I have decided to read Emma by Jane Austen, this quarter for outside reading. I've always wanted to read it, partly because of its name and partly because of Jane Austen writing it. Obviously, I like the title because it's my own name. When I was little, I thought the book was about me, so I always wanted to read it, and then my mom showed me how long it was and I got really disappointed. Then, the stubborn child I was, my parents got it on tape for me to listen to in the car and on my walkman. I didn't understand a word of it. So, now, I do understand it, and I get to read it! Secondly, I have read other books by Jane Austen, such as Pride and Prejudice, and I've also read books by the Bronte sisters, who have similar styles and themes to Austen. As little as I know about Emma's plot and story right now, I am really excited to read it and it sounds like a really good book. I'm going to love it!
