　　Nice to see you, boys and girls. What did you do on the weekends?
　　As for me I managed to read Jane Eyre and Gone with the wind in English.
　　These are wonderful western novels. Jane Eyre is an orphan cast out as a young girl by her aunt, Mrs. Reed, and sent to be raised in a harsh charity school for girls. There she learns to be e a teacher and eventually seeks employment outside the school. Her advertisement is answered by the housekeeper of Thornfield Hall, Mrs. Fairfax.
　　Scarlett is a woman who can deal with a nation at war, Atlanta burning, the Union Army carrying off everything from her beloved Tara, the carpetbaggers who arrive after the war. Scarlett is beautiful. She has vitality. But Ashley, the man she has wanted for so long, is going to marry his placid cousin, Melanie. Mammy warns Scarlett to behave herself at the party at Twelve Oaks. There is a new man there that day, the day the Civil War begins.
　　To better understand the bacnd of this novel and others of this type, let’s go to page 41. We shall try to discover “THE RISE OF ENGLISH AUTHORIESSES IN THE 19TH CENTURY ”.
　　■Warming up by defining novels
　　To begin with let’s try to find out what a novel is.
　　A novel (from French nouvelle, "new") is an extended fictional narrative in prose. Down into the 18th century, the word referred specifically to short fictions of love and intrigue as opposed to romances—epic-length wort love and adventures. Having bee one of the major literary genres over the past 200 years the novel is today the object of discussions demanding artistierits, a specific literary style and a deeper meaning than a true story of the same content could to have.
