Book club but I didn't get the chance to finish, yet I know that the women find out their lives aren't so different from the lives of the Austen women. And just recently I thought wow, you know what my life isn't that different from them as well. I know that when I watched the films of the famous novels I mocked these lovely women because of how simple their lives where, but you know what, my life is not so different. I like to take turn abouts, talk to my friends, find out the recent news, walk in gardens, go to dance parties, and spend time with my family, so are these women really so different. In fact they were each brave in their own way, that their period would allow, talking out against pride or choosing love over money. These may seem like simple task today but are they really because our society still chooses money over love and supports pride. So I know that now I want to try and become like one of these great fictional characters and stand for what I can, though it might be more fitting to our times, like standing for Christ in the middle of a barrio or choosing to work for nothing because the Lord has sent me to a far off country. Yet whatever it is I think I have a lot to learn from these women and I will try my best to do so.
