Jane Austen began her second novel, Pride and prejudice, before she was twenty-one. It was originally titled First Impression because the appearances of the characters created the plot of the novel. However, because the novel is also concerned with effects of the characters' first impressions,which is their prejudice. Austen found the title Pride and Prejudice more suitable.

The tone of the novel is light,and satirical(讽刺）。Scenes such as Mr.Collin's proposal(求婚）to Elizabeth,and Lady Catherine's visits to Lizzy at Long bourn, provide humorous relief to the readers while at the same tie showing certain traits(个性）of the characters. For example, Lydia' s lack of common sense and responsibility is showed when she takes pride in being the First Bennet girl to be married. Elizabeth Bennet's ability to laugh off er bad luck and to continue to e cheerful also contributes to the tone of the novel.

As a result,the mood of the novel lacks dramatic emotions. The atmosphere is cold; there are little description of the setting. The man actions of the novel are the interactions between opinions, ideas,and attitudes,which advances the plot of the novel. The emotions in the novel are to be considered beneath the surface of the story and not to be expressed to the readers directly.

＂It is a truth universally believed, that a single man in possession of a good fortune,must be in want of a wife."In this statement, Austin has cleverly done three things: she has declared that the main subject of the novel will be marriage, she has recognized the humorous tone of the novel by taking a simple subject to speak intelligently of, and she has prepared the reader for chase in the novel of either a husband in search of a wife,or a woman in pursuit of a husband.

Improving your focus can make you a better student or employee as well as a happier and more organized person. 36

Create a clean environment. When it's a task where you are seated at a desk, then you will need to clean the desk area and become more organized. Let's suppose you are trying to quit smoking. 37 In other words, on your quit date the house and car you occupy need to be ＂smokeless" in every way. No ashtrays, lighters, etc.

38 For example, if your intention is to be a non - smoker then you are more likely to succeed hanging out in a local gym instead of a local bar. Choose the right place, and you can cut out the distractions you have control over and minimize the ones you can't stop completely.

Focus on one task at a time. Though many people think that multi - tasking is a great way to

accomplish goals more quickly and to get two or three things done at once, multi-tasking is actually harmful to your concentration. Occupied with many tasks,you may think you're getting more done.39 Therefore, work on getting just one thing done at a time and you'll see that you get this done more quickly.

G. If you want to improve your focus, you need to learn how to avoid distractions before accomplishing a task.
