Pride and Prejudice Added Sources (under style) "With voices of their own, Austen’s characters develop a fullness, consistency, and individuality that complete their personhood by the end of a novel. A clear example exists between Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy in Pride and Prejudice. Although the two major characters share a similar personality, quick wit, and precision of speech, they do not share a single voice. Austen develops their characters differently throughout the novel and attributes distinct structures in their dialogue. Diagramming dialogue at various emotional states, levels of comfort, and settings reveals consistent and distinct patterns that distinguish Darcy’s voice from Elizabeth’s."

Austen creates her characters with a fully developed personalities and unique voices. Though Darcy and Bennet are very alike, they are also immensely different.

(under Class) "This power play of different classes we see in Austenean world, which is going through a process of transition, redefining the social order. Relations are judged and formed in the crucible of wealth and riches. In this topsy-turvy world the characters learn to differentiate between true happiness and physical comfort. Through the characters and events in P & P a new social ideology is introduced, that money and social status are transitory; what gives true happiness lies elsewhere."

Austen introduces class in a different light in this novel, portraying that not all joy or love comes from wealth and status.

"Territorial changes of Germany after World War II" possible lead

After WWII many countries viewed that there had to be boundary changes amongst some of the European countries involved in the war. There are two conferences that have led to some massive territorial changes that are still in effect today. The Yalta Conference and the Potsdam Conference were held. The Yalta Conference dealt with the territorial changes for Poland's boundaries and the Potsdam Conference dealt with the territorial changes for Germany's boundaries.

"Nile boat" possible lead

The Nile River is a main source of living for the people living along it, especially thousands of years ago. The El Salha Archaeological Project discovered an abundance of evidence of an ancient boat that traveled the Nile River dating back to 3,000 years ago. Pictographs and pebble carvings were uncovered, indicating a boat more advanced than a simple canoe. This evidence of a progressed Nile boat includes a steering system which may have been used in the Nile for fishing and transportation.
