PRIDE AND PREJUDICE

Pride and Prejudice is the story of Elizabeth Bennet, the daughter of an English country gentleman, who meets Mr. Darcy, a rich landowner. At first, Elizabeth hates him and thinks he is proud, but slowly her feelings start to change.

This book teaches us many things about love and life and about how people lived in the past. In my opinion, knowledge of our past is really necessary…

I’m not a huge fan of romance, but I enjoyed every single page of this wonderful novel, and truly did not wanted it to end! I would recommend this book to anyone. 

Books or movies?

I prefer movies. Why?

First, let’s agree that some movies are pieces of art. Creating a movie is as much of an artistic act as it is to write a book. 

Movies do come with certain advantages and there’s a reason why they are so popular nowadays. 

Here are some examples:

1. It takes less time to watch a movie than to read a book;
2. Movies are more visually stimulating;
3. The actors can bring the characters to life.

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES

The series is set in the fictional town of Mystic Falls, Virginia, a town charged with supernatural history. It follows the life of Elena Gilbert, a teenage girl who has just lost both parents in a car accident, as she falls in love with two 162 and 170-years-old vampire brothers named Stefan and Damon Salvatores.

,,The Vampire Diaries’’ is one of my favorite series. Between the book and the series there are so many differences. For example, in the book, the characters are described differently, and in the series they are completely different.

I liked the series more, because the actors’ emotions and manners made me more interested in the series. 

Elizabeth Bennet

Elizabeth Bennet is beautiful, lovely, bold, intelligent, and independent, with a witty sense of humor. She considers herself to be a proper young lady and a good judge of character. However, throughout the novel, Elizabeth realizes that she is not perfect; she does misjudge people at times, and her pride eggs on these mistakes. Furthermore, her prejudice leads to her struggling to understand other peoples’ points of view. Throughout the novel, Elizabeth Bennet’s character evolves to become more humble and empathetic while maintaining that signature confidence in who she is.

Elizabeth Bennet’s New Year

I think Elizabeth will celebrate New Year’s Eve with her husband, Mr. Darcy and her children. They will decorate the Christmas tree; Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy will buy some presents for their children to make them happy and have dinner together.

Also they will visit Elizabeth’s family: Mr. Bennet, Mrs. Bennet, Jane Bennett, Mary Bennet, Kitty Bennet and Lydia Bennet. They will spend some time together; give each other some gifts, have dinner together, the children will play, and enjoy their time together.

THE BEST DAY OF 2022
The best day of 2022 was July 11^th. July 11^th I went at Kakheti, Telavi. I visited king Erekle II’s palace and learnt about his history. I also visited a museum and listened to some history. I love history so I enjoyed it.

SUPERSTITIONS ABOUT NEW YEAR’S EVE

People have many superstitions about New Year’s Eve. People often say, “As you meet the New Year, you will spend the whole year“. They also wish for good luck, money, jobs and so on. All of that requires action, and not only a wish. Children believe in Santa Claus. All of this are stupid superstitions.

GOALS

I believe that setting goals at the beginning of a New Year is not necessary. A goal can be set and accomplished at any time. If you really want it, you don’t have to wait for the New Year.

NEW YEAR’S DAY

GEORGIA

In the New Year, all the children are waiting for Santa Claus to bring them gifts. From time to time they steal the delicacies from the table silently and eat them before the New Year. As soon as the clock strikes 12 o’clock, they go outside and light fireworks, at which time the mothers stay at home and silently place presents under the Christmas tree … In Georgia, on New Year’s, mothers and grandmothers make some food including Gozinaki, Churchkhela, chicken and much more.

USA

With a champagne glass in hand, fireworks in the sky, tasty dishes to feast on, New Year is going to be a blast undoubtedly. New Year is celebrated in the US very grandly and people come out onto the street to greet each other and to welcome the New Year together. Very few love to sit at home and enjoy their private space and me-time whilst many love to join the crowds to welcome the New Year.  Other than the usual celebrations, Americans have some traditions that they follow very strictly on the New Year’s Eve as well as New Year’s Day including:

1. Times Square Ball Drop;
2. Making Resolutions;
3. New Year’s Kiss;
4. Hoppin’ John;
5. Midnight Countdown.

There are many traditions that people in United States observe on New Year’s Day. Cities witness various traditions like first night, live music performances, dancing events etc.
