I can ’ t believe my English teacher is making me read pride and prejudice !   Why not ! It ’ s a classic . In fact , it ’ s one of my favorite novels .   But it ’ s so old .   Don ’ t judge a book by its cover . Do you Kwon what it ’ s about ?   No , not at all .   First of all , it ’ s a romance novel , set in the early 19th century .   I didn ’ t realize it was a romance novel . What ’ s the main storyline ?   It ’ s basically about a father who tried to marry off one of his five girls .   Why does he want to do that ?   Since he doesn ’ t have a son , he hopes that one of the girls will marry a wealthy man . That way , all of his daughters will be cared for .   Won ’ t they get his inheritance ?   No , that ’ s the problem . Though they are well-off , once he dies , his house will go to his cousin . So , when he dies , the girls will have nothing .   I see . This sounds interesting ! Maybe my teacher isn ’ t so horrible after all .   So , are you going to read the novel or watch the movie ?
