Le gasp! BBC brought out a new Emma mini series last year. I recommend everyone watch it. Most likely it isn't 100% accurate, but it's really good! This is one of my favourite Austen adaptations, it's very lively. If any of you watch Atonement for lit (or just to watch it for fun) the girl who plays the 20 year old version of Briony is the one who plays this Emma.

About Philosophy

When I see a youth thus engaged,—the study appears to me to be in character, and becoming a man of liberal education, and him who neglects philosophy I regard as an inferior man, who will never aspire to anything great or noble. But if I see him continuing the study in later life, and not leaving off, I should like to beat him - Callicle

I did watch the BBC series, the guy who played Knightly did very well :D
I got the audiobook from http://librivox.org/ on my iPod too, which has made it that little bit easier.

I'm up to chapter 8 in volume one,
I don't know, I just really don't like Austen.
I had to study Pride and Prejudice for year 10 lit... but I still haven't read it. xD

This is why I'm trying my very hardest to get through it now, and get that Lit score up.

I know. Even though (in real life) he's old enough to be my father....

Definately. I think I'm the only person in my class who actually liked Atonement, it's weird as. We're doing the SAC for that on text vs. text. Comparing the book to the movie. And I really struggle with those essays, so I'll need all the help I can get xD

This year for Literature I'm doing:

Frankenstein - Mary Shelly
The Rose Notes - Andrea Mayes
Wolf Notes - Judith Beveridge
The Tempest - William Shakespeare
Wide Sargasso Sea - Jean Rhys

I decided to pick Literature up this year because English was one of my strongest subjects in Year 11. It's interesting doing such a subject where you have almost complete freedom with your writing. I still haven't quite got my head around it yet; I probably work better with directions and a set structure. The variety of novels I'm reading though, should make Literature this year quite enjoyable!
