Emma, Week 4

Dear Jane, 
You are an amazing author. I LOVE YOUR BOOK, "EMMA." It may, very easily, be my favorite book of all time. I am in love with it. It is so incredibly good, I just want to keep reading and reading and reading it forever and have it never ever end! I can't get enough of it. I have to force myself to stop reading it so that I don't get ahead of myself while reading it and so that I don't stay up until two in the morning reading it in bed with a flashlight. I love how similar it is to (unfortunately and pathetically) my life. It is so much like real life, I don't know how you captured it so perfectly in one plot. It just constantly amazes me, and I can't take it. I am currently at the part where Mr. Elton comes back from Bath with his new wife. It reminds Emma of her mistake in trying to match up him and Harriet. She feels exceedingly guilty as he remains around them. But, in this section, there has been a lot stuff that has happened to poor Emma. I feel so bad for her. She is just trying to be a good person and she's just trying to keep her social image up. These are kind of vain and selfish, but this is just how things were in her world. Those two things are what everyone was trying to do. I don't blame her, and I really hope things turn out alright for her. Because, in a way, Emma reminds me of myself this year. I have had a lot of dramas and problems in the social circle and with guys. It has been really difficult, and I've made some bad choices and mistakes in assuming things. I feel exactly like Emma does. What I've learned is that one can never assume anything about a relationship, because it will most likely be the wrong assumption. I think Emma (Woodhouse) has been slowly learning this lesson throughout the course of the book. It's something that takes a long time to learn, but it comes. I can't wait to read what happens to Emma in the end of the book.
