[RWET] Final: The power of polar opposite

As I was working on my thesis, I researched on the subject of Child Bride and learned that Poverty and Gender Ineqality are two of the primary reasons that this practice still persists across cultures and nations. Gender inequality, like the Child Bride is a heavy subject itself, I wonder if there is other ways or perspective to tackle the the issue with a diverse and lighter touch, while bringing two worlds of perspective together.

I started by selecting a few source text, and these are the four I chose: <Lean In> by Sheryle Sandberg, <BJ Diary> original script, <50 shades of Grey> by EL James and <Pride and Prejudice> by Jane Austin.

I started by running a few demos. Here is a side by side comparison with <Lean In> and <BJ Diary>

And this is a (testing?) summary of <50 shades> and <Pride&Prejudice>

50shades_summarize

pride_summarize

This is what it looks like if I use synonym to re-write the opening paragraph of <50 shades>

50shades_syn

And <Pride&Prejudice>:

pride_syn

 

Then I wonder what would happen If I bring two worlds together by randomly selecting two chapters from two books respectively and re-write a new book with a title<50 shades of pride & prejudice> — and here is the summary of the new book:

50 shades of pride

and Here is the preview of a chapter :
