I was supposed to create this space ages ago, after Hari Raya Aidifitri to be exact. But somehow or rather things got in the way. So, if you have forgotten what this thing is all about, let me put this down here and now. Yeah, I know it takes ages to reach the last page. That is the reason why I have assigned each person to read 1 chapter. We begin with Ma. Oooopss...she's gone, dissipated into another world that perhaps Go, Pu and Mo can provide us with further news on her whereabouts.
The next person available is Ik. Ik is going to read for us chapter 1 and then summarizes that chapter highlighting any important events or important speech. We will go down the list until we reach Nul who will read for us chapter 50.
Great stuffs huh? Enjoy

ReplyDeleteChapter 14. Sense & Sensibility
In this chapter, there are two important events that occurred. The chapter starts with Colonel Brandon's sudden termination from visit at the Park and this creates curiosity in Mrs. Jennings. " Something very melancholy must be the matter, I am sure,'said she.' I could see it in his face. Poor man! I am afraid his circumstances may be bad. This also indicates one of the important events in this chapter. This is a foreshadow of something which would be revealed soon in other chapters.
The second event in this chapter is where Willoughby is trying to get closer to Marianne and the rest of the people there. Willoughby's statements seem sincere and heartfelt, and do declare a real fondness for Marianne, her family and Barton Cottage." There certainly are circumstances,'said Willoughby,' which might greatly endear it to me; but this place will always have one claim on my affection which no other can possibly share. Mrs Dashwood looked with pleasure at Marianne, whose fine eyes were fixed so expressively on Willoughby.
Willoughby's unusually free and affectionate address indicates that Marianne and he will soon be engaged. However, there is aome evasiveness in his behaviour that might soon destroy his relationship with Mariannne.

ReplyDeleteSAW HUA JI - 150187
In this chapter, i think the happiest person will be Elinor. This is because in this chapter, Edward will revealed that he is not the one who is married. Before this, she is troubled with the news that Edward and Lucy are getting married. She even hope that Edward still remained single and there is something happened which prevent Edward and Lucy marriage. But there is no news that comes to her and this one day where she expecting Colonel Brandon to visit them, it turns out to be Edward. The whole Dashwood family are "excited" with his visit and they did ask about his wife. He informs them that it is his brother who has been married to Lucy, and not him. Elinor immediately runs from the room, crying out of joy; Edward then senses Elinor's regard for him, and is very happy too.
I think that the most important speech in this chapter is "Perhaps you do not know - you may not have heard that my brother is lately married to - to the youngest - to Miss Lucy Steele."

In this chapter, Marianne deals with great sorrow as Mrs. Jennings comes with the news of Willoughby's fiance, Miss Grey. It is told that Willoughby and Miss Grey will be married soon: "Aye, it is but too true. He is to be married very soon - a good-for-nothing fellow!". Despite of the news, Marianne tried to be calm. After that, Mrs. Jennings tells that Colonel Brandon might be Marianne's fovourite. Indeed, Colonel Brandon come to visit Marianne with a great concern towards her.

This second last chapter marks two significant events. The first one is when Edward heads for Barton to propose Elinor to marry him as he is no longer engaged to Lucy Steele. Elinor promptly accept it and Edward gains Mr. Dashwood’s consent to the match during the afternoon. Edward also confesses his regret over the engagement which he thought was formed out of idleness. The whole family is happy that Edward got an honourable release from his engagement and that Elinor and Edward are to be wed. the decision ultimately puts Elinor at ease as she fears of loosing Edward forever.
The second event in this chapter is about the letter from Lucy that Edward receives after leaving London. Lucy tells that she has married his brother, Robert. Edward straight away sets out for Borton and Colonel Brandon soon comes to visit. They can get along together and go to Delaford to see Edward’s new home. Due to financial constraint, Edward decides to meet his family for reconciliation and regain financial support from them.

In this chapter, Marianne was shocked when she heard the news about Edward Ferrars’ secret engagement with Lucy Steele. She approached Elinor to tell the news and even shocked when Elinor told her that she has already known about it for four months. Marianne was surprised of Elinor’s strength in covering her sadness and burden while helping her in overcoming her problems. Elinor said that she still loves Edward even though he is now belongs to another girl. The next morning John Dashwood visits her sisters and informs about Fanny is in hysterics because of the news, and also about Mrs. Ferrars decision. She wanted Edward to have no relationship with Lucy, or she will disown and disinherit him. However, Edward refuses to do so. As a result, his mother dismissed him from his right to the heritage, and his little brother will take his position.

Chapter 32 centres in Marianne and Elinor where Elinor tries to comfort Marianne by re-telling her stories of Colonel Brandon's past memories. Marianne listens without any remarks to it but the tears. In addition, to avoid anything bad happen to both Willoughby & Marianne, Elinor suggests her to be anywhere but Barton to give her new strength and to forget about the lost.
Elinor again faces a hard time of telling her sister that Willoughby is married and he left soon after the wedding. However, there's no more tears in her. She is now trying to understand and she learns to accept the truth in it.

This chapter starts with the describing of Mrs. Jennings as a widow with two daughters. She has a significant way of noticing in attachment. Sooner and later, she notes that Colonel Brandon is in love with Marianne. She notices it when Colonel Brandon is listening to Marianne’s singing attentively. Mrs. Jennings decides to get them together and thinks that they might a good match. She exists as a busybody figure which suggested by her interest in socialization rather than any other things. After that, this chapter talks about the conversation between Marianne and her sister, Elinor. Marianne thinks that Colonel is too old for her and she is now in the period of desperation of romanticism. She needs passion where by this might not be able to fulfill by Colonel Brandon. She thinks that someone who was 27 would have lost his or her passion.

I first chapter....the Dashwood family is introduced; they live at Norland Park, an estate in Sussex, which has been in their family for many years. Henry Dashwood has a son by a previous marriage, who is well-off because of his long-deceased mother's fortune; Mr. Dashwood also has three daughters by his present wife, who are left with very little when he dies and the estate goes to his son. Before Mr. Dashwood dies, he asks his son to promise to help his step-mother, and John Dashwood agrees; however, his son John is also selfish, and fails to really help his step-mother and half-sisters as he promised to do
Chapter 16.
ReplyDeleteIn this chapter, Marianne was feeling so down after Willoughby’s abrupt departure. Her family was very curious about the extent of the relationship between the two lovebirds; especially when Marianne received no letter from the lad. In this chapter too, Edward came to visit the Dashwoods, whom Marianne first believed to be Willoughby.
I believed the most important speech in this chapter is the one spoke by Elinor, where she expressed just how much she loved her sister: “I know Marianne's heart: I know that she dearly loves me, and that I shall not be the last to whom the affair is made known, when circumstances make the revealment of it eligible. I would not attempt to force the confidence of any one; of a child much less; because a sense of duty would prevent the denial which her wishes might direct.”

Chapter 11
This chapter centers on the now more stable life of the Dashwoods. Sir John had them preoccupied with balls, parties and every other social engagements. For every event they attended, Willoughby was invited too. Hence, his attachment to Marianne grew, and Marianne, on the other hand, soon forgets her homesickness for Norland. Elinor however was not as happy. Having moved to Barton, she misses Edward dreadfully. The only person she found closest to being agreeable with is Colonel Brandon, whom she regards highly. As they became friends, she develops greater compassion for him for she believes he has experienced disappointed love before, like how she did with Edward.
The highlight of this chapter focuses on the differences between the two Dashwood sisters: Elinor and Marianne. We were given glimpse of Elinor’s thoughts and what is assumed to be Marianne’s. As the former represents ‘Sense’ and the latter, ‘Sensibility’, it is evident in this chapter the contrast between them. ‘Sense’, as according to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, means the ability to think clearly while ‘Sensibility’ is the ability to experience and understand deep feelings. Marianne openly displays her affection for Willoughby but Elinor deemed it should have been more restrained: “She only wished that it were less openly shown…But Marianne abhorred all concealment where no real disgrace could attend unreserved…” In another instance, we see Elinor’s self-restrain in reading too much into things (here in this chapter, into Colonel Brandon’s past) while Marianne is believed that she would concoct a whole story out of what was told. “Elinor attempted no more. But Marianne, in her place, would not have done so little. The whole story would have been speedily formed under her active imagination…” As Classic Notes call it, these two sisters are the ‘dramatic foils’ of each other. They represent opposite extremes in terms of who they are and what they believe.

Chapter 43
The main event here is about Marianne illness. Marianne ill became worse than was previously thought, and the Palmer's doctor is sent for. Mrs. Jennings chooses to stay and look after Marianne; helps Elinor nurse and take care of Marianne in their mother's absence. As Mr. Harris declared Marianne is ready to leave, on the third day of her illness, somehow she become ill back in the evening and it is worse than ever. She always mumbling about her mother and kept asking Elinor, “Is Mama Coming?”Mrs. Jennings and others fear that Marianne might die from her illness. So Elinor is alarmed at Marianne's state, and decides that their mother must be sent for. Colonel Brandon offers to go and get her, and Elinor accepts this proposal.Here we can see how concern ELinor towards Marianne and both of the, even though very different, they really love and need each other.
The second event is when Marianne's state improves after a few bad days, which cheers Elinor. Elinor now expects Colonel Brandon and her mother to arrive at any moment; but, when a carriage arrives that night, Elinor is shocked to find that the one who come is Willoughby!

Chapter 39
Publisher: Vintage Classics
Each chapter in this novel marks some significant events,even so with Chapter 37. In this chapter, the major event would be the mis assumption by Mrs.Jennings about the relationship between Elinor and the Colonel. This can be discovered in the beginning of paragraph 3, page 270, Chapter 3, Volume 3,"Ah, Colonel, I do not know what you and I shall do without the Miss Dashwoods".Mrs.Jennings assumed that the Colonel liked Elinor when he came; looking for her. Therefore, she came up with such statement. Mrs.Jennings personally took it wrong as she did not know that Elinor liked Edward. It was utterly a wrong speculation.However, the truth they both are us good friend.
Another event that took place at the same time was a very poignant one. It was the conversation between Elinor and Colonel Brandon. They were talking about the marriage of Edward Ferrar with Ms. Steele. the evidence can be found in the last paragraph of page 273, Chapter 3, Volume 3,"By which the Colonel was surprised to find that she was considering Mr.Ferrar's marriage as the certain consequence of the presentation". Elinor came to a point where she concluded that she would not be able to be together with the only one man that she doted the most.
These two events are some of the important ones.They make the readers more curious and keep them driven to finish the story to discover hoe the ending would be. The first event which was a mis assumption by Mrs' Jennings and the second one; Elinor lost of hope towards her love were answered towards the end of the story.

ReplyDeleteYes, watching the movie I began to love the most the scene where the truth is revealed from Edward.Elinor in her very wake always worried that Edward will marry Lucy. In her own helplessness, she hopes that Edward and Lucy will never marry and that the marriage will be stopped until one day, while waiting for the Colonel to come back, something happened. It was Edward not the Colonel who came at that time. Edward told the truth and I was very touched to see how happy and relieved Elinor was.

Willoughby begins to visit them everyday and makes his relationship with Marianne closer. somehow, Elinor has a different view of Willoughby and very upset when Marianne and Willoughby underestimate Colonel Brandon.
in this chapter, we could see that the different view of Elinor and Marianne. this can be related to the theme "sense and sensibility". Marianne seems lack in limiting herself where she knows she should. on the other hand, Elinor lacks in boldness and passion to express her own feelings with confidence.

Elinor and Marianne go on an errand to Gray's, the jeweler in town. They are annoyed by the presence of an impolite coxcomb who stands before them in line and orders an elaborate toothpick case. As Elinor at last conducts her business, her brother enters the shop. John Dashwood confesses that he has been in town for two days but has not had time to visit his sisters. The next day, John pays a visit to his sisters at Mrs. Jennings's home. He takes a long walk with Elinor, during which he informs her that he would be very glad if she married Colonel Brandon. Elinor assures him that she has no intentions of doing so, but John insists on the desirability of the match. He also comments that Mrs. Ferrars expects her son, Edward, to marry the wealthy daughter of Miss Morton. Finally, Edward notes that Marianne's appearance has declined considerably in her time of misery, and thus she will no longer be able to find quite so wealthy a husband.

Edward stayed a week at the cottage and feel happy. He doesn’t want to go back to town-Norland/London. In this chapter we can see that his family is controlling him. This can be found from line
“I always preferred the church, as I still do. But that was not smart enough for my family. They recommended the army. That was a great deal too smart for me.”
His family expected him to be an army officer, which is not suits him. In this chapter we also can see the differences between Elinor and Marianne characteristic. Elinor is a calm person and she is good in handling her feeling unlike her sister, Marianne. Marianne act differently when Willoughby absence and go back to town.

ReplyDeleteCHAPTER 12
In this chapter,the important event that i've noticed is when Elinor learns from Marianne. Willoughby has given her a horse which he bred on his estate in Somersetshire.This gift from Willoughby seems to be very expensive and very much inappropriate. The Dashwoods do not have the money to care for a horse.
Somehow, Marianne insists the gift is completely innocent. Elinor can only persuade Marianne to give up the horse by convincing her of how much stress its' care would place upon their mother.Elinor was concerned about their financial status which is giving them alot of bruden in caring for themselves.A horse in addition to be taken care of is an extra burden. This even shows that Willoughby is trying his best to woo Marrianne with expensive gifts which made Marrianne to love him even more than ever.
In this chapter as well,the topic romance shows that Marianne believes that it does not take a long time to become intimate with a person. If they have the right personality, it can happen in moments.With the presentation of gifts to show his love to Marriane,Elinor no longer doubts Willoughby and Marianne to be engaged.The doubt of this is further confirmed when Margaret tells her how she saw Willoughby beg a lock of hair from Marianne, and that Marianne agreed.
I have also realized in this chapter,that one should never judge a person very quickly like what Mariaane did and had her heart broken at the end of this novel.

From this chapter, it tells that Marianne has recovered from her illness, and Colonel Brandon is invited to see her, so that she can thank him for bringing her mother. She certainly acts more kind to Colonel Brandon, and he leaves when Dashwoods do, promising to visit them again.
The important is Marianne has finally changed her attitude and behavior. She becomes calm and happy, which Elanor observes with particular satisfaction, and with hope that Marianne is recovered from Willoughby’s rejection. Although Marianne shows signs of sadness at being reminded of Willoughby by being at Barton, she tries to forget about him and be more mature.
Marianne finally speaks of Willoughby, and she wishes she knew that he felt something for her. Elanor decides she must take the opportunity to tell her about what Willoughby had said and Marianne takes it well.
She regrets her mistakes of being selfish toward Elanor and all people around her. She really wants to fix what she had done before as she has learned from her experience and behaviour.

In this chapter, the Dashwoods moved to a new area and new home, Barton Cottage. They find it small but comfortable, though it’s not the same as they thought to be. They meet the landlord Sir John Middleton and his wife, Lady Middleton. This chapter highlights the expectations of the characters and the reality that they are facing at the moment. They have to adapt to the new area and with less income.
Chapter 9
ReplyDeleteIn this chapter, Willoughby is little more like "romantic stranger" character thrown into this chapter. He appears easily, and nothing is known about him. But, the fact that Willoughby appears to be the perfect romantic figure also foreshadows that he will of course have failings; he has to be too good to be true, or else he cannot be a realistic character at all. Because of this I think that the event of Mr. Willoughby helps Marianne who stumbles and twist her ankle when running home in the rain with Margaret is the important scene in chapter 9.

I want to highlight this chapter more towards Elinor. As we know in the previous chapter both Elinor and Edward had a thing but could not convey it in words towards each other. Then, in this chapter Lucy reveals that she is engaged to Edward. The engagement, though, is a secret to all but Lucy's sister and now Elinor; Elinor questions Lucy to try and prove that this is not true, but it turns out that it was Lucy that Edward had visited in Plymouth before his arrival at Barton, and Lucy says she gave him a ring with a lock of hair, which Elinor and Marianne had noticed him wearing. It is a great deal to Elinor as she needs to hide her grief and disappointment as well as the secret engagement. In my opinion, Elinor is really a great character in compared to Marriane who can express her grief and disappointment with Willoughby. Maybe this characteristic suit Elinor best as she is the oldest among the three.

Mrs. Jennings in this chapter tries to persuade Elinor and Marianne to tag along with her to London during the winter. Elinor however decline the invitation by saying they cannot leave their mother. Elinor thinks Mrs. Jennings is in lower social that make them feel inferior in the party. Marianne on the other hand feels very delighted with the offer and directly saying yes to it. Elinor, the big sister who has better sense and rationale justify her decision to both Marianne and Mrs Jennings. After convinced my Mrs. Dashwood that they are allowed to leave for London, then Elinor at ease and heave hearted leaves Barton.
This short yet significant instance sparks anothe rthought of the imortance of being at higher social class. In Mrs. Jennings case, she is considered as out of league in order to attend the party. Thanks to Lady Middleton because they will likely visit often with Lady Middleton, who is of a high class, Mrs. Dashwood sees no harm, and Elinor and Marianne prepare to leave.
Elinor refusal and Marianne excitement highlights their two extreme values. Elinor gives deep though on something and likelihood to put family's business before anything else. Play as the eldest in the siblings, Elinor doesn't disappoint readers by wearing the best attitude ever. Unlike Elinor, Marianne is rather outspoken, daring and voice her thoughts out. She prefers to express her feelings thus differ herself from Elinor. Chapter 25 contains crucial scene that highlight the theme 'sense and sensibility',credit to legendary writer Jane Austen.

ReplyDeleteIn this Chapter, the party was suppose to go for a picnic but they ended up not going at all because Colonel Brandon got a distressing call which called for his immediate attention. Apparently, the matter was so urgent that he had to leave right away and attend to it. The secrecy which surrounds Colonel Brandon in this chapter stirs up curiosity amongst readers. Could it be that Colonel Brandon too has a hidden past?
The chapter continues on with the entire party going for a drive without Colonel Brandon. Marianne is growing increasingly more reckless in her relationship with John Willoughby. Her sister, Elinor is afraid that she might get hurt. Marianne probably assumes too much and is throwing caution to the win, dismissing the advice and worries expressed by her sister. Indeed, here we can see the stark difference between how Elinor and Marianne approach love, commitment and relationship.

Marianne was inspired by Elinor's self-reproach and self-correction. She was hoping that by doing that things, she would get rid of any gossips. The presence of Miss Steele in this chapter again, shows her low manners, so as her sister. Their behaviour also showed that they are not suitable with a good man like Edward. In this chapter, Lucy really shows who she is. She tried to make Elinor down by kept on telling about the engagement. She seems so selfish to act like that as she was trying to test Elinor's patience.

On this chapter, Elinor is horrified at seeing Willoughby there, and shocked when he says his only business is with her. Willoughby says he led Marianne on out of vanity, and didn't know that she actually loved him, he finally began to love her as well. Willoughby also tries to excuse himself for seducing and dumping Miss Williams, Colonel Brandon's ward, although he is making poor excuses for his truly inexcusable behavior.
Apparently, he also avoided them while they were in town, and watched them to make sure he wouldn't stumble on them accidentally. He also says that the letter he sent Marianne was written by his wife, again attempting to excuse his cruel behavior. Elinor cannot think him a total blackguard since he has been heavily punished for all his mistakes, and now must endure a loveless marriage for the sake of money. Willoughby leaves with this assurance, lamenting that Marianne is lost to him forever.

i think this is one of the important chapters in the novel. this is because in this chapter we can see the reply of Marianne's letter to Willoughby. in this chapter, Marianne received the replied letter from Willoughby and rushed to her room to read it. when Elinor came to the room and read the letter, she was surprised by the content of the letter. Willoughby did not mention of his feeling towards Marianne, he apologized for the way he behaved during the night where Marianne went to meet him. in the end of the chapter, Marianne asked Elinor to go back home.

Chapter 1
During Victorian days, where the novel sets, money and possession go from father to sons, not to daughters.therefore, when Mr. Dashwood dies, his wife and three daughters – Elinor, Marianne and Margaret – inherits only £500 a year, with the bulk of the estate of Norland Park left to his son John from a previous marriage. John's scheming, greedy, snobbish wife Fanny immediately installs herself and her spouse in the palatial home and invites her brother Edward Ferrars to stay with them. She frets about the budding friendship between Edward and Elinor and does everything she can to prevent it from developing.

Chapter 24
In Chapter 24, Elinor does her best to convince Lucy that she was not offended by her action. And Lucy is very glad with that.
Lucy and Elinor discusses about Edward's dependence on his mother and the engagement. Lucy, being childish as she comment on Edward's love toward Elinor. Elinor on the other hand, tries her best to pretend to be neutral on those comments given. Lucy came up with an idea, suggesting that Edward should work at the church, adn Elinor to help him. Elinor, nodded, agrees but she dont think she can help much.

Chapter 31
Elinor tells Marianne of the Colonel's story, and though Marianne is now convinced of Willoughby's guilt, it does not ease her mind. Marianne also stops avoiding the Colonel's company and becomes more civil to him, which is a positive development. They receive word from their mother, who thinks coming back to Barton at such a time would only remind Marianne constantly of Willoughby; they are to remain in town for the time being. Mrs. Palmer and Sir John, although they do not mention Willoughby in Marianne's company, express their great distaste for him to Elinor; they resolve to break off their acquaintance with him forever. Willoughby is soon married, which Marianne is grieved to hear; then, the Miss Steeles come to town, much to Elinor's regret.

CHAPTER 36
in this chapter, Fanny's friend, Mrs. Dennison, invites her and John to a musical party and extends the invitation to the Dashwood girls, under the mistaken assumption that the girls are living with their half-brother's family. There, Elinor is introduced to Mr. Robert Ferrars and discovers that he is the very same mean man who stood before her in line at the jewelers. At the party, it occurs to John to invite his sisters to stay at his house in London, but Fanny objects on the grounds that she had just been planning to invite Anne and Lucy Steele to visit. Elinor worries that perhaps this invitation is a sign that Fanny has decided to support Lucy's engagement to her brother, Edward.

CHAPTER 3
The difference of ideas about men between Marianne and Elinor can be seen in this chapter. We can see the 'sense' in Marianne as she preferred a man more passionate compared to Edward and the 'sensibility' presented in Elinor's ideas of man and marriage. Before that, Mrs. Dashwood and her family had to find an affordable house for them to stay. It was difficult for them to find one to fit their income.
