I used different Global Issues, IB-Concepts, Literacy Elements, and Gothic Novel elements to understand the narrator of the excerpt by reading in to each sentence carefully to get on a deeper level of what the narrator said. One IB concept is their identity. The narrator talked about how a road on a mountain was vanishing into the gorge and they longed to follow it further. That shows that the narrator is very observant and is curious about their surroundings. It also shows the Gothic element of dark and gloomy since the road was foggy. Polypedion was an example of a literacy element. The word school kept on being repeated to show how committed they were. Towards the ending, the narrator showed the Global Issue of Depression when they said "swept off into vague space" to express that they feel trapped and their liberty is nowhere to be found.

I used the Literary elements, such as imagery and repetition to understand how the character is feeling and the environment she is living in. When the character says liberty three times together, this tells me that the character feels that they are stuck and that they have no freedom. The Global Issues in the text, such as neglect and depression helped me see into the mind of the character and her problems with life. The Gothic Elements in the excerpt, such as the words "prison-ground" and "exile" told me that the narrator is unhappy with her life.

The narrator in the text talked about how they felt alone and powerless . For example "My vacations had all been spent at school... I had no communication". This shows the identity of the main character that they felt that they spent all their time alone and wanted to be free from the place that they were at. Additionally this shows the Gothic element isolation because the narrator also talks about how they had "no communication of the outer world". Showing how the narrator was isolated from the world leading to the narrator to feel bored and depressed from staying too long isolated.

In this excerpt, the narrator uses a variety of literary elements one of them being imagery. She uses imagery to set the scene and to explain her surroundings . She also uses repetition to emphasize how she feels. She explains that the feels neglected from the outer world and uses the word and to say her constants in her life. She uses IB concepts of identity, culture and perspective to show her transformation and how her view on her situation changes. She expressed her feelings using Gothic novel elements of isolation and atmosphere. She uses these to compare the area she's in to being like "prison-ground, exile limits". She uses a global issue of mental issues and depression to explain her personal experience and how she's feeling. Throughout the excerpt she's using a Gothic novel element of dark and gloomy because she's not happy.

Using the excerpt I explored how the narrator's isolation helped us understand their identity by explaining that the by being isolated the narrator hasn't had a chance to explore the world around them. This implied identity explains why the narrator feels depressed by their life by showing that they are adventurous and want to go out and explore the world but can't. I also explained that the narrator's isolation stems from this building because of the imagery the narrator gives us describing that the building they are in is just as isolated as they are. Near the end of the excerpt the narrator turns to religion to help them and even that seems hopeless further hurting their mental state.

Given this excerpt from Jane Eyre, I used the IB concepts of Identity and Culture to understand what the narrator's goals and feelings were and determine the time period this took place in. I understood why she wanted to escape from her situation which fell under the Gothic Novel Element of Isolation; specifically from the outside world. I found the Literary Elements of Repetition and Imagery; the author used repetition to emphasize the sheer amount of stress and responsibility the narrator has and imagery to get a sense of the surroundings and atmosphere. The Global Issue of Imprisonment was also implied as the narrator themselves describes their school as prison-ground. All of these elements were used to allow the reader to be fully immersed in this situation and how the narrator is physically and mentally affected by their current state of solitariness.

In the passage from Jane Eyre, many things are revealed about the narrator. Based on the various points in the excerpt, the nararrator has based her entire life around school. However, she longs to branch out and explore the outside world. One sentence from the paragraph quotes, "My eyes passed all other objects to rest on those most remote, the blue peaks; it was those I longed to surmount." This expresses the gothic element of damsel in distress, as well as the IB element of identity. It emphasizes her desperation to step foot outside her small town. Throughout the excerpt, the narrator also explains her vacations have been spent only at school; school was her routine. Based on her words, the gothic element of atmosphere is also present because it shows a gloomy and isolated environment. Overall, the main character has grown tired of her boring routine and wants change.

The narrator progressively reveals many details about themselves to allow the reader to understand their situation. "...prison-ground, exile limits." This demonstrates the gothic element of isolation by describing how the narrator feels about their surroundings. They are saying that their environment is similar to a prison and feeling trapped inside their surroundings. Also, they mention looking out of a window to view the vast scene of Lowood, and reveal the IB concept of identity by expressing their ambition towards the distant blue peaks. This shows the narrator is courageous and longing to escape the isolation or neglect. The narrator also recalls travelling by carriage, thus demonstrating the area of exploration of time and space, one can infer that the narrator is referring to a time before modern advancements in travel. Thus, also allowing inference to later referenced concepts and developments like school.

In the reading, we learn a lot about our narrator through both interpretation and directly through her. One of the first things that she reveals are her ambitions and goals. When she says she had longed to surmount two mountains she can view from her window. You can infer that she might be an adventurous person. By shedding light on the type of person she is, this shows the IB concept of identity. Her saying that her residence is like a prison-ground displays the gothic element of isolation. She says she rode on a road in a coach. This uses the area of exploration of time and space, as coaches were a common form of transportation at that time. She then goes on to describe her daily life, using the literary element of repetition when she says "school-rules, school-duties, school-habits..." Afterwards she says that she had grown tired of her routine in just one afternoon. This displays the IB concept of transformation. At the end of the excerpt she said she cried out for a new servitude, showing the gothic elements of damsel in distress and intense emotion.

The narrator of Jane Eyre uses elements such as imagery, repetition, and creativity to portray a person who seems to be trapped. The person describes their environment from the view of their window, speaking of how they want to leave. They want to follow the roads and explore instead of the place they're currently at. The person uses phrases such as "prison-ground" and "exile limits" when describing the scenery. This could be an example of the IB concept of creativity, using an odd choice of words to talk about their surroundings. It just further shows how they feel stuck and want to leave, also perhaps hinting at some mental issues due to being there. Their use of repetition when speaking of their school routine shows how bored they are of it. They want to break free from it and desire "liberty".

Violet Burns.

The author begins with her longing for going outside ,while she's looking out her window. She describes in great detail how beautiful the scenery was with imagery and creativity. The author uses ambition to describe how much she would like to go out into the world and the isolation she is faced with that is stopping her. The author then reminisces on her past experiences showing her identity and the changes that are now in place. She exclaims a state of depression and how tiring the same things got day after day (school). There's transformation then showing her shift in wanting liberty but then again goes back into a depressive state. She describes her feeling of being trapped showing her identity and culture of the period. The atmosphere is also set into a dark gloomy mood with bits of good memories.

The passage reveals that the narrator is a lonely but intelligent person that wants to escape where she is now. She is currently isolated in a dark place, and shows us this by using literary elements and areas of exploration such as imagery and readers/writers text to describe her location. We know she is intelligent from the same line that shows us how isolated she is, "My vacations had all been spent at school". She then uses the literary element repetition to tell us that school was the only thing she knew about life. She expressed her wish for more by using liberty as a metaphor for what she wants. In the last line of the excerpt, the narrator says she cries "grant me at least a new servitude". This line has the Gothic elements of damsel in distress and intense emotion to prove how bad she wants any form of change".

From the poem Jane Eyre we meet a character who faces most of their life alone. Along with the loneliness was a day to day cycle that was the same, never changing. A global issue of depression fits with how the character feels as they say "such was what I knew of existence". That line helps us understand that they had finally realized how their life had played out. At the time it had been too late as they had wasted years of their life only for it all to easily be summarized into one afternoon. "I cried, half-desperate, 'grant me at least a new servitude!" Is a good example of a gothic novel of damsel in distress. Their plea had been to get another chance at their life but it only being half desperate as they had partially accepted what their life had become.

In this passage, the narrator/character can be seen as a person who is slowly degrading mentally through various ways due to them possibly being caged in an area as described in the passage where it says "within their boundary of rock and heath seemed prison-ground, exile limits".This sentence can be seen as a gothic novel element of isolation, because the character feels trapped in this place there further word that explain them feeling isolated since they had absolutely no way to contact anyone outside.There is also a slight use of identity and transformation in the section that says "And now I felt that it was not enough; I tired of the routine of eight years in one afternoon".This could be understood as transformation and identity due to the character/ narrator now wanting to be set free instead of being trapped in one place with one routine and a singular goal; study. One last example of this being showed is when the character/narrator states "I abandoned it and framed a humbler supplication; for change, stimulus" which could be them slightly giving up on the idea of this "freedom" or "change" they sought.

The global issue of isolation is shown throughout the text. The narrator states, "I had no communication by letter or message with the outer world." This shows that the narrator is feeling as if they cant reach or talk to anyone. This also explains how the narrator might feel lonely or isolated from everyone else. This global issue of isolation is also shown as the narrator states "School-rules, school-duties, school-bound, school-habits, and notions and voices". This shows how the narrator actually might be around other people. Which then shows that the narrator has people to talk to just feel like they can't reach them. This could also show that the narrator may be being bullied or ignored.

Charles Ouellette

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, She used many literary elements such as "blue peaks" this shows how her mind reaches beyond her current situation. The setting given in the Gothic novel shows how she is in a prison-like school and she is isolated, although she remembers the life she had before with the "Blue peaks" and a "hilly horizon". This shows me the IB concept identity as she longs for her past. The Global issue of depression is truly shown in her novel, As she is in a dark place.

This story is about a young woman who longs for more. She talks about her feelings of isolation in this prison-like place shes spent almost her whole life at. We get to see her realization unfold through this paragraph. The narrator talks of leaving the place and experiencing more on the outside. She also expresses feelings of creativity and ambition. Through this excerpt we learn a lot about the narrators personality. The IB Concept of creativity helped show her true feelings about Lowood and how she wishes her life was different. There was also themes of religion, with her crying out to whoever could hear her to help change her life, even though she does not explicitly express belief in a higher power.

The narrator in the excerpt expressed a lot of information, primarily their feelings of the school and being held in the place for so long. They count the atmosphere, repetition, and isolation to suggest that they are a "damsel in distress." The information also provides us an understanding for what the setting might be. The narrator recounts the roads they followed and the surrounding hills to provide a setting in which that of provides context for what the reader might expect. This also expresses an identity of the narrator to the reader, as they are retentive and now transformed to not submit to the banal nature of their routine (supposedly) forced by the school.

One of the ways I better understood the narrators motif was using multiple elements and concepts such as imagery and creativity to analyse how vivid the descriptions were and how that helped the reader picture the scenery in their mind. Additionally, I also used a global element of mental decline connected with the gothic element of isolation to understand how the narrator's isolation is affecting her mental health. I used a literary element of tone because her tone was very "panicked"/"suffocating" when she talked about her life repeating the "and" over and over. A IB concept I used was identity and transformation because connecting to that she had mentioned how she was content with her life until she had this realization and started yearning for whether it be mental or physical freedom.

In the excerpt Jane Eyre the narrator uses the global issue and gothic novel element of isolation to share her feelings to the reader. An example of this in the passage is "No communication by letter or message with the outer world." This illustrates to the reader how depressed and lonely she feels. Another way the narrator feels and shows isolation is by her explaining how everyday since she has lived in Lowood everything is less exciting and the days become repetitive.

Uses the IB concept of creativity to describe the setting of where she lives. Using gothic novel elements of isolation and intense emotion, we learn that she is separated from society with no outer communication. However, with transformation, she becomes tired of that life and begs for some liberation. The last line, "Then at least grant me a new servitude!" Expresses gothic novel elements of intense emotion and damsel in distress. This also reveals the identity of the narrator, because she's creating a comparison between 'school' and 'servitude', which means she views her schooling as something similar to slavery.

The excerpt explained a lot about the main character. The dark atmosphere and many references to how alone she is and how stuck she feels shows the Gothic element of isolation and the global issue of depression. The repetition of "and" shows how boring and fed up she became with life in Lowood. She wanted a desperate escape but felt powerless, shown by her wishing for help, an example of the IB concept of transformation. She was also a damsel in distress due to this powerlessness. She was isolated, depressed, and powerless. She also hated her life, it was boring and repetitive.
