If I had a wish, I would hope that Harvey and Donna are finally going to be together this season

If not this is dishonouring the storyline throughout the seasons

How much more do we have to endure before those fools have an honest to God conversation together about their feelings.

Hart of Dixie

I have been watching it or the past few weeks and I didn't realise at first that it was a CW show and from now on I'm definitely gonna check the network before I start watching any other shows.

And a lot of people complain about the CW and that is because of a legit reason: they have a bad habit of ruining their shows and even a worse habit of having it with run way beyond their expiration date but alas how would I learn

I haven't seen such a bad writing since Julie decided to ruin her one respected show The Originals to create that ridiculous shame of a show legacies, anyways Hart of Dixie did not start out as bad as it ended

it has some potential and even though by the second season I was completely bored with it it could have been saved if the writing was not so bad in season 3 is

How they handled Rachel's pregnancy I think that's what forced them to make Zoe end up with Wade obviously that wasn't the original plan

maybe not a lot of people have been rooting for Zoe and George to end up together but I have watched my fair share of shows and I thought that's the way to go, that they would eventually make them get together and get their happily ever after and fin

but as luck would have it Rachel got pregnant and they don't know how to handle it so they made Zoe pregnant with Wade's child

But I think the best driving goes beyond the main character Zoe's crazy love life it's about everyone liking George darker than golden Boy Who you will definitely fall in love with in the first season they alter him on too much from that point forward and at this moment in season 4 I'm almost disliking him and that's such a shame

To mention the good with the bad lemon ending up with the mayor Lavon Hayes is the one thing that made sense, the one thing that was built up from the very beginning of the show and that actually had the writers follow through on

Although they did do it in a very very bad way and Rushed this out in the final episodes of season 4 which in turn got cancelled and they didn't get the second half of the season and they couldn't remedy what they have done but at least these two got their happy ending which can not be said for anybody else anyways my point is Hart of Dixie; I would not recommend

to point out another things I do love Rachel she is one of my favourite actors and she's probably me the reason why I started watching this show also it does have it's moments like very rarely when I watch it and I'm like I like this, this is funny, or it's nice, or this is interesting but I spent the better part of season 2 and season 3 being bored out of my mind and by Season 4 I realised that there is no time to fix anything that they have done wrong and that did it for me

I should also note that I didn't have any previous knowledge of the show or it's story or characters befor I started watching it

I know it's been off the air for a while but I haven't seen it before I just downloaded it and binged watched it for Rachel mainly.

PERSUASION

Jane Austen is an acclaimed author in English literature, and Persuasion is her under-rated masterpiece. This is not a story about infatuation that wins over everything, it is about deep love that stands the test of time, separation, and hardships.   The premise of the novel is second chances, it’s about yearning and longing, and it’s about fate; because two people were meant for each other, fate finds a way to bring them together again, and they make the decision to be together.  Anne Elliot, the protagonist, is one of the best characters ever written. Her personality is reflected in the narration of the novel. Anne is quite, not shy, nor passive, she’s quite, she observes and analyzes, and you can see that through the novel, instead of being told how she feels, or reading her opinionated judgments, we know her thought processes, how she works things out, how she forms her opinions, and we feel what she feels. And while the novel has subplots, we are more invested in Anne’s story, her well being, her position within her family, and her sacrifice in the name of their expectations. Through her calm narration of the novel, you get Anne’s perspective. Her love interest Mr. Wentworth, whom she meets when she’s 19 years old, they fall madly in love, but they break off the engagement, because of her family. While her father and older sister were more concerned about their status, than Anne’s happiness, her late mother’s friend advice to break off the engagement is what persuaded Anne. She loved Anne and had her interest at heart, which is why it hurts more from her. 7 years later, as if they were destined to, they meet again, both single, unattached, a bit older and wiser; though Wentworth is still hurting, which he redirects to anger. They spend some time in the same company, most everyone around them ignorant of their connection. He ignores Anne, and she thinks him indifferent, and we feel her internal struggle, because while she doesn’t deny her feelings, she buries them inside, she doesn’t have a close confidant, except for her mother’s friend, whose opinion on the matter she already knows, so it’s just her, working through her emotions, her regret of letting him go, her longing for him now that he’s so near, yet so far, and her hurt from how he’s treating her. She has to watch him with other young women, and she believes he’s partial to one. She thinks all hope is lost forever and wishes that they could part ways so she won’t have to see him be happy with another. Persuasion may seem like a torment to some people, the premise may seem daunting; but I loved it, the phrase ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder’ couldn’t be more fitting anywhere else, for those who enjoy the slow build-up of a relationship, the yearning to one’s significant other, the angst with eventual pay off, this is definitely a must-read. Unlike real life, where many lovers can be separated for years and meet again, when circumstances are impossible for them to try again, Anne & Wentworth’ love story is written in the stars, they find each other again and fate is kind enough -or Jane Austen is- and the get a second chance at happiness, and this time; they take it. Anne’s realized that you have to pursue your own happiness, no one else can do it for you. And she makes up her mind, decided, and unyielding to anyone who tries to persuade her otherwise. She goes after what she wants.

“Pride and Prejudice"

First Impressions, is the original title of Pride and Prejudice, and it is what most people think the novel is about. But, it's really about second chances. Jane Austen is famous for her romantic novels set in Regency England, contrary to popular belief; Jane is more of a realist than a hopeless romantic. She has a firm grip on the necessities of real life and its demands. Pride and Prejudice follows the stories and lives of the Bennet family, with the second eldest daughter as the protagonist; Lizzie Bennet. As far as protagonists go, Lizzie belongs to the A-list. She's relatable to most people, because of her lively attitude, her sense of humor, she's everyone's best friend or the friend you wish you have. Readers feel instantly in love with Lizzie, her mind is active, and her voice is loud throughout the novel. And through the novel, Lizzie's process of thinking is felt, her ideas are told, reasoned with, and expressed through her actions, giving us a glimpse into her feelings.

 The story starts with the arrival of a new family, into the neighborhood, which brings about the issue at play in the novel and at that time in 18th century England, where a young woman's main concern in life is to marry well. Jane Austen here offers a revolutionary premise that a woman can choose her own happiness over securing her future with a comfortable home, and her responsibility towards her family and what's expected of her.

When this eligible bachelor; Mr. Bingley, his sisters, and his friend are introduced into the Bennets society, he takes a shine to Lizzie's older sister; Jane, who is an angel basically, everything that's good and pure, without the over-energized attitudes of Lizzie. While Pride and Prejudice is in all truth a romance novel, it's not about love at first sight, falling head over heels for someone you just met, or a passionate infatuation based on physical attraction. It's about a deep emotional connection between two people, as they get to know one another -and know themselves- better, between Lizzie, and Bingley's best friend; W. Darcy.  While some may construe Pride is Darcy's fault, and Prejudice is Lizzie's, it's not as simple as that. They are both human, and so, in a way flawed, and these are ones of the best characters in literature.  Pride and prejudice are their faults, both of them. Mr. Darcy is prejudiced against the rural society, based on his belief that they are less civilized, less sophisticated, less cultured than he or his usual companions are. So he decides first hand that he wouldn't meet anyone interesting here, no one worth his time, his attention, or even his conversation, so he wastes no effort to act politely, or friendly with anyone he meets. And Lizzie's prejudice against Mr. Darcy is because she overheard him saying she wasn't pretty enough for him, and  while her prejudice is certainly more justified, it is much stronger than his towards her, she holds it firmly for the better part of the first half of the novel, like the line in the 2005 movie adaptation, she admits "that (liking Darcy) would be most inconvenient, since I sworn to loathe him for all eternity." She is slighted by him, she gets hurt and stays mad at him for a long time because of it. Even, without her realizing she's actually decidedly against him, she who delights in her ability to read and judge people, is blinded to his character, because of that encounter.  The story sails off with Jane, and Bingley, falling in love, and her mother's hopes and schemes to get the pairing to wedding aisle, and with that Darcy and Lizzie are forced into being together on several occasions, where Darcy starts to see Lizzie for who she is. And instead of falling for her beauty from the beginning, he begins to appreciate her characters, respect her mind, falls for her easiness and personality. He has a lot of time to observe her, and he starts to fall for her. And when he realized that, he holds back, his pride plays here, but it's reasonable, given his status, his duties, and the expectations of his family to uphold their station. As for Lizzie, she's is set on her judgment of him, when Mr. Wickham walks in, into their lives, he's a charmer, unlike Darcy, whom he has a history with. Wickham's side of their tale paints Darcy as the villain, which soothes Lizzie's account of him.  Jane's story, while started of more pleasantly than Lizzie's, is hindered by the same social restrictions of that era. And, with his sisters' persuasion, Mr. Bingely leaves. The following months has the Bennets in despair, with a broken-hearted Jane, and a bored Lizzie with Wickham's departure. When the dreaded cousin arrives as a guest at their state, he tries to mend the relations by hoping to marry one of the daughters of the man whose house he shall inherit. However, Lizzie puts her own happiness above convenience and rejects him. Months later, Lizzie and Darcy meet again, where he finally gives in and admits his feelings to her, shocking her, and to his own surprise, she rejects him. This is more of a gamble than rejecting her cousin, and again Jane Austen shows that a woman can refuse to marry someone, whom she's not in love with. Darcy demands an explanation, and Lizzie informs him of her knowledge that he helped persuade Bingley to leave Jane, and gives him Wickham's account. Enraged, hurt, Darcy writes her a letter to explain his side of the story, turns out, after all, he's not the villain here. As luck would have it, Lizzie's summer plans throw her near Darcy's home and she can't stop her curiosity from seeing it for herself. They're given a second chance where they meet again, with open-minds and new opinions of one another. Darcy is still in love with her, and he heard her and wants to prove that he can change, that her first impressions of him weren't entirely true. And Lizzie, learning the truth of his history of Wickham, ashamed of how she judged him, is now seeing him in a new light, in his element, and with him working extra hard to impress her, it works. Then, as life goes, things get complicated when her sister gets involved with Wickham, Darcy rides to the rescue, and even more honorably, keeps his actions a secret. Before Lizzie finds out, she's tormented with the idea that he won't love her anymore, which makes her wonder about her own feelings for him, and when she learns what he's done, she's flooded with gratitude, and her regard for him strengthens. Will they find each other and make it work? I always prefer a story with a happy ending, even if some people might call it predictable, I enjoy the predictability of good winning in fiction because really, how often does that happen in real life?!   It's a story of how two people, despite there different circumstances, different backgrounds, find each other, and against all odds, even against themselves, they fall for one another, and mercifully, they are given a new chance to make it work, and they do. It's hopeful, romantic, with a good dash humor and sarcasm as is Jane's style, and it's a classic. There's a reason this particular novel stood the test of time, and it's a testament to its author's talent and innovation. Pride and Prejudice is a definite "must-read".
