Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice Turns 200

“You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.” - Mr. Darcy

On January 28, 1813, Jane Austen’s publisher Thomas Egerton released her second novel, Pride and Prejudice. Austen finished writing the novel in 1797 under the title First Impressions, but after prospective publishers declined to even see the manuscript, she heavily edited the story over the following 14 years until Egerton bought it for £110 ($172 present-day USD). Today marks the beginning of festivals, conferences and Austen readathons that “Janeites” have planned throughout the year to celebrate the story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy’s tumultuous courtship. Two centuries later, Pride and Prejudice remains one of the most-taught and best-loved classics in Western literature.

Keep an eye on the Jane Austen Centre and Jane Austen’s Home location pages for photos from the upcoming festivals.

“I’m here with a simple message: I’m here with you in the fight. For even as we face extraordinary challenges as a nation, we cannot - and we will not - put aside issues of basic equality.”

- President Barack Obama
Thank you Mr. President!

Where Change Comes From

Do you want a President who thinks change comes from you? Or one who has totally written you off?

So this happened today.

I work as an intern for the Obama Campaign office. I closed the office last night, and this morning the first thing I woke up to was a phone call from my supervisor asking if I saw anything out of the ordinary last night. The reason for his call?

Someone threw rocks through our office window.

Sigh.

Living in Utah, I come from a very conservative community. Our office is the only office for the Obama campaign in the state. We know we aren’t going to win the campaign in Utah, and our efforts are focused in Colorado, but still someone in the area found the need to vandalize our efforts, because of the hatred that they feel for us.

However, I don’t feel the need to get angry about it. I’ve decided instead to take a different approach. Rather than devoting energy to being upset, I am instead strengthening my resolution to support President Obama. There is no need to be angry. Anger and bitterness never got anyone anywhere. As Martin Luther King, Jr., one of the greatest activists of the last century, said,

“Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”

So I will simply accept that it happened, strengthen my resolution, and move on. I believe positive efforts bring forward positive results, and I believe that what Obama stands for is positivity and a desire to move forward. So I will do my best to represent that in the way I promote his campaign and in this situation.

Obama 2012, everyone. Obama 2012. :)

Ever since being sorted in Pottermore, I have become more and more like a Slytherin every day. I take great pride in being a member of such a noble house; even though most of my friends are either Gryffindor or Hufflepuff.

I was super shocked when I was sorted into Slytherin! I love it though :)
