My challenge would be done soon!



I have done so many works tonight, and I even wanted to appreciate myself. A lab report, my Spanish big test review, my English quiz review, and this blog have been waiting for me for a long day. How can I not appreciate myself? The hard works were mostly done, except this blog.

After my golf practice, I returned my room with my exhausted body, which worked hard for a whole day already. Then, I went to take a bath for waking my mind up. I didn’t know why the works were usually accumulated together. Then, using more than an hour to finish the terrible lab report and one more hour to review the whole “lesson 4” for Spanish, the works’ finishing comforted me a lot. However, there was still the “evil”, “endless” and “boring” reading challenge and the blog post stayed, and waited for my visiting. Actually I have thought about leaving the blog post for tomorrow, because it would due on tomorrow. But how can I know if there would be even more works for tomorrow? In China, there was an old saying that, “Never pull off till tomorrow what may be done today.” Thus, my dear 30-day challenge, I’m coming.

I had decided to watch the movie, Emma, for today, but I’ve already said that I seemed to be too busy tonight, and it wasn’t that easy to find the film. Then, I chose to talk a little bit about Mrs. Elton. Even thought many people in the book had described her as beautiful, clever and elegant, she reminded me Miss. Bingley. People who have read Pride and Prejudice must know her; she’s the sister of Jane’s husband. She was a minor character, who also loved Mr. Darcy, but the halo effect of our main character Elizabeth must kill her dream. Mrs. Elton was similar to Miss. Bingley, who was the second choice of Mr. Elton that Emma would never loved him, so he could only chose Mrs. Elton as the wife.

Was Mrs. Elton’s life a joke? Not really. She was rich, kind of pretty and had a good husband in her life. However, none of her skills were better than our main character. It wasn’t a big deal if people didn’t compare them, but Mrs. Elton just remained she in a little box, and only talked about her friend’s life or how she thought her life was. It was a tragedy that an arrogant woman has been written by an author as a minor character. Please don’t think that I was acerbity, I wasn’t aggressive. I just found it’s ridiculous for her to only stayed in her own world and imagined that she’s much better than the others. Well, although nothing might happen to this character, I didn’t think she would have a good life in the following story. Mr. Elton married her only because of her dowry, so when time passed, how can they continue their marriage successfully? I hoped life wouldn’t be so cruel on her.

The reading process was continuing! I’m going to read the ending of the book soon. I wish there would be a attractive ending to prove that I didn’t waste my time on it!
