hi...wow its been a while, i hadn't noticed how much me had passed... well i read a lot of the books you mentioned...emma, p&p, sense and sensibility, to kill a mokingbird, and lord of the flies...
i agree with this comment:
If i had to narrow it down, i'd say Gran is based on Lady Catherine de Bourgh, one of the characters in P&P.
i loved p&p and emma but i got through s&s bored...tkam was amazing i read it in 8th and freshman year...i read the lord of the flies in 8th and it was also really good...i liked it.
i just finished reading : of mice and men, which was amazing, the old man ad the sea, which i found a bore, and the glass menagerie, which i liked also. i'm also rereading jane eyre for lack of anything else to read...if you read any good books let me know...
