English 111 Review of My Fair Lady

In the story "My Fair Lady", George Bernard Shaw tells about how the attitude of people can change just by the language that they speak. He begins by telling about Eliza Doolittle and how all her life she has talked and acted like none of the people around her. She talks incorrectly and acted like a slob. But she meets these two men, Henry Higgins and Colonal Pickering and they take he in and end up changing her into a prim and proper lady who talks and acts correctly. I really enjoy this story because it makes me think about how people in that day and age would actually take someone under their wing and take the time to teach them the correct way to speak and act. This is a really good book and I encourage anyone that has the time to read it.

It's not like the musicals of today that may have one or even two songs that stand out from the rest as a true work of art. This book gives you page after page of pure musical genius! For all of you who know and love "My Fair Lady" or for those of you who are just interested in good music, this book is a must-have.
