Is Pride and Prejudice worth it?
Yes I believe Pride and Prejudice is worth reading. It was not my favorite book to read because it was a little slow in the beginning but I ended up enjoying it. This book is a great literary work and while it may not be for everyone it's well written. Students should be excited about learning and feel proud about reading a classic. The fact that some students were saying that Jane Austen uses to big of words is really sad. I mean seriously there is a wonderful invention called THE DICTIONARY! Plus if you continue reading you can get the jist of what the word means. I can understand how some students say that her reading can be laborious but it picks up a lot during the second half of the book. All in all I truly believe Pride and Prejudice is worth reading it is a classic.
