zombies

Week 1: Alright guys! This time around, let's read it up to page 61. A- Sung Jin I don't know the rest.

Summary of the book: For the first quarter of book club, we meet the Bennets. They have five girls and each are exceptionally well in fighting the unmentionables (zombies). They train with their father, whom used to be also exceptionable. Their mother, on the other hand, would love the girls to be married instead of holding daggers. Mrs. Bennet hears of Mr. Bingley coming into their town, and she tells her husband to meet with him. He does, and hear that Mr. Bingley will be at a ball, and the girls will be there too. Then, at the ball, after meeting Mr. Bingley, Miss Bingley, Mrs Hurst, and Mr. Darcy, a group of unmentionables attack. The girls fight them, and kill them. Later, the eldest Bennet gets invited to meet with Miss Bingly and Mrs. Hurst for tea. She goes on horseback, but on the way, catches a cold for fighting with some unmentionables. Her sister, Elizabeth, visits out of care. they stay a while because the eldest was still very ill. Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley act very rude to Elizabeth because Mr. Darcy likes Elizabeth while Miss Bingley likes Darcy. When the eldest gets better, they return home, and get a visit from Mr. Cullins.

questions:

Did you expect that mr. Darcy would end up liking Elizabeth? what led you to think this? Sung Jin: No. Krista: Yes because I saw how the foreshadowing made him think she was not as pretty and her older sister, and then how he wanted to dance with her.

Do you like the story so far? -Sam: it is a very original and creative remake of a classic.

Why do you think that some families don't teach their daughters to fight the unmentionables? -Because they are more interested in looking good and making a family. They rely on ment to protect them. Maybe because they don't think they are ready or even able to fight.

What do you think will come to be with Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy? -They will get married and mr. darcy will turn into a zombie. - They will get married and one of them will turn into a zombie, or even no one will. I think Elizabeth's mother will turn into a zombie, and they will become closer because of it.

What about Mr. Bingly and the eldest daughter? -They will marry. - They will end up not marrying becaues mr bingly will become a zombie.

Summary of the Meeting Sung Jin brought doughnuts to the meeting, they were delicious and it felt like a victorious moment. We all had just bought our books yesterday but we had tried to start them. Krista's questions helped us ease into the book. We learned that even though the book may show a comical sense with the 'zombie invasion' there are still characters and interactions to follow. Sung Jin expects to learn about the romantic lives of these higher-class families dealing with zombies.

Week 2 A- Sam Jones B- Sung Jin Kim C- Krista

Up to 123.

Questions: 1. Well, some of us think that Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth are going to pair up. However, Elizabeth sees Mr. Darcy as a cruel and prideful person who tells a few dirty jokes. How do you think they would ever pair up? ---Sam- Because he already likes her he will change for her. ---Krista- He will go out of his way to prove to her his love to her. 2. Mr. Bingley and Jane's relationship seems strained by not only their separation, but Mr. Bingley's sisters who want him to marry Mr. Darcy's sister. How do you think Jane and Mr. Bingley will end up? ---Mr. Darcy will get Mr. Bingley's sisters to accept Jane instead of Mr. Darcy's sister to prove that he also can get Elizabeth. 3. Compared to her sisters, there is something that sets Elizabeth apart. What do you think it is? ---A brain. She is much more mature. She does not really care about girl stuff like her sisters. She is more into the deadly arts and survival than petty trivialties. 4. By what you've read of Mrs. Bennet, what do you think she represents in this story? ---She seems to be the foolish matriarch. Even though she is someone who is to be respected, she is foolish and ignorant. 5. Mr. Collins clearly has flaws. What do you think they may be? ---He is a little to o desperate and dull and a perfectionist, and critical. He is prideful. He also is obsessed with Lady Catherine.

Summary of the meeting: To begin, we had some food, brought by Sam. She brought tastykakes which were great. We talked about the book and what we read so far. Sung Jin wrote some questions and we answered them. After answering the questions, we stated our predictions of how everything would turn out between the family and friends. We are very excited to read on and find out how this book ends.

Summary of the Book: In the story, we find out that Mr. Darcy has once broken Mr. Wickam's legs in a vicious swipe of anger and that Mr. Darcy also envied Mr. Wickam because Mr. Darcy's father favored Mr. Wickam more than his own son. Therefore, when his father died and left inheritance to Mr. Wickam, Mr. Darcy stole it from him. Of course, this is Mr. Wickam's side of the story and we do not yet know the other side to it. Later on, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth dance in a ball together, which is a sign of affection from Mr. Darcy. The night was interrupted, however, my two zombies who killed the kitchen staff and was promptly killed by Mr. Darcy. Afterwards, Mr. Collins asks for Elizabeth to marry her and she refuses. This causes Mrs. Bennet to be outraged. After facing rejection, Mr. Collins goes to Charlotte and asks her to marry him. She accepts. When asked why she would marry him by Elizabeth, she tells her how she is "stricken" and wants to spend her last days happily. Also, Jane and Elizabeth talk about Jane's relationship with Mr. Blingley and how Mr. Blingley's sisters want him to marry Mr. Darcy's sister. Jane wants to keep chasing after him despite their separation of location and challenges. When seen at Mr. Collins home, Charlotte looks paler and more like a zombie, talks in a strange manner, and acts as if she was out of her mind, which she may partially be. The story ends with her shoving handfuls of "crisp, autumn leaves in her mouth." and an invitation to Mr. Collins, his wife, and his guests to dine at the Rosings.

Week 4 Up to Page 252 A-Krista B-Samantha Jones C/D-Sung Jin Kim

1. The zombie attack has been bothering England for over 50 years, why do they stay and fight still instead of leaving the country? They felt like they had a duty to protect their own land and to not abandon it. 2. Can you imagine what the story would be like without the zombie attack, how many conflicts could be avoided? Various conflicts could've been avoided, many lives could've ben saved and there would be no constant worry over the land and all of its people. 3.Is Mrs. Bennet completely unpleasant or does she have any good qualities? She's a nice mother, she's trying to focus on the world as if there was no zombie attack. Roger thinks she's stupid. 4. Who do you think gives an image of strength and independence in this story? Why? Krista: Elizabeth because she has exceptional fighting skills and doesn't care for Mr. Darcy's opinion right away, and she also doesn't care for being the most lady-like. Roger: Mr. Darcy because he doesn't talk to many people and he stands to the side at parties and he can fight. 5. Who do you think represents a weaker and more dependent image in the story? Why? Mr. Collins because he's so dependent on Lady Katherine to do everything for him.

Summary of the Meeting: Krista brought WATERMELON! Not only was it delicious, but it was healthy! Anyway, we did the questions from Sam over the course of some ten or twenty minutes. The rest of the time, we did our own thing such as eating the watermelon. Mmm... Anyway, we didn't exactly read up to so we still had some reading to do over the weekend. Anyway, the most appealing part of the meeting was the watermelon in my opinion.

Summary of the book: Well, a lot of things happen in the previous week's and the previous previous week's sections of the book. Elizabeth displeases Lady Catherine by killing three of her ninjas in a match. Mr. Darcy proclaims his love for Elizabeth, and gets a dose of rejection plus a kick from Elizabeth. When Elizabeth finds out that Mr. Darcy is not the bad person she thought he was and Mr. Wickham is actually more villainous, her feelings become mixed up. Unfortunately, things get even more mixed up when Lydia, Elizabeth's younger sister is thought to be taken away by Mr. Wickham and is being raped and to be killed or was raped and killed. However, it turns out that actually, Mr. Wickham and Lydia want to get married, but an accident occurred which caused the loss of control of his arms. Mr. Bennet, Elizabeth's father, suspects that his brother bribed Mr. Wickam to marry Lydia. On a side note, Mr. Collins committed suicide after finding out about his wife's stricken condition and killing her.

Questions for last book club.

1. Why do you think the author used zombies instead of other creatures like vampires, or frankenstein, etc. How fo you think this helped the author? -Zombies are a weak enemy to fight and only powerful in masses for those who are not weak. By adding a few vulnerable enemies, the author can make the characters seem weaker or stronger. 2. Why do you think Lady Catherine doesn't want Elizabeth to marry Mr. Darcy? -Lady Catherine may be jealous of Elizabeth's skill in the deadly arts and her youth, but mostly because she wants Mr. Darcy to marry her daughter. Plus the fact that Elizabeth's family is not of a high standing or wealth. 3. Do you think a man like Mr. Darcy changing so much just for a "tolerable" girl like Elizabeth is realistic? -No, with the fact that she is only "tolerable" in Mr. Darcy's eyes, and the fact that she was the only girl not to suck up to him as the only redeeming quality, what reason would he have to change for her? -I think it is realistic because one would do anything for love. People can change for someone just to get them to like them, so yes. I think it is realistic, if he really loves her. 4. Mr. Blingley is a simple man. Do you think that he is the right man for Jane? Why? -I think he is the right man for Jane because they fit each other well. They compliment each other's qualities. 5. Charlotte's life was extended with the help of Lady Catherine's serum. Would you want to have your life extended in such a state? Why or why not?

Summary of the meeting: Krista and Sam didn't show up because they went to 6 Flags. So I'm all by myself. Like Donkey from Shrek. So know I'm just hanging on to Jessi's group. Yeah.

Summary of the Book: So this may be the last summary of the book I may do in my freshmen year. I would do this in a poetic rhyme but I do not feel like it. It's nearly 10 at night. Do you think I would feel like it? Maybe next year. So here's the summary:

Unfortunately, Lady Catherine did not approve of the idea of an engagement between Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth so went to Elizabeth to disprove the rumor when she heard it. Elizabeth was acting uncooperatively with her and the conversation escalated to being a fight. Elizabeth won, but let Lady Catherine live out of affection for Mr. Darcy. Later on, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth walk together and conversation goes to the topic of him still wanting to marry her and things went on from that and Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth become engaged. They defeat some zombies together and the story ends with telling what happens to the characters afterwards. Lady Catherine accepts the marriage between Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth, one of Elizabeth's sisters goes back to Shanghai to learn more of the deadly arts, and more.
