JANE AUSTEN - PRIDE AND PREJUDICE 1ºESO

JANE AUSTEN

Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) was an English novelist. Her works made her one of the most famous and beloved writers in English literature. She is one of the great masters of the English novel.

She wrote about typical people in everyday life.  Her stories are often comic, but they also show how women depended on marriage for social standing and economic security. Her works are also about moral problems.

Jane Austen was born on 16 December 1775 at Steventon, near Basingstoke. Educated mostly by her father and older brothers, and also by her own reading, she lived with her family at Steventon. They moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. After he died in 1805, she moved around with her mother. In 1809, they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. In May 1817 she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. She died there on 18 July 1817.

Only four of her novels were printed while she was alive:

• Sense and Sensibility (1811)
• Pride and Prejudice (1813)
• Mansfield Park (1814)
• Emma (1816). 

Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were printed in 1817 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen. Persuasion was written shortly before her death. She also wrote two earlier works, Lady Susan, and an unfinished novel, The Watsons. She had been working on a new novel, Sanditon, but she died before she could finish it.

WHAT'S REALLY IN YOUR FAST FOOD?

McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, Taco Bell — which one are you craving today? It’s quite probably that you have a favourite fast food chain and that you love many of the tasty options offered at these restaurants. It’s hard to miss them. In 2018, there were over 263,944 fast food restaurants in America.

With a poll revealing that 8 in 10 Americans eat fast food at least monthly and half saying they eat it weekly; these companies know they have a good thing going. Here are some truths that may make you wonder if you still want to go to there for lunch.

LOOK AT THIS DELICIOUS EGG SANDWICH FROM SUBWAY:

TOO BAD YOU’RE EATING A LOT MORE THAN JUST EGGS:

David DiSalvo (a writer) decided to really look into the eggs of breakfast sandwiches. What he discovered was that their “eggs” are really a strange mixture that includes eggs and “premium egg blend” that includes glycerin (found in soap), dimethylpolysiloxane (a silicone), and calcium silicate (used on roofs). 

HERE’S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU ORDER MCNUGGETS:

BUT THIS IS WHAT THEY MAY HAVE LOOKED LIKE BEFORE:

This is a mixture created with the bones of a leftover chicken mixed together in a food processor. This slime is then molded into a nugget shape and fried. However, McDonald’s has released a statement indicating that the company “does not process any of its meat products in the manner that is seen in the photo”.

HERE IS THE MCDONALD’S CLASSIC: A TASTY HAMBURGER:

AND IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN STILL EAT IT 14 YEARS LATER:

Yes, that is what a McDonald’s hamburger looked like after a man forgot it in his coat pocket … in 1999. David Whipple revealed to a TV show that this 14-year-old burger appeared to have never aged. 

In 2010, J. Kenji López-Alt theorised that the burger didn’t "because its small size and relatively large surface area help it to lose moisture very fast". Without moisture, there’s no mold or bacterial growth.” 

QUESTIONS

After reading the text, write a short text in your notebook answering to the following questions. Use between 80- 100 words. 

1. What do you think of this article? 

2. What do you prefer: healthy food or fast food? Why?

3. Why do we need to eat healthy food? Would you do it after reading this article?
