Pride and Prejudice Essay Topics Using Literature to Discuss Your Recent Experience
Pride and Prejudice Essay Topics: Using Literature to Discuss Your Recent ExperiencePride and Prejudice Essay Topics: Using Literature to Discuss Your Recent Experience is a book written by Tom Miley, which aims to create awareness in schools about Pride and Prejudice. This may seem like an unusual approach for a course but the book makes a very convincing case for it.So how is this book helping real students, and how is it helping teachers, teachers looking to use Literature to discuss current events, parents and teachers who want to get more out of their pupils? While it may be possible to take the book's format and apply it to real life situations, we are only going to talk about one aspect of the book here, the essays themselves.The main thesis of the book is that literature is very much of value in schools. That not only is it extremely valuable but it can be used to really help students to understand the issues that they are dealing with, and how to deal with them. By learning about the actual culture of the Victorian period and its main characters, they are learning about all aspects of that period and the time period it comes from.That being said, we have to talk about some of the ways that the author has used opinion literature to address the theme of Pride and Prejudice. The essays use what are called 'flash essay' format - they give a quick overview of a specific topic or concept.This means that the essay is written as if it were a response to an exam and students are given just over an hour to write up a draft, and then put into the hands of a teacher for assessment. What this means is that it is a great way for teachers to gauge how strong a student's ideas are, and whether they can think on their feet and have something to say in a short amount of time.Anotherbenefit of the flash essay format is that it helps to make the topic of the essay interesting to the reader - the book uses examples to demonstrate that the main characters were not always so flawed. It also helps to show how people could work together in such a bad situation, even if their opinions were occasionally at odds.As with any other writing exercise, this is not a writer's attempt to try and make the entire essay appear great. It is all about getting students to think about what they have been told and what they have heard about the subject matter at hand.For example, in real life, sometimes people do not see eye to eye. But that does not mean that they should ignore their differences - they should work towards reconciliation and instead of judging others, see the best in them.
