Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time. She perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters. The characters have their own personalities. Mrs. Bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters. Mr. Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr. Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior. Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different. Jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others. Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion. Mary likes reading classic books. (Actually she is a pedant. Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia. Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century.
The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen’s favourite topic. But this little topic can reflect big problems. It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century. You can find these from the very beginning of this book.
The first sentence in this book is impressive. It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in poss ession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”. The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.
People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories. In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs. After reading this book, I know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man.
I couldn’t forget how eager Mrs. Bennet wants to marry off her daughte rs. If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time. Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions. Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives. Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.
In “Pride and Prejudice”, the sister of Mr. Bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying Jane because the Bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them. From this, we can see there are a lot of obstacles for a not very rich woman to marry a wealthy husband. The society, the relatives would not allow them to get married.
In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind. A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages. Education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one’s marriage. Marry for money is still a big problem in our
society. We can’t help thinking: can money determine everything?
Austen left this problem for us to think. The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems. Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively. The plots in her works are always very natural. The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics. I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic. Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.

我们所说的“学”就是指学习。“又得学了、又要开学了、得去学校了……”“学”对几乎每个人来说都是一件难事儿，不仅仅是你一个人，而是所有人。
“学”在字典中是这样解释的：学习、模仿、学问、学校、姓。用“学”字组词，可以组成“学养”、“学习”、“学者”、“学富五车”、“学贯中西”……在《现代汉语词典》中占据了一页半之多。
不想学，是每个人都想过的事儿。“学习——除了无聊还是无聊，除了磨耗还剩磨耗，何必在这‘监狱’里等耗呢？我就是个笨蛋，学不学这没什么用。你看我那个同学小学毕业就出去打工了，现在工资那么高，天天诺埃尔开心，而我只能在这儿学些这么些无趣的东西，真是浪费时间。苦命的我啊！”这也许就是不想去学校的原因吧。
但是“学”是每个人多必须做的事情。从出生起的牙牙学语、蹒跚学步到现在的知书达理，哪一步不是学来的。既然来到了学校，为什么在这儿浪费时间呢？学也是在学校学，不学也得在学校学，既然出钱来这儿了，既然也必须得到学校了，那何必在学校耗着呢？还不如学一点儿东西呢！来到了学校，出了学费，既然付钱了，为什么不好好利用呢；既然出钱了，那就必须出得值，不能让学校赚了。还有，现在不学，等真正长大后，就得出的钱来学习，以弥补如今没有学到的东西，又何必出这冤枉钱呢。
学是为了谁？仅仅是为了自己吗？仅仅是为了让自己一时快乐吗？不，学是为了自己的将来，为了自己的命运。学习不是为了父母，更不是为了老师、他人，学习是为了自己。试想一下：如果现在没学好，那将来你会是什么样子的呢？百万富翁、高福帅、百富美还是蚁族，甚至变为乞丐呢？有谁想过呢？大学有一门课程，叫做“职业规划”，是专门让学生规划自己人生的一门课程，是让学生对掌握未来方向的一门课程。我认为这门课程应该从小学开始上，到大学才接触已经迟了，已经不知到该干什么啦，或者对自己的所作所为已经成为“为什么当初我不能……”这样的了。学是为了自己！
学习有很多好处，如：可以改变老师对自己的印象，让老师认为自己是一个好学生，当遇到一件事情的时候，老师就会不由自主的偏向你；当你遇到问题的时候，老师就会一直惦记你；当老师遇到好处的.时候，第一个想到的就是你……当一个好学生，当遇到一件对自己不利的事情的时候，首先排除的就是你，可以避免不必要的麻烦；当遇见好好事的时候，第一个想到的就是你，人们第一反应就是你办的……好处很多，不在此一一举例。
这就是“学”，一个让你受益终身的东西。你知道为什么要“学”了吗？
