Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen Explanation Pride and Prejudice is the title because there is a lot of judging and arrogance recurring through this novel.

Mercury died of aids in 1991; further substantiating rumors regarding his homosexuality.

Nothing is considered to be better than a lovely person called mother, her love, and care. Certainly, I can say with that I never understand the suffering from the unbearable loss of a dear person. The novel entitled “For One More Day” by Mitch Albom, had shown me on how it feels to lose our mother. I started to understand Charley Benetto’s feeling to lose someone that he loved.
