1) Read Jane Eyre by Charolette Brontë - Chapters 1-10 (pages 1-96).
2) Please use the questions below as a guide, and compose a blog response for our class discussion.
1. Review the following passage: “I began to recall what I had heard of dead men, troubled in their graves by the violation of their last wishes, revisiting the earth to punish the perjured and avenge the oppressed; and I thought Mr. Reed's spirit, harassed by the wrongs of his sister's child, might quit its abode—whether in the church vault or in the unknown world of the departed—and rise before me in this chamber. I wiped my tears and hushed my sobs, fearful lest any sign of violent grief might waken a preternatural voice to comfort me, or elicit from the gloom some haloed face, bending over me with strange pity” (16). How does this passage contribute to the gothic effects in the novel? Remember that Jane is ten years old. How typical are these insights for a child this age? Later, Jane comments that the incident gave her nerves such a shock that she feels the “reverberation to this day” (19).
Analyze the thought of a frightening childhood incident and its ability to imprint itself on a person’s long-term memory.
2. Review the following quotation: “I always took my doll; human beings must love something, and in the dearth of worthier objects of affection, I contrived to find a pleasure in loving and cherishing a faded graven image, shabby as a miniature scarecrow” (28). In your own words, what is Jane saying about the need for love?
3. Compare the religious attitudes of Helen Burns to those of Mr. Brocklehurst. With which views does Jane want her readers to agree or sympathize? Cite text to support your answer.
4. How do Miss Temple and Helen Burns affect Jane’s attitudes about life? Give examples to support your ideas.
5. Examine the harsh living conditions present at Lowood. What are some of the difficulties encountered by Jane and the other girls? What message does this send about the life of orphaned children? What statement does this make about those who are commissioned to run organizations that provide for the care of others?
6. Review the following passage: “If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust, the wicked people would have it all their own way: they would never feel afraid, and so they would never alter, but would grow worse and worse” (57). Do you agree with this philosophy? Why or why not? How might this be applicable in today’s society?
During Janes first days at Lowood Institution she discovers many negative factors that come with her new home and the people living in her community. Jane finds herself living in harsh conditions, being underfed, overworked, and forced to pay attention during their endless school sermens. Jane describes the sleeping conditions saying "when I laid down I glanced at the long rows of beds, each of which was quickly filled with two occupants; in ten minutes the single light was extinguished, and amidst the silence and complete darkness I fell asleep". After reading about Jane and the girls' living conditions at Lowood I understand that during these times an orphaned child was not a priority in society. Social hierarchies were still very prominent during these times so I feel like an orphaned child taken from a "normal" family means, to their society, that they aren't really going anywhere in their life. The statement this puts out about the people running these institutions, to us, is hard to see. Going back to what I mentioned before about social standing, there were probably very few people in this time who were willing to take care of these children so they jsut took whoever, which most of the time will no work out.
ReplyDelete1)This passage contributes to the gothic feel of the book because it introduces the supernatural, a common theme in gothic literature. The possibility of ghosts and supernatural being add the creepiness and dark vibe of gothic novels. While it is typical of young children to have thoughts of monsters under their bed, Jane’s fears are on a level that is not typical for such a young child. For many people, a traumatizing childhood experience can leave a lasting impact for life. I have a friend that does not like dogs because they were attacked by a dog when they were young, which is a shame because dogs are amazing. Many people’s fears are based on childhood events and fear is a major influence on many people’s decision making.
ReplyDelete2)People always have to love something, even if that something is not inherently valuable or precious. People can project feelings onto items so that they can love something.
3)Helen follows a passive path of religion. She endures all the abuse that she receives but does not try to do anything to stop it from happening. Helen embodies rather than preaches the Christian ideas of love and forgiveness. On the other hand, Mr. Brocklehurst preaches about religion, the strictness and discipline, yet he supports his luxurious lifestyle at the expense of his students. He gains power over his students by embarrassing and demanding them to do ridiculous things, “Naturally! Yes, but we are not to conform to nature: I wish these girls to be the children of Grace: and why that abundance? I have again and again intimated that I desire the hair to be arranged closely, modestly, plainly. Miss Temple, that girl’s hair must be cut off entirely.” Although both characters offer very different views on religion, Jane does not agree with either of them, she believes that a person should stand up to the one causing them pain but not force other people to conform to their beliefs.
4)They are both positive, nice people that Jane met at Lowood and they accepted her unlike other people in her life. They teach her how to be kind and nice to other people. Miss Temple serves as a role model in certain aspects like compansion and elegance.
5)The students suffered at Lowood. They were never well fed and many people died from sickness like Helen. This sends the message that nobody really cared about orphans. Other people had their own kids to care about or other problems so nobody really cared about the orphans. The kids might start to think that nobody cares about them or what happens to them, which is depressing. Even the people running the organizations did not totally care about the kids, they were doing it for their own personal benefit.
6)There is some truth in that, if someone is doing something wrong then someone should stand up to them. Yet not to the point where they always grow worse and worse until. The quote is applying Newton’s first law to cruelty, a person is cruel until an unbalanced force acts upon the cruelty. In the quote, there would always have to be a force pushing the person to more cruelty which there is not really. Plus there can be pushback without directly standing up to a person.
(1) The following passage occurs after Jane is thrown into the Red Room, the room in which Mr. Reed died in, and I think that the reason she thinks about ghosts and the such is because of 3 main reason 1. Being that she is just a 10 year old kid, 2. Mr. Reed died in this room and his final wish was for Mrs. Reed to treat Jane as her one, and Jane from personal experience could tell that Mrs. Reed was not fulfilling Mr. Reeds last wish and 3. The room was creepy at the time because the room was getting dark and she could hear the wind and the rain and suddenly when there is a streak of light (presumably lightning) she was probably scared out of wits and thus leading her to think about Mr. Reed coming back as a ghost. This contributes a lot to the gothic nature of the book because of all the dark and creepy stuff that happens. For a child 10 years old to have that kind of insight speaks volumes of how much she wants to learn and also how many books she has read.
ReplyDelete(Analysis) When someone looks back into their childhood they will remember 2 kinds of events: the good memories and the bad memories. The reason a brain would retain bad memories is because when something bad happens to someone the brain imprints it onto the mind so that they don’t repeat the same mistake again. This is both useful and hurtful. Useful because if the bad event happened because of something you did, then you can learn from it, but if the bad event is just purely bad timing and bad luck it can be torture because no matter how hard you try to avoid the memory it just stays fresh in your mind.
(2) Jane is saying that to be able to live happily humans must love something, and she is also saying that since she did not have worthier objects to love, a shabby scarecrow looking doll will suffice.
(3) According to me Helen is embodies a true religion where you get faith to hang on no matter how hard life gets whereas Mr. Brocklehurst is kind of like a cult in a sense that although a cult is like a religion the leaders almost always only care about themselves
(4) Both Miss Temple and Helen played a huge role in Jane's personality and life policies
(a) The way that Miss Temple changed Jane's life is that she taught Jane the importance of finding the truth about a situation for example if Miss Temple did not take the time to write to Mr. Lloyd to find out the truth then the whole school would have thought that Jane was a liar when she really was not one.
(b)The way Helen changed Jane's life is that Helen was very patient and taught Jane to be kind to others and Jane also admired Helen because Helen was very smart.
(5) Some of the injustices that the girl face is that they are underfed, overworked, don’t have proper warmth (This can be inferred from the fact that the water in the pitchers froze), forced to sit through sermons, Helen getting abused by Miss Scatcherd, Mr. Brocklehurst’s word is law, and a lot of the girls contracted typhus and other diseases which claimed the life of Helen.
(6) The passage is telling us that if we always pardon the ones in the wrong then the people in the wrong are never going to stop what they are doing but instead do much worse stuff. I think agree with this philosophy and that all evil should be nipped at the bud, but I do not believe that this philosophy is right all the time.
1.) The passage sets the gothic tone for the rest of the book because it shows how dark and gloomy Jane’s thoughts can be. Even though Jane is ten years old, it does make sense to why she would have insights like this. She lived with a family that didn’t like her. In the beginning of the story, she finds a book called History of British Birds. What she found most interesting in the story were “the introductory pages that connected themselves with the succeeding vignettes, and gave significance to the rock standing up alone in a sea of billow and spray.” (3). She can connect with the rock because it’s alone in a dreary area.
ReplyDelete2.) When Jane is talking about the doll she is saying that it’s hard find love, and even though it isn’t much she chooses to love it because human beings have to love something. Jane needs love because she lived in an environment where she wasn’t loved and felt inferior. She says that there is a “dearth of worthier objects of affection” because in her gloomy world nobody has shown her compassion, except for her friend Helen who died in her sleep.
3.) Helen shows kindness, and stays true to her religion without being harsh or imposing her ideas on anyone. Mr. Brocklehurst is the opposite of Helen. He is rude, and he doesn’t set a good example of how a devout Christian should act. Mr. Brocklehurst goes out of his way to allow no generosity under his authority. When he talks to Miss Temple he says “the laundress tells me some of the girls have two clean tuckers in a week: it is too much; the rules limit them to one.” (62). It becomes obvious that it would be better if the religious attitudes of people were more like Helen than Mr. Brocklehurst.
4.) Miss Temple and Helen are both kind to Jane. Miss Temple wants to show generosity to the people at Lowood, and Helen wants to be a good friend to Jane. After Mr. Brocklehurst tells everyone to shun Jane on page 67, he punishes her by making her sit down on a stool the whole time. To make Jane feel better Helen smiles at her whenever she got the chance on page 68. Jane reacted to it by saying “What a smile! I remember it now, and i know it was the effluence of fine intellect, of true courage; it lit up her marked lineaments, her thin face, her sunken gray eye, like a reflection from the aspect of an angel.” (68)
5.) Jane and the other girls are mistreated under the supervision of Mr. Brocklehurst. Mr. Brocklehurst ensures that everyone is miserable. This shows that people who run organizations that provide care for others should actually be caring people or else they’ll have a horrible impact on the children.
6.) I do agree with that philosophy. If nobody tries to get in their way they will keep acting as they are. It might be difficult to change them entirely, but it’s important to step up against the ideas of those people, and maybe there would be an impact on them. For example, people who are in prison who go to rehabilitation programs become better people rather than just staying punished and unchanged.
1) The situation that this quote describes occurs when Jane was only ten years old. She frightens herself by thinking about ghosts and spirits while locked in the red room. Given how much has occurred in the room, like Mr. Reed’s death, and her imagination, it is not surprising that she scares herself. This is pretty common for children her age. The fact that it affects her in adulthood reveals how influential someone’s childhood can be. In my opinion, the lasting effect of the red room reflects the general negativity of her youth. This explains why she still remembers it. This quote also sets the gothic tone that the Bronte sisters were known for. The use of a depressing setting like the room, as well as the mentioning of ghosts and misery that Jane feels are all famous parts of gothic writing.
ReplyDelete2)Jane is supporting the idea that humans need to love something or someone. She’s showing how important love and affection is to humans. Jane finds no kindness and love in Gateshead Hall for most of her childhood. Even when Bessie was kind to her, she was initially mean like everyone else was in the house. So, if love cannot be found or given to another person, then it will be in an item or idea.
3) In regards to religion, Helen and Mr. Brocklehurst seem to be exact opposites of one another. Mr. Brocklehurst represents a more strict and dark interpretation of Christianity. He constantly warns Jane of hell and torment if she is to act how she does. He seems to have one particular idea of how religion should be followed, and if someone falls out of line, then it is unacceptable. When Jane mentions that she does not read the Psalms, Mr. Brocklehurst loses his temper. He insults, “That proves you to have a wicked heart; and you must pray to God to change it; to give you a new and clean one; to take away your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh”(30). In contrast, Helen embodies a more tolerant, forgiving, and sympathetic idea of Christianity. As a result, Helen claims to “love your enemies; bless them that curse you…”(58). However, Jane seems to follow neither idea of religion and instead follows her own beliefs. She claims “If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust, the wicked people would have it all their own way: they would never feel afraid, and so they would never alter, but would grow worse and worse…”(57).
4)Both Miss Temple and Helen alter Jane’s perception of life. Miss Temple shows Jane the value of kindness and courage. When Miss Temple sees how horribly the girls are being treated and provided for, she defies Mr. Brocklehurst’s rules. When asked why, “the breakfast was so ill-prepared that the pupils could not possibly eat it; and I dared not allow them to remain fasting until dinner-time(63). Miss Temple shows Jane not only that there is kindness within others, but also the value of integrity and morals. Helen’s loyalty and friendship to Jane also helps lift Jane’s grim perception of life.
5)Jane seems to get no break from maltreatment. Once she leaves Gateshead Hall, she is thrown into Lowood, a school that has horrible management and conditions. Under Mr. Brocklehurst, the girls are poorly fed and mistreated by the staff. They have to make their own clothing and find ways to satisfy basic necessities. Jane Eyre shows how little people think of orphans and how they are ignored. It also says that those who are in charge of taking care of these children are oftentimes the most unqualified for the task. They enforce the idea that orphans are not valued in society.
6)While at Lowood, Jane explains to Helen a belief she has in regards to others. She claims that you can only be so kind to others, because if you are caring to someone who is immoral or cruel, they will continue to act in such a manner. In general, I agree with this statement. There is a point where there is no positive outcome to being kind to someone who is mistreating you or someone else. Like Jane, I think it's important to stand up for yourself instead of being compliant to cruelty.
1) Not only the quote, but the setting of the room adds to the Gothic style of the novel. As a ten year old girl, Jane believes that a ghost of her deceased "father" will come back to the room where he died (where she is) and comfort her because he wants to avenge the oppressed. Usually kids at these ages are comforted by their parents when they think thoughts like these, but knowing nobody listens, believes, or cares about Jane, it adds to the whole creepy and depressed mood of the book thus far. not only would growing up an orphan change the way you look at your life, but to make it worse your family doesn't even love you or care at all about you. This neglect, especially due to how young Jane is will effect her outlook and actions in life greatly. 2) Simply put, Jane is indirectly saying that there is nobody that she loves, as nobody loves her back with in her family, so she has made herself grow to love the doll of hers, even if it looks shabby and "scarecrow"-like. She knows it has unconditional love back to her, and that is what every human should have, that is what she should have. Her love for this doll shows that she is willing to love anything to fulfill that emotion in her heart that her family doesn't provide. 3) Though both Helen Burns and Mr. Brocklehurst are both very religious, she diverge in their practice. Mr Brocklehurst is a very devout christian in his preachings, and he is a very textbook kind of guy. He beleives that liars will burn in hell, and that anything that inst the norm is intolerable and should be put back in its place with proper scolding and lecture. From the very first time Jane meets him, she doesn't like him orhis religious practices. Even though she didn't lye Mr Brocklehurst tells Jane that "all liars will have their portion in the lake burning with fire and brimstone" and that she indirectly should be killed for her sins as he gives her the story of Martha the liar. Helen on the other hand is religious in the forgiving ideological aspect of it. When constantly scolded and made an example of in fro of class by Mrs. Scatcherd, Helen stays calm and proceeds to take the punishment, even in one case, being hit with sticks on the back of the head. Jane likes Helen for this and looks up to her as she stays cool under pressure, and takes punishment even when she isn't at fault. Jane can relate to Helen mistreatment, as well as she is very nice to her too.
ReplyDelete4) Miss Temple and Helen each bring happiness to Jane in times of uncertainty and being alone. From the first day Jane arrives, She is introduced to Miss Temple as being so nice, that Mr Brocklehurst had to confront her about. I am talking about how she gave out extra food to the girls due to make up for the fact that the morning porridge was burned. Helen as well as Miss Temple also greatly influences Jane's life. Even seen when after Helen dies at such a young age, she tells Jane that she will be fine, and that she is actually happy that she will be dying in comfort and warm. Jane, though very unsure as to the exact meaning and severeness behind death and the after life, encourages and helps Helen by staying with her on her final night. This shows the friendship and bond Jane had with Helen. 5) Without proper checks and balances, corrupt people, produce corrupt power, produce corrupt living. With Mr Brocklehurst at the core of the school, every girls is taught to be proper, in every aspect of things. You cannot act out without punishment, you cannot have curled hair, or you must shave it, and you cannot diverge from your orders unless you want to made an example in front of the class. 6) This philosophy is very true. The biggest example of this which comes to mind is Adolf Hitler in WWII Germany. Those apposed to him or his ideology were subject to the Gestapo, or even worse being put in concentration camps. The fact that one made was behind the mass genocide of an entire faction of people is appalling when you look at the global aspect of checks and balances, and how without them, corruption manifests.
ReplyDelete1.)This book has the stereotypical elements I'd expect in a gothic story the dark scary elements of possible ghosts and other supernatural characters exist is what I come to love in gothic stories. As for the implants of events to children I've learnt that the littlest things we fear as kids can make us shake in horror as an adult. I have a friend who got into a car accident as a kid and now he's so afraid of being in cars that he'd rather sometimes walk then ride and risk it being his last.
ReplyDelete2.)Jane feels as though love is at the epicenter of everything that happens in the world and I completely agree I feel like without love We'd still be at square one everything everyone does in this world is out of love. But we all love different things so that affect what we do as a person. Imagine not doing what you felt passionate about I know for me I'd be so bored and feel empty inside.
3.)Helen has a huge passive path of religion. She deals with all the abuse that she receives but does not do anything to stop it from happening. Helen leads by example as a leader should rather than preaches the Christian ideas of love and forgiveness. On the other hand Mr. Brocklehurst preaches about religion, the strictness and discipline, yet he supports his luxurious lifestyle at the expense of his students. This shows how anything can be twisted in a way that personal benefits themselves and back to question 2 Mr.Brocklehurst seems to have love for his own personal gain other the welfare of others. Helen is a simpler love she loves the Christian ideas of love and forgiveness and lives a life style based on it.
4.)miss temple and Helen are both kind people naturally and when Jane is being punished and forced to sit on a stool Helen gives a smile to Jane in hope to cheer her up and that opens Jane eyes up to the idea that maybe not everyone is so heartless
5.) lowood is a nightmarish place to live many are not fed well and many die of sickness and this shows how little respect or care for orphans there is. I know In kingdoms like France they keep a well recorded and care of orphans but they were the only kingdom in all of Europe to do this and it makes you wonder why only them? It's a utter shame that lowood couldn't be a place like France where they would be taken care of.
6.)I feel no choice but to reluctantly have to agree with that philosophy due to the fact that I've experienced this first hand. I've always grown up with the term “kill them with kindness” however I've learnt that leaving some people unchecked in their cruel and unjust nature it'll manifest into something way bigger and wicked. Sometimes I feel like people confuse peace for silence, at work and in the world I've seen or met people who just absolutely abuse the kindness of others to benefit themselves and it makes the whole point of being kind worthless. I'm writing this on Sunday evening and at work one of my fellow workers was at the pride march in Boston she was spat on for holding hands with a girl and she did nothing which I think is the right thing to do but still why do people act the way they do? It feels like such a anomaly and I don't see how people can come to the conclusion to they do about treating others.

1 This quotation contributes to a gothic theme of this novel because it brings in the element of the supernatural and ghosts. Not only seeing a ghost, but also the room seemed very eerie. This seems common for a 10 year old to think that they saw a ghost, I’m pretty sure I thought the same thing when I was that age. Things that happen in your childhood are very crucial for your development and stay with you for the rest of your life.
ReplyDelete2 Jane is saying that humans have to love something, and that you can find love in anything, including objects.
3 Helen has a very positive outlook on life and her religion, she believes in loving her enemies and being content with life. On the other hand, Mr. Brocklehurst is more of a devout christian. He takes everything very seriously and sometimes too literally. The religious attitudes of Helen is more desirable than Mr. Brocklehurst’s.
4 They both brought a very positive vibe to her which she never really had from her family. Also, if it weren't for Ms. Temple, her reputation at the school would have been worse because no one understood where she came from and how hard her life was before.
5 In the beginning of chapter 6, the girls weren't able to wash themselves because the water was too cold. She also learns that the girls are overworked and underfed which is a recipe for exhaustion. This shows that commissioned organizations don't always care about the people they are caring for.
6 I agree and disagree with this philosophy. I believe that people should say something to them if they are acting that way, but there is also the phrase “kill them with kindness”. I definitely lean more towards agreeing with the statement because i don't really believe killing them with kindness is very effective.
1) This passage contributes to the gothic effects of the novel because it introduces an eerie, supernatural aspect. The name of the room itself, "the Red Room", is creepy to begin with and the fact that her uncle died in there furthers the feeling of uneasiness in the scene. The idea of a dead man rising from his grave to avenge the violation of his last wishes, and leaning over Jane with a haloed face, creates a dark image.
ReplyDelete2) Jane is saying that humans need something to love, even if that something is a shabby doll.
3) Helen preaches passiveness, love, and forgiveness. She endures the wrongs against her and rather than getting angry she chooses to live and let live. She embodies a peaceful and sympathetic version of Christianity. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Mr Brocklehurst is a strict and extremely rigid Christian. He believes in very strict rules, and harsh discipline for anyone who dares to break those rules. He is no where near compassionate, he humiliates his students and leads a very selfish life while preaching Christian ideas.
4) Ms Temple and Helen are basically the only people who are kind to Jane and are her only positive role models.
5) The girls at Lowood are horrifyingly mistreated by the staff. They are underfed, don't have proper clothing or heat, are forced to sit through long sermons, and don't get the correct treatment for illnesses. This shows how orphans were barely viewed as people in society.
6) I don't agree nor do I disagree with this philosophy. People should not be allowed to constantly mistreat others with no repercussions, but however there is benefit to letting go of grudges, taking the high road, and choosing to live peacefully while others live hatefully.
(1) With the use of themes and motifs that define the gothic genre, (i.e dark scenery, the supernatural/unexplained forces that are beyond human comprehension, haunting or those who have died returning in spirit/ghost form, religious motifs concerning eternal punishment between God and/or Satan, and the like), may have to do with the circumstances in which Charlotte Brontë lived as many times the circumstances/experiences of authors shape the direction of the story and the environment it plays to. But being of just ten years old, the usual insights of a young child is not alike, rather being different to the insights of Jane/Brontë; again, that would be, unless there was the presence of a traumatic experience that occurred during her childhood and thus imprinting a fear of such an event in her memory.
ReplyDelete(2) In her ideals that, “humans beings must love something”, Bronte deems the existence is to first and foremost, seek and be loved; yet, if that love is somehow not found, that void of love must be found somewhere else (regardless of what that could be).
(3) Helen Burns takes the teachings of the Bible as to “be honest and be kind” to others and to oneself, most importantly. Mr Brocklehurst is very Puritian in his beliefs; a tried and true traditionalist that believes, “times change, but traditions do not.” Mr Brocklehurst again is quite serious in his applications and the way he disciplines others (which is rash and judgemental) and his trademark quickness to get angry.
(4) First, to address Miss Temple, her impact on Jane is quite influential as it would come. Miss Temple’s values of selflessness and compassion, assures Jane for once in her life, the [confident] existance of safety. Described as being "good and very clever…above the rest, because she knows far more than they do," demonstrates a character with a strong sense of maturity, an outstanding command of respect and a strong sense of natural justice. Although Miss Temple has a strong command of respect, as she has, "considerable organ of veneration, for I yet retain the sense of admiring awe with which my eyes traced her steps", demonstrates her the nature of natural justice and fairness. Secondly, Helen Burns, was one of the few who was kind to Jane even when others would turn a blind eye and look the other way. To the honour of both, Miss Temple and Helen Burns were as to Jane, the closest thing to a family and the definition of admirable role model (especially of Miss Temple).
(5) The living conditions are horrid and life for the children are unfortunately left to fend for themselves in sorts. The girls are given harsh punishments if they are found with so much as the mere dirt under their fingernails, their bonnets are not correctly fixed, or if their posture is not exact. This is the definition of neglect and abuse to be honest, and is unfortunately how the rest of society views them, (those who are poor).
(6) As much as I see her logic, I would argue the same. Unless you wait for others to dictate the outcome of a situation, you are going to never learn to stand your ground and speak up for yourself. Unless you personally advocate for yourself, no one is going to know anything unless you speak up about it.
Questions:
ReplyDelete1. This passage contributes to the color of the novel because of its dark and deep undertone. Any room that someone has died in has sort of an unsettling feeling once you hear about it. The dead man rising from the grave is absolutely terrifying. These images and thoughts about death creates such a haunting and dark picture for the audience.
2. Jane shares her thoughts about how love is essential. Its not just a want but a need. If you can find it in another human being then you must find it with something else.
3. Helen is showing her characteristic of being incredibly positive in her religion. She is the kind of person that always sees the glass as half full. Her heart has no room for enemies, jealousy or selfish ways of being. Mr. Brocklehurst is much more serious and quite literal at times. The religious attitude that Helen has is much more impactful and desirable than Brocklehurst's.
4. Mrs.Temple and Helen serve as role models to Jane because they are truly the only ones who are kind to her and show her and immensive amount of respect.
5. The living conditions remind me of when child labor first started. The girls were treated poorly and it was every girl for herself. They were treated like animals who got punished whenever they were even slightly incorrect or out of line with something. They were viewed as worthless laborers who weren't even treated as real humans.
6. I believe sometimes you really do have to let it go and be the bigger person. I also believe that sometimes nonsense goes on for far too long and you really just have to stand up for everyone, including yourself and say that something is not right. You can't expect others to stand up to someone for you. I think you have to pick and choose your battles.
1. The passage in the novel itself has typical stereotypes about ghotic theme - alone in dark, scary room and supernatural. If I was a 10 years old and that happened to me I would be a claustrophobic for my entire life. This passage shows that all things that happened in our childhood have a great impact on our life.
ReplyDelete2. Jane as all human being needs a feel of love. She was raised in an environment where nobody cared and loved her. As a past effect from all this things that happened in her life, she is trying to give her love to her favorite doll.
3. Mr. Brockelhurst is doesn't believe in religious rather in it's power, he is overusing the religious for his own sake. Whether is Helen(a.k.a. Drake) believes in "God's plan"and takes everything easy.
4. Ms.Temple and Helen has a positive impact on Janes life. Jane has a very close realtionship with Ms. Temple she takes her as her aunt when she is not. Helen one of her best friend, she is very accepting and open up to her, this the things that Janes wanted to see in people.
5.The whole novel reminds me of a comedy comic "Little Orphan Annie". It was a comic during 1920's depression in the U.S. It has a lot similarities as an example the mane character in "Little Orphan Annie" Annie is a poor little girl who lives in orphanage. She is sharing the same problems with Jane about bad food because nobody cares about orphans girls health.
6. I disagree with this philosophy because you would get snowballed by that and could never stop bullying towards yourself. I and so is Jane would stand for myself and others. Maybe back a days people were used to remain silence to everything what's going on around them and that affects them, but now I would never sit quite and wait for it to stop, I will defend myself even if might serious problems.
