On Liberty

So I have to do an essay of John Stuart Mill's contreversial 'On Liberty' for uni. GAH! This book is giving me a headache, and I haven't even read it. Which is bad in itself. Instead, I'm just reading critiques of it. Damn 1840's language is hard to understand.

"Explain the freedoms John Stuart Mill defended in On Liberty. What freedoms did he not defend and why?"

I thought it sounded quite simple, but turns out it is harder than it looks!

Oh well, we must keep on keeping on!


(Update: I ended up getting an A+ on this assignment!)

Jane Eyre

I'm trying so so so so so hard to get into it.

But its just not working.

I hate it when you build up such HUGE expectations of something and it fails to deliver.

Like Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince movie.

But I won't even get started on that!

But, I shall persevere.

I'm sure in the end Mr Rochester will save Jane in some dramatic, romantic way, and they will stay together.

Also, whats up with the crazy wife locked in the attic!?!?!??!
