Reflection on North and South





The book of North and South describes about the love life of a girl named Margaret Hale. In the book, two men fall in love with her: Henry Lennox and Mr. Thornton. They both propose to her, but in the end, Mr. Thornton wins Margaret's heart. During the story, some tragedies also happen. Margaret's mother and father die, and she is left with her aunt. Personally, I thought the book wasn't very exciting and fun to read because it just kept on describing Margaret's life. However, we got a really good view of the differences between the North and the South of England. The south of England is rich and rural-like. On the other hand, the north of England is industrial and full of smoke and other debris. In this book, Margaret got to experience both places; in the story, she favors the south more.
