The body is one of the issues raised in the history of human thought. In most societies, women are more attentive to the beauty and appearance, and show more sensitivity and attention to his body. This concern with them to adopt some of the excessive behavior to match their physical properties.

1.      Definition of beauty
Most girls believe that beauty has been made of two apparent and intrinsic dimensions which should not be ignored for definition.
2.      Aesthetic criteria and reasons for selection
Having fit body is an aesthetic criterion of a person in the girls’ view. They regard the reason for selection of criterion is the effect which this criterion has on attraction and social acceptance and only few regard this criterion reason as health reason.

One of their most important criteria for selecting cloth is having fit body and the next criteria are being orderly and tidy and having suitable color and material. Few girls regard criterion for selecting cloth as veil and its suitability with the related environment.
5.      Effect of environment and fashion on beauty
86.6% of the interviewees believe that environment has considerable effect on beauty because human being can be affected as he can affect many cases. Extent of this effect is based on personalities of the persons and different environments. According to the interviewees, fashion can have effect or not because most of them believe that it is relative and should be measured on the basis of factors such as makeup and veil and taste of the person.

The present study studied attitude of the students studying in University of Shiraz, Faculty of Social Sciences toward beauty. Methodology of the research was qualitative and information gathering tool was deep interview. In fact, many of them believe that intrinsic beauty complements apparent beauty. Having fit body attracts attention and social acceptance. Having beauty causes self confidence for the person and the person achieves intrinsic satisfaction and social acceptance.
As result, the best way of access to beauty is use of cosmetics and makeup in order to prevent these problems and use of other ways such as physical exercise or surgery as the next stage. Besides these cases, the interviewees considered effect of cloth on beauty of the person and believe that not only it doubles beauty, but also it indicates personality and the best cloth is the one which is suitable for the body, tidy and orderly.

    V.            Critical Review
In my opinion the whole of this journal is good, I do agree that religious beliefs and education have a big impact on a person's beauty but religious beliefs have a greater effect of education they have. In this journal, some of the respondents emphasized the effect of mode of existing in the neighborhood.
Fashion is also very influential on a person's beauty. Beauty is also related to fashion or fashion that they wear, their attitude toward fashion themselves and their beliefs about the culture of fashion that they wear. Beauty can’t be defined because it is easy to understand but difficult to define.
From this journal, beauty can be classified as three kinds such as : Tangible beauty, Intangible beauty, and Reasonable beauty. I would rather choose the reasonable beauty because this beauty is perceived with reasoning power of the person. We can show the beauty as the good acts and many people regard that the reasonable beauty is the important and real beauty.
Many women especially young women always pay attention to their body by using make up and cosmetics. makeup is related to dynamicity of character. In this sense, in addition that it is an important means of hiding or manifesting different life aspects, it is regarded as pretention means because it links common traditions and principles to personal identity.
Long ago, cosmetics were almost completely natural. Although there may be no supporting evidence to prove that there were any synthetic cosmetics some may argue so. 
Most cosmetics today are synthetic and can cause lots of damage to our body. This is why many people prefer natural cosmetics, which is the trend today.
So there are two ways to view the benefits and disadvantages of make-up. One being that if you are using make-up and its natural its good for you and if you are using synthetic make-up, its possible in the near future you will severly damage your body.
The other view is the pyschological factor. Make-up can help boost their confidence. It only becomes a problem when someone must rely on make-up to believe their appearance is beautiful. This can be even more aggrivated when certain cosmetics begin to destroy your skin.
The important thing is you have to choose the natural cosmetics or I suggest to do not use cosmetics if you want to be a beautyful woman.
Beautiful in my view is how we can cover our hearts to keep it beautiful in the eyes of all people, especially men. we do not need to use excessive make-up because of the beauty will shine by itself.

The plot of this story namely:
·         The plot’s focus on marriage is seen from the very beginning of the story. The arrival of Mr. Bingley, a single man of large fortune’ at near-by Netherfield immediately fires the imagination of Mrs. Bennet.
·         Mr. Collins is introduced into the plot to reveal the negative side of marriage. He is a sycophant, a pompous clergyman, and an odd combination of ‘servility and self importance’. He is a deliberately constructed, grotesque figure, who is desperate to marry for any reason.

Elizabeth’s prejudice really begins to thaw under the warmth he emits during the visit; but just as the two are about to be reconciled, tragedy strikes. Lydia has eloped with Wickham, and Elizabeth is summoned to Longbourn. Ironically, Lydia’s crass behavior threatens to fatally injure the chances of her two admirable sisters to attract Bingley and Darcy.
·         In the end, Lydia’s elopement provides an opportunity for Darcy to prove his worth to Elizabeth. He convinces Wickham to marry Lydia, by offering him a large sum of money.
·         The fully developed and tightly constructed plot clearly centers on marriage in its various forms. It is the central theme that binds the plot together. Therefore, the natural end of the novel comes with Jane’s marriage to Bingley and Elizabeth’s marriage to Darcy. Love has conquered all - both pride and prejudice.


*      Conflict:
Because Mr. Bennet has no sons, and the British tradition was only bequeath property to the successor of the man, so if Mr. Bennet dies someday, which would inherit the entire estate is Mr. William Collins, a nephew of his father that they do not know.

It turned out that Mr. Bingley did not come alone, but together with her ​​sister Lady Caroline and her friend, Mr. Darcy. At rest, Mrs. Bennet urges her husband to introduce their daughter to Mr. Bingley.

*      Climax
Climax of that story is when Elizabeth got the information that made her sister (Jane) broke with Mr.Bingley was Darcy itself. She was very angry hearing that. Her angry has closed her feeling to him. When Darcy expressed her feeling to her, she refused his love. She wanted to him responsible for making Jane broke with Mr.Bingley and still asking about his act to Wickham. On the following night, when Elizabeth was daydreaming in her room, Darcy came and put the letter on the table in her room. She turned her body back while seeing him went away with his horse. Then she read the letter that contain the explanation about his act on making Jane with Bingley broke and about Mr. Wickham. From there, Elizabeth visited  to her aunt’s house in town and from there they visited Pemberley, Mr.Darcy’s house which opened for all. Because Mr.Darcy was seldom stayed there, Elizabeth accepted to come there. Actually, Mr.Darcy was there. They met there. Elizabeth hurried to go to her Inn. In the night, Mr.Darcuy came to Elizabeth’s house to invite them for dinner tomorrow in his house.

*      Resolution:

Although it’s really hard to be happy for Elizabeth with her love because of many troubles in their life, but the truth will always come before it’s really late. Therefore, we should to imitate the story of Elizabeth to be the strong people to find our true love. Be patient and prays, hopefully we will find our true love as Mr. Darcy love Elizabeth forever.

*      Point of view:
The writer as Third Person, because the narration typically stays with Elizabeth, although it occasionally offers us information that Elizabeth isn't aware of (like Charlotte's pursuit of Mr. Collins). The third person point of view is a form of storytelling in which a narrator relates all action in third person, using third person pronouns such as "he" or "she." Third person point of view may be omniscient or limited. Often new writers feel most comfortable with first person. This third person view lends a cold dimension to the novel, in the sense that dialogue, opinions, ideas, and events dominate the story rather than emotions. Elizabeth is the exception to this rule – Chapter 36, for example, is devoted entirely to her emotional transformation following her receipt of Darcy's letter. In contrast, even though we do often get to hear the thoughts of others, it's usually in shorter, less complex bursts.

2.      Make a summarize of that story :
