The literary masterpieces here, apart from those written by Shakespeare, are not present, so Kevin can write as he pleases. However, precisely because of this, he was momentarily unsure of what to write.
Britain is different from China. There is no online literature here, and I can't publish like I used to before my rebirth. The only way to publish articles here is through publishing houses or newspapers.
Do you have to gather the poems of great poets like Shelley or Yeats together and compile them into a poetry collection?
But Kevin didn't want that. He only participated in the poetry competition today because he was short on time. Now he has plenty of time and can completely write a classic masterpiece.
For example, Randall's "Dialogues of Fantasy," Austin's "Pride and Prejudice," Emily Brontë's "Wuthering Heights," or it could also be Conan's "Sherlock Holmes," Lamb's "Essays of Elia," and so on.After all, these are literary masterpieces of the modern British world, and even after many years, they are still bestsellers in major libraries.
So, Kevin wrote down their names one by one in his notebook:
"Sherlock Holmes" To be written
"Harry Porter" to be written,
"Robinson Crusoe" to be written
"Pride and Prejudice" to be written
"Wuthering Heights" to be written
"Gulliver's Travels" to be written
"The Desolate World" to be continued...
Kevin used three pages of paper just to record a portion of British literary works. After all, in England on Earth, the level of literature has always been very advanced, with thirteen writers alone having won the Nobel Prize in Literature. The most in the world.
"Which one should I write after all?" Kevin pondered for a long time before finally making a decision.
"Yes, let's write about Charlotte Brontë's 'Jane Eyre.' Kevin still remembers the most classic line from Charlotte Brontë's 'Jane Eyre': 'Do you think because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! - I have as much soul as you - and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you.' Wasn't Kevin rejected by Linda when he confessed his feelings before? Wasn't he mocked as a hopeless poor guy with no future? So writing about 'Jane Eyre' is the best choice. Because its story will tell people that no matter if we are poor, obscure, plain, or little, we all have intact souls, sincere hearts, and we can all pursue love and the beauty we desire."
"Jane Eyre" is Charlotte Brontë's masterpiece, which has received numerous praises since its publication in October 1847. Thackeray praised it as "a masterpiece of a great genius." George Elliot was deeply enchanted by "Jane Eyre." Eugene Fossard described "Jane Eyre" as "full of vibrant personalities."
This is mainly because "Jane Eyre" is Charlotte Brontë's "poetic portrayal of life," a work with autobiographical elements. The book tells the story of a British woman who becomes an orphan at a young age, constantly pursuing freedom and dignity through various hardships, insisting on herself, and ultimately finding happiness.
It fascinatingly showcases the twists and turns of the love story between the male and female protagonists, singing of challenging all old customs and prejudices, successfully shaping a woman who dares to resist, dares to fight for freedom and equality.
This is also one of the reasons why Kevin chose to write it down first, so this plot-rich story is sure to cause a stir in the literary world.
Without hesitation, Kevin immediately turned on the second-hand old computer his father had bought by scrimping and saving, and started typing away.
The novel "Jane Eyre" contains hundreds of thousands of words throughout, even with Kevin's exceptional memory, he couldn't possibly remember every detail of each chapter.
Maybe it was a special ability obtained during the rebirth, Kevin suddenly had a search engine in his mind, which allowed him to easily search through the literary memories of the entire Earth.
For example, when he wanted to write "Jane Eyre," as long as he searched his memory for "Jane Eyre," the search engine would help him bring all the textual content of "Jane Eyre" into his mind. This made things much more convenient and efficient for him. At least he didn't have to wrack his brains trying to recall the content.
With this search engine, Kevin didn't need to think much at all. He just had to type away on the keyboard.
In order to finish writing "Jane Eyre" as soon as possible, he stayed in his room typing on the keyboard after dinner. Fortunately, Old Stephen was unaware of Kevin's embarrassing confession at school, otherwise he would surely worry about what might happen to him.
"Kevin, what's wrong with you today? You went back to your room right after dinner? Don't you usually watch Hollywood movies on the sofa at this time?"
"Dad, I don't feel like watching a movie now. Oh, do you need anything?"
"I and your mom are going to take a walk in Hollerith Park, wondering if you'd like to join us," Old Stephen smiled kindly.
Holyrood Park is a well-known location in the city of Edinburgh. It is located at the other end of the Royal Mile from the Palace of Holyroodhouse. The park is not only attractive for its picturesque scenery, but sometimes Edinburgh's art festival also holds outdoor performances here, making it the busiest time for visitors in the park.
And behind the park, there is a dead volcano shaped like a lion, with the summit known as Arthur's Seat. Climbing this mountain, you can enjoy the breathtaking Edinburgh scenery, the feeling is simply wonderful.
If it were before, Kevin might not have refused. After all, he was also free with nothing to do. If he went out for a stroll, he might even bump into those girls wearing low-cut tops and strike up a conversation with them.But today was different. Kevin couldn't wait to write down "Jane Eyre," so he simply smiled and wished old Stephen a good time. "Dad, I don't think I can go out with you and mom today. Have fun. Oh, and when you come back, remember to bring some fruits, there are hardly any left in the fridge." "Alright, my dear Kevin."
After the two of them left, Kevin started opening the search engine in his mind again, quickly tapping on the keyboard...
The time is passing, and the night in Edinburgh is gradually deepening, soon reaching the late hours. The night in Edinburgh is different from the nights in other cities; it lacks the football atmosphere of Manchester City and Liverpool, as well as the fashionable taste of London and Arsenal.
However, the nights in Edinburgh always have an unparalleled beauty, especially when you gaze at the entire city with your eyes, you will be deeply intoxicated by its beauty, and it is hard to pinpoint its uniqueness. Perhaps this is the magic of this city.
And so, Kevin quietly tapped away at "Jane Eyre" in his room, alone, until late into the night before going to sleep.
When he woke up the next day, he dragged his tired body to the University of Edinburgh. Life is sometimes so coincidental, Kevin had just arrived at a redwood forest in Edinburgh when he saw Linda and Augustine walking together.
Linda and Augustine also saw Kevin's figure. Perhaps feeling embarrassed, Linda seemed to want to walk away. However, Augustine stubbornly held her hand and made a kissing gesture.
Kevin didn't mind or get angry because Linda was just someone he used to like, not the person he is now. Besides, he knew that Augustine was just showing off in front of him.
Therefore, Kevin was unwilling to witness the affectionate scene between the couple of dogs and was about to leave by taking a detour.
But Augustine suddenly stopped him.
"Hey, Kevin, good morning. Oh, sorry, I didn't see you just now."
"Good morning, all of you." Kevin also politely replied.
Augustine thought Kevin would leave feeling inferior, but he didn't expect Kevin to still be able to smile and reply. For a moment, he didn't know what to do. In the end, Linda stepped in to speak.
"Kevin, are you okay these days? I heard you drank too much, and almost..."
To be honest, Linda is indeed very beautiful, deserving of the title of the Edinburgh University campus belle. Those proud twin peaks, slender figure, and a pair of beautiful eyes.
Eyes, shining brightly even among numerous celebrities.
But when he thought of her rejecting Kevin in front of so many people, Kevin felt very uncomfortable.
"It's nothing, I won't die. Oh, congratulations, you finally found a wealthy boyfriend," Kevin said with a smile.
"Thank you, and I wish you happiness too."
"Alright, I'm going to the church now, you guys have fun."
After a smile, Kevin completely left the couple. His calm demeanor left Augustine and Linda completely puzzled.
After arriving at the church, Kovani was the first to approach.
"Hey buddy, did you know that Linda is really dating Augustine now?"
"Just found out they kissed right in front of me," Kevin said nonchalantly.
"What? Linda and Augustine are really out of line, aren't they? She shouldn't have said in front of so many people that you are a hopeless pauper that day," Kovani said indignantly.
"No, she's right. I used to be a hopeless poor guy. But, Kovani, remember, that was just the past, only the past."
"Well, I believe you, you are a promising person. However, it is said that this time Linda confessed to Augustine first," Kovani continued.
"Kevin, you can't really blame Linda. Linda's childhood dream has always been to become an actress. It's said that Augustine's father is preparing to shoot a movie. And as a screenwriter, he has the right to choose some of the actors, that's why Linda likes Augustine. This way, she can have the opportunity to get into the film and television industry," said a girl next to them.
"She may not accept Kevin, but there's no need to publicly call Kevin a hopeless loser in front of so many people. Do you understand? This is a big blow to Kevin. Kovani, as Kevin's best friend, will naturally retaliate with full force. It was his own choice to confess to Linda in front of so many people, who can he blame. Besides, what Linda said was also the truth..."
"You say that again..."
Kovani was about to engage in a heated debate with Kevin, but was pulled away by Kevin.
"Kevin, don't get angry. Kardashian and Linda are in cahoots, they are both the same, the kind of materialism that God detests the most," Kovani reassured, worried that Kevin might misinterpret the other's words.
"Don't worry, I've already said it. That was just in the past. Well, it's time for us to go to class."
After speaking, Kevin returned to his seat.
As for this matter, he wouldn't care at all after being reborn. He firmly believed in possessing the memory system of those masterpieces of British literature on Earth. He would definitely become the pride of the University of Edinburgh, the pride of Edinburgh, and even the pride of the entire Scotland and Britain.
And all he needed was time.
