Jane Austen was an author of the Georgian Era who was born on December 16, 1775 in Hampshire, England. In Austen’s early life she was surrounded by an educated atmosphere that “stressed learning and creative thinking” (bio.com).

I liked this poem because it represents so many things in today’s society. Many people do the wrong things but think nothing of it at the time. They never take into account that at their last day of judgment, every wrongdoing will be counted for and they will be punished for it
