Seminar in English Help ?!?!?!?
I have to present a seminar in my Grade 12 English classes as part of my ISU. I read the book Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte and jane austen's Persuasion. Could someone please give me a 2 min. summary on the two books. I tried to do already, but I can not make it pretty short, but important, including all the details. My presentation is just 10 minutes, and I need a short summary really just tell the class what my book is fundamentally a question. I also tried search the Internet, but they were all too long. This is my last hope. Help please! If you're reading this after 9:00 AM tomorrow morning, will be too late. Thank you!

Jane Austen: Blood Persuasion $9.99 It is 1810, and the Damned are out of favor—banished from polite society. Jane Austen’s old undead friends have become new neighbors, raising hell in her tranquil village just in time to interrupt Jane’s work on what will be her masterpiece. Suddenly Jane’s niece is flirting dangerously with vampires, and a formerly respectable spinster friend has discovered the forbidden joys of intimate congress with the Damned (and is borrowing Jane’s precious silk stockings for her assignations). Writing is simply impossible now, with murderous creatures prowling the village’s once-peaceful lanes. And with the return of her vampire characteristics, a civil war looming between factions of the Damned, and a former lover who intends to spend eternity blaming her for his broken heart, Jane is facing a very busy year indeed. |

Persuasion $9.99 Jane Austen’s last and most melancholy novel was published posthumously in 1818. In PERSUASION, Austen creates a strong, mature, and independent heroine, Anne Elliot. Having foolishly broken off an engagement eight years earlier to Frederick Wentworth, a penniless naval officer, Anne at the age of 27 has remained unmarried–and secretly devoted to Wentworth. Living with her vain, self-absorbed, and (of course) ridiculous father, Anne is sinking gently into a resigned spinsterhood when Wentworth, who has gained wealth and a name for himself, comes back into her life. Set in 1814 and 1815, PERSUASION was written in 1816, when Jane Austen was already ill; perhaps her decline left its mark on the novel. PERSUASION, however, while more serious in tone than Austen’s other works–and, interestingly, more attuned to landscape and the beauties of nature–retains her gift for satire and her sometimes mordant wit. |
