Mansfield Park by Jane Austen (Chapters 25-32)

Sir Thomas observed that Henry liked Fanny. Henry wanted to live near Mansfield. Fanny and her brother William had a conversation about his expectation to be a lieutenant. Sir Thomas would arrange a ball at Mansfield for Fanny and William. The Ball was coming therefore Fanny consulted with Mrs. Grant and Mary what to put on. Everybody feasted their eyes upon Fanny at the ball. Sir Thomas said to Fanny to guide the first dance to begin the ball. William and Henry Crawford left for London which upset Fanny very much. After some time, Henry returned from London and reported Mary that he wanted Fanny to be his wife and she approved of his choice. Then Henry informed Fanny that William became a lieutenant. Fanny was thankful and wanted to inform her uncle about it, however Henry stopped her confessing love. Fanny was discouraged. She informed Sir Thomas only that William was promoted to the rank of a lieutenant. At the dinner Fanny ate very little and wished Henry would leave them. However, he came at Mansfield the next morning. Fanny concealed herself in the room and hoped to not be called for. Fanny refused his proposal. Sir Thomas left the room to talk to Henry. Later after dinner, Sir Thomas called Fanny to the room, and she met Henry Crawford who was waiting for her there.

The headline of the article is Iron Man 3: the final instalment of the superhero saga?.The article was created on Friday 26 April 2013 15.37 BST. The author of the article is Ben Child. The purpose of the article is to give the readers some information about a possible ending of a series of films of Iron Man.

The writer states that with Iron Man 3 debuting across the world this month to enthusiastic reviews, you'd be hard pressed to argue against the right of this series to a spot in the grand pantheon of big-screen superhero sagas. If we include The Avengers in that equation, it might even challenge Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy for the shiniest plinth.

The author tells us that all good things must come to an end, however, and Iron Man 3 may turn out to be the final solo outing for Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark and his ever-expanding collection of multi-coloured metal suits. Downey Jr recently hinted as much, while co-star Gwyneth Paltrow also casts doubt on the viability of a fourth Iron Man film in a new interview with Geek Nation. Shane Black's latest instalment has a satisfying denouement that (while not exactly providing closure) certainly ties up a few loose ends for the Stark saga. Its star will be back for The Avengers 2 in 2015, of course.

Further the writer points out that yet Iron Man 3 is on course to break box-office records for the series and could even challenge The Avengers' staggering $1.5bn haul on current projections. Even with the likely preposterous cost of retaining Downey Jr, who will be out of contract after The Avengers 2, Marvel will presumably think long and hard about replacing their most bankable star for future instalments.

Then the writer reports that nevertheless there is a strong argument that the studio ought to be planning for a time when their man has flown the high-tech coop. While the next Avengers film seems the most likely farewell vehicle, I'd argue that Downey Jr should be given one more solo outing to hand over the mantle to a successor. Casting someone else as Tony Stark without a "reboot gap" of at least a few years might just lead to an audience revolt, and Marvel will want to avoid having Iron Man unavailable for solo or Avengers duty.

The writer points out that the sensible solution therefore seems to be to use the fourth film to put a new character in the suit (and I don't mean Don Cheadle's Iron Patriot/War Machine). Downey Jr's performance has been so singular that he fully deserves the right to see Stark's Iron Man retired, albeit temporarily.

Further the author states that there are plenty of instances in the comic books where someone else but Stark has been the occupant of the suit. In fact, the useful thing about Iron Man is that almost anyone could be inside – a point the latest episode regularly flags up. If the film saga needs to depart a little from the established canon, few are likely to complain. Jon Favreau, and now Black, have made Iron Man a first-tier superhero in the way his comic book source never was. Marvel Studios have more than earned the right to make whichever changes they see fit.

The author points out that there are other ways forward, of course. With so many superheroes to choose from (even with Spider-Man, the X-Men and Fantastic Four currently tied up at other film companies) the studio ought to be able to get away with resting its main players for a couple of years to help rebuild audience anticipation. Who is to say that the forthcoming Ant Man and Guardians of the Galaxy movies, or even as-yet-unimagined adaptations based on lesser-known figures might not prove just as successful on the big screen as Iron Man? And if the studio does need a more obvious big-hitter, it was recently announced that Marvel has won back the rights to Daredevil.

In conclusion the writer say that Matt Murdock may have been put through the ignominy of a 2003 outing featuring Ben Affleck in that purple gimp suit, but in the right hands he ought to be more than capable of taking the weight off Iron Man. There is even a comic book in which Daredevil joins the "New Avengers", a rival superhero combo featuring figures such as Spider-Man, Wolverine and The Thing. Might Marvel employ a similar rotation policy, like a football manager who knows that even his best players will only perform at their best if allowed time for rest and recuperation?There is another, rarely-mentioned option. Marvel could simply opt to rake up the cash to keep an increasingly elderly Downey Jr on as Iron Man for decades to come. But even though he looks pretty good for 48, I wonder if the world is quite ready for a late 80s Roger Moore James Bond take on the character. His suit might increase in power as Stark slips into doddery pensioner territory, of course, but surely better to give Stark a well-deserved retirement tinkering with techy gadgets in his LA basement while Pepper Potts browses daytime TV and Jarvis wonders what to cook for dinner.

To my mind, this article is really worth reading. Having read about  a possible ending of a series of films of Iron Man I was really impressed ! I disagree with the statement that  Spider-Man, the X-Men and Fantastic are better than Iron Man. So I believe that this series of that films should be continued.

Mansfield Park by Jane Austen (Chapters 17-24)

Edmund acceded to play Anhalt in the play. Mrs. Grant gave her consent to play the part of the cottager’s wife. The repetitions of the play went on. Tom invited everyone to the performance of the play. Mrs. Norris made Fanny to sew the costumes. The rehearsals were dispersed around the house. Sir Thomas was introduced to Mr. Rushworth as Maria’s groom. After some time, Edmund clarified to his father his participation in the theatrical. Mr. Yates left there and Sir Thomas was sincerely content to see him away from his son Tom and daughter Julia. Fanny was embarrassed that Edmund said that she had grown into a beautiful woman. Fanny came to see Mary and they strolled in the garden. Edmund was really glad to see two so dear to him people to become friends. Lady Bertram was perplexed that Fanny should eat with the Grants. Sir Thomas believed that it was right that Mrs. Grant should respect Lady Bertram’s niece. Edmund paid a compliment to Fanny on her dress. Henry Crawford was a surprise visitor at dinner. He delayed to come back to London because he would make Fanny fall in love with him. Reproaching that he desired Fanny because she didn’t desire him, Mary alerted him not to dip her into love. Fanny’s brother William came back and looked in Mansfield. Henry was delighted with William’s adventures.

The headline of the article is Christian Bale may return as Batman in Justice League movie. The article was created on Tuesday 5 March 2013 11.59 GMT. The author of the article is Ben Child. The purpose of the article is to give the readers some information about a possible return of Christian Bale as Batman in Justice League movie. 

The writer states that Christian Bale will return as Batman opposite Henry Cavill's Superman in a Justice League movie overseen by Christopher Nolan, according to an influential US blog.

The author tells us that Latino Review, which has broken a number of stories surrounding the Superman and Batman franchises in the past, says Warner Bros is desperate to bring the team behind the hugely successful Dark Knight trilogy back for its planned superhero ensemble movie. 

Further the writer points out that by teaming Bale with Cavill, the star of this summer's heavily hyped Zack Snyder-directed Man of Steel, the studio believes it could compete with Joss Whedon's The Avengers II and JJ Abrams' Star Wars: Episode VII.

Then the writer reports that Latino Review says Nolan would oversee the film and sequels in much the same way as he was brought in to "godfather" Man of Steel. Snyder would also produce and possibly direct.

Further the author states that Bale and Nolan had previously said that last year's The Dark Knight Rises would be their final Batman film.

However, Bale told Empire magazine last year he would consider returning for a fourth instalment if Nolan came to him with a great story.

The author points out that Justice League, which Warner is preparing for release in 2015, is based on the comic book that sees Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and other superheroes combining to fight Earth's enemies. Six years ago Babe director George Miller oversaw an abandoned attempt to bring the story to the big screen, unconnected to previous films in either series and with different actors playing Batman and Superman.

However, Disney-owned Marvel's launch of several superhero films based on characters such as Iron Man, Thor and Captain America before combining them into the $1.5bn The Avengers has changed the way studios approach the genre.

In conclusion the writer say that early reports from test screenings for Man of Steel have suggested Warner could have a hit on its hands. The studio has refused to comment on Latino Review's Justice League scoop. 

To my mind, this article is really worth reading. Having read about  a possible return of Christian Bale as Batman I was really glad! No one else plays this role better than him!  

Mansfield Park by Jane Austen (Chapters 9-16)

Mr. Rushworth and his mother had a party. There Mary Crawford sneered at Edmund’s choice of profession. Edmund reproached her critique and Fanny agreed with him. Then Edmund and Mary walked on together and left Fanny to rest. Maria with Henry and Mr. Rushworth turned up to discover Fanny alone. After some time, Fanny went to find Edmund and Mary who were enjoying each other. The visit ended with an evening coming back to Mansfield.  Soon in August the open season attracted Tom home from Antigua. After some time, Mr. Yates came with the design of bringing into play a particular performance at Mansfield Park. Edmund would not act and tried to discourage his sisters from doing that. In the end, it was decided to play a Lovers’ Vows. The play required three male characters and two female ones and three ladies. Mary Crawford would be Amelia. Tom enlisted Fanny to be Cottager’s wife, however she would not act. As for Edmund, he would ruefully play Anholt to keep the privacy and with hope to influence the manner of the play.

The headline of the article is My hero: Mae West. The article was created on Friday 12 April 2013 16.00 BST. The author of the article is Kathy Lette. The purpose of the article is to give the readers some information about was an American actress, singer, playwright, screenwriter and sex symbol Mae West.

The writer clarifies that as if Mae West's mix of talents – comedian, playwright, director, producer, novelist and sex siren, weren't enough to make any writer impale herself on her pen, West was also a feminist who makes Madonna look like Julie Andrews, an intellectual who rubbed shoulders with the Roosevelts, and a civil libertarian who went to jail in defence of freedom of expression.

Further the author reports that Today, when the only creative muscle exercised by cinema stars is in their control-top tights, and screen-writers are the most put-upon of literary prostitutes, we can only marvel at the business acumen of a woman who invented the droit morale in her Paramount contracts, meaning each film had to be made "to her satisfaction".

The writer points out that through the seismic days of the Wall Street crash and the struggling New Deal, West first mounted her unique pedestal: an icon who raised eyebrows for a living.

Further the author tells us that the actress' first play, which she wrote, directed and starred in, was coolly titled Sex. When raided by police, rather than close the play, West chose to stand trial.

Then, the judge convicted her of "corrupting the morals of youth" and sentenced her to Devil's Island where she saw enough of homosexuality to write her next play, The Drag. Opening night saw an unscheduled third act; a team of New York's finest rushed on stage and arrested the entire cast.

The writer states that the box office declared West "not guilty" on the grounds that the US supreme court was later to recognise as a defence to obscenity – she had a "redeeming social purpose". She combined sexuality with satire, at a time when Bible-bashing, prohibition America desperately needed a cure for its irony deficiency. 

Further the author tells that what makes West so fascinating is that she accomplished all this in an era when women were meant to be decorative and domesticated. Her domesticity was limited to the sewing of wild oats and the barbecuing of sacred cows – entire herds.

In conclusion the writer say that in a man's world, she had what it took to take what they had.

To my mind, this article is really worth reading. Having read about Mae West's life I was really impressed ! I believe that this actress deserves respect because she was one of the more controversial movie stars of her day!

Mansfield Park by Jane Austen (Chapters 1-8)

Maria married to prosperous Sir Thomas Bertram from Mansfield Park, Miss Ward to a priest Rev. Mr. Norris from Mansfield, and Frances to an officer Price. Thirty years passed Mrs. Norris suggested an act of charity due to lack of money. She proposed that one of the Price daughters come to live at Mansfield Park. Fanny Price who was ten years old arrived and met her cousins Julia and Maria. However, only Edmund was good to her and helped her write a letter to her brother William. A few years later, Edmund went to Oxford. Fanny aged fifteen. Her Aunt Norris’ husband died. Edmund returned and became the man of the house. The old grey pony died, so Edmund traded one of his three horses for a suitable ladies mount for Fanny. After a time, Fanny passed the age of 18 years. Mr. and Miss Crawford arrived in Mansfield and joint their sister Mrs. Grant at the parsonage. They were interesting young people with a fortune. Edmund and Fanny talked over Mary Crawford and found her good-looking but very indecent. Edmund taught Mary Crawford to ride, so Fanny’s horse was appropriated and she had to share the mount. Mary kept Fanny waiting for her turn longer than arranged. It irritated Fanny. Mr. Rushworth, a man of large fortune, and his mother arrived for a visit. Mrs. Rushworth entreated Lady Bertram to join the party. The number of the party and the carriage arrangements were discussed. The party departed for Sotherton and the scenery was amazing. Julia was pleased to sit next to Henry and Maria was envious.

The headline of the article is Daniel Craig reveals he wanted Skyfall to be his last James Bond film.The article was created on Thursday 8 November 2012 11.45 GMT. The author of the article is Ben Child.  The purpose of the article is to give the readers some information about a famous actor Daniel Craig's decision not to act as James Bond any more.

The writer reports that Daniel Craig has suggested that the finish line for himself as James Bond is not far away, during an interview with Rolling Stone to promote new 007 adventure Skyfall in the US. Despite having recently signed on to star in at least two more Bond films, Craig revealed he had been planning to end his stint as the suave British secret agent.

Further the author gives the actor's quote: "I've been trying to get out of this from the very moment I got into it," he told the magazine. "But they won't let me go, and I've agreed to do a couple more, but let's see how this one does, because business is business and if the shit goes down, I've got a contract that somebody will happily wipe their ass with."

Then the writer clarifies that it is not known when Craig conducted the Rolling Stone interview, but it is quite likely that it was some time before Skyfall wowed critics and drove all before it at the box office, in the process becoming one of the most successful Bond films of all time. 

Moreover, Sam Mendes's movie has just passed the $320m mark at the global box office, according to some reports, and is set to hit $400m (£251m) by the end of the weekend even without factoring in its debut tomorrow at the US box office.

Further the author tells us that industry reports suggest Skyfall will take at least $70m (£44m) in North America on opening, beating the previous best for a Bond film, $67m for 2008's Quantum of Solace. The 23rd 007 outing is well on course to become the highest-grossing film in the series so far, ahead of the $594m total posted by Craig debut Casino Royale in 2006.  

The author points out that Spanish actor Javier Bardem (who plays villain Silva in Skyfall) has "revealed" he was once offered the role of 007 but turned it down. Bardem told CinemaBlend: "Years ago, I was [offered Bond]. I don't remember what movie it was for. But yeah, it just was not that time. I didn't feel that it was the time for me to do something like that. And also, I was doing something else, so I passed. This time, when I read it, I felt that it was very powerful material, and I wanted to join [a Bond movie]."

Further the author gives us  the Oscar-winner's quote: No. I have passed on many things that I could easily regret, but I don't regret any of them, because that also gives room for something else to come that I'm proud of," he said. "Even if those things were not beautifully executed, those were the things that I believed in at the time."  

In conclusion the writer say that CinemaBlend is claiming Bardem's comments as an exclusive, but it is not clear whether the actor misunderstood the question and thought he was being asked if he had been offered a role in a Bond film, rather than the part of 007 himself. Production company Eon usually casts actors who can at least appear to be British, and Bardem is about as Spanish as they come.

To my mind, this article is really worth reading. Having read about Daniel Craig's decision I was really upset!No one else plays this role better than him! As for that spanish actor Javier Bardem who was offered the role of 007, I don't like him!
