Picking a mate

I believe that the best questions asked in class were the ones that focused on financial issues, as well as the ones that we focused on family history and upbringing.
I thought that these two types of questions provoked the most group discussion and allowed for people to bring up their different views and ideas.
What I enjoyed about our class lead discussion was that it put responsibility on us students to take change and become leaders. This activity also allowed for the students who are more withdrawn to participate and engage without the fear of saying the wrong answer. In this discussion there was no wrong answer, just different opinions.

1st Body Paragraph

Sciety in the time of this book was obviously consumed in social class as well as gender superiority. A woman was to typically get only one offer of marriage in a lifetime. This unfortunate true gave the women of that time a sense of desperation when seeking a husband. Furthermore, women did not have the option of picking who their spoce would be, their marriage was either arrainged or they would have to wait until a man chose them. In this novel gender and class are what give a person power. Darcy in particular is a man of great wealth who looks to be a viable candidate for marriage. However, his smug attitude and pompous demeaner made him unattractive to Mrs. Bennit who forbid Elizabeth from being with him. Although class and gender are primary factors in terms of social power and importance, first impressions also count for a lot. While Mrs.Bennit would have been thrilled if Elizabeth were to marry him, his distasteful attitude gave Elizabeth an upper hand in their relationship. While at fist Darcy was the one that needed to be impressed, her sharp remarks and nonshalant attitude intrigued him so much that she is now the one who must be impressed. 

Intro paragraph

While Darcy clearly has the upper hand when looking at his social status and gender, Elizabeth's feisty attitude gives her more power in regards to their relationship. Pride and Prejudice takes place in a time where class and gender meant everything. Woman were to be married off and typically would not get more that one offer of marriage in a lifetime. While woman in the 21st century do not need to marry a man to provide themselves with economic stability, in the time in which this book takes place woman were required to find a wealthy husband in order to live a decent life. Elizabeth's quest for love makes her particularly intriguing to Mr.Darcy. Her desire to marry a man who she loves however, is not typical for a woman of her time. Although Elizabeth is socially viewed as inferior to Mr. Darcy, her self respect and bold personality giver her the advantage in their controversial romance.
