In Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte there were examples of global issues, ib concepts, gothic novel elements, literary elements, and areas of exploration. One of the literary terms used is alliteration, and one example used is, "there was a hilly horizon" basically the narrator wants you to imagine the setting of the excerpt and how it helps you better understand what's happening. This example was describing what the view out the window was and the beauty it brought. It is easier to know the setting in the excerpt when the narrator uses imagery and or alliteration. An Ib concept I came across was identity about the narrator and she went through life changing events.

In the excerpt by Charlotte Bronte that is titled Jane Eyre, Charlotte uses many different literary terms, global issues,and IB concepts. Bronte writes that someone looked out window and saw garden and there were skirts of lowood and then writes that there was a "hilly horizon" which can be seen as a literary term of alliteration and or imagery. The character talked about her eyes seeing all of these things like blue peaks and mountains and they really seem that they are yearning to get out and see all of these beautiful things but in her case all she wanted was to escape her home to see nature.The character talks about her only vacation being school which could be very depressing so this could be a global issue of depression. The character used a literary term of metaphor to compare her daily life to a prison. Bronte writes "all within their boundary of rock seemed prison ground, exile limits" Bronte also writes that the character of the story has no way of messaging with the outer world not even by letter. The last few lines the character talks bout how tired they are of living the same life everyday and they basically want to see something new which could show a IB Concept of Perspective this shows us the way the character is feeling and how they are dealing with life. Overall this story shows many great points and gives us a clear perspective on how the character is feeling and dealing with life as she goes through a hard obstacle.

The use of Gothic novel elements, such as intense emotion, isolation, and atmosphere, demonstrates how the character feels hopeless and longs to leave the "prison-ground" she is in and also gives the writing a tone of mystery and gloom. Then the Global issues of trauma, neglect, and depression shows how bad of a mental state the character has and can help the reader to understand why the character feels this way and what causes her need to get away. There is also the IB concept of identity and transformation which allows the reader to have a better understanding of the character's longing for freedom and a new start by how quickly she switched from sad about her situation to desperate and determined to get out of it. There are lots of literary elements used to show how the characters emotions change often from serious and to the point, to overwhelmed. This gives a better understanding of how the character thinks.

This excerpt of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte shows how Bronte uses IB concepts to show how the character in this story feel without being direct such as when she said " Longed to follow it farther !" this shows how the character wants to travel outside of their home Bronte also uses gothic novel elements when she says "Prison-ground , exile limits " this show how the character feels trapped at Lowood and wishes to leave this place to be free without the IB concepts and Gothic novel elements Bronte would not have been able to express how bad this character wants to get out . Another example is that Bronte used the IB concept of transformation when she said " And now I felt that is was not enough" this show how at first she loved being in the house and know she just wants to get out because she's been going through this cycle every day and just wants to leave school.

When reading this excerpt from "Jane Eyre" I noticed the narrator is going through a big challenge and is having intense emotions about it. She was isolated and confined inside the Lowood walls which shows a Gothic element to the story. Numerous times throughout this excerpt we see the Ib concept Identity, where the narrator yearns to go out and explore the world instead of being confined to this prison. "My eyes passed all other objects to rest on those most remote, the blue peaks; it was those I longed to surmount:" Being in this dark atmosphere adds another Gothic element, trauma. This young girl has trauma from being kept in this place that she seems tired and depressed "such was what I knew of existence. And now I felt that it was not enough;" She seems to be broken "'Then' I cried, half desperate, 'grant me at least a new servitude!" It shows all sorts of Ib concepts, global issues and Gothic elements to help us get a better understanding of what is to come in our reading.

The starting sentences of the paragraph gave us a general layout of the narroraters surroundings. Soon after, the IB Concept of personality was used when describing how the character did not want to be in this building but rather she'd want to explore. The narrator continued describing how she felt, using a mix of metaphors, repetition, and exagritations. She also states that where she was staying felt as if she was in a prison possibly referring to how she feels trapped inside of the school she was sent to. This "prison" also might've led to her sadness and trauma that shows in her tone in later lines. Furthermore the overall atmosphere of this passage somewhat hints to the sadder background of the experiences she might've went through. This one paragraph told the readers so much about the author the characters in the passage as well as where and when it was taking place.

There are many ways to understand the character but it can clearly be seen that the character Jane is the narrator's attempt to expresses herself through her poem and her character named Jane to show her struggles in her life. She uses many things to explain herself and her feelings, from reflecting, to imagery about her mental state, that she feels through a tough time in school and in life to the point of isolating herself from others. That's when I saw signs of the global issue of depression, she's isolating herself on purpose, that she feels trapped in her own life to the point of hoping for any sort of freedom. I saw how she described her environments and surroundings in her poem; like her garden, the buildings of wings, the mountains and so much more. That attentiveness of everything from how she specifically felt to what surrounds her is something I figured out was a IB concept of her Identity, of who she's is and that she's attentive to the smallest things, to the point she knows something doesn't feel right in her life. That her attentiveness gave her the abilities to make perfect literacy elements of imagery, with the mountains being metaphorical barriers that they act as a physical boundary, an obstacle. That the "hilly horizon"and "exile limits" being more barriers that she can see the horizon, her goal and desire for the better but the exile limits being what's just holding her back physically. That her gothic novel element is isolation, a isolation that confides her with social rules and a mental thoughts that are what truly holds her physically back from her desires and hopes.

In the Jane Eyre excerpt by Charlotte Bronte, the author enforced many uses of imagery to give the reader an idea of what Jane Eyre is living like and why she is thinking in a depressed way. For example "My vacations had all been spent at school... I had no communication by letter or message with the outer world. Jane Eyre talks in a mysterious alone manner and seems to want the reader to know what she is going through. In this excerpt, the author uses the global issue "prison" to show how Jane Eyre is at her lowest. The author also shows an IB concept of flashback: "I traced on the white road winding around the base of one mountain, and vanishing in a gorge between two; how I longed to follow it father!". This shows that Jane Eyre is bored and thinking back on an old memory.

The narrator of this excerpt of "Jane Eyre" exhibits signs of the global issues of trauma and depression. The narrator uses the literary characteristics of symbolism, a polysyndeton and asyndeton to emphasize the narrator's perspective. The global issues she faces can be attributed to the Gothic element of isolation. The narrator describes the remote setting of the excerpt. The isolation of remote locations forces the narrator to yearn for a more fulfilling life. This yearning becomes a transformation of identity as the excerpt ends with the narrator showing intense emotions as she desperately cries out for a life free of the setting's hellish torture of banalness.

In the excerpt from Jane Eyre, Jane is a school-aged girl who has been at Lowood, doing the same monotonous activities for eight years. By describing how she longed to travel beyond the barriers of Lowood and how she "felt that it was not enough", she showed the IB concept, identity through her desperation. I found that Jane also expressed the gothic element, intense emotion because she is begging for a new servitude. Jane was not in contact with the "outer world" and it seemed as if she is overwhelmed by the ridged expectations of Lowood. I also came across the Global issue, Mental health and the thought of Jane being neglected due to her being isolated from the outside world and her showing signs of depression without any support.

The novel Jane Eyre that incorporates gothic elements like mystery, a dark tone, atmosphere that helps us as the reader to understand how the narrator is feeling and how it affects her identity. Which is feeling trapped while having the desire to have freedom and control of her own life. Something that helped me get to that point was the line, "How I longed to have follow it farther!" and the mention of "prison grounds, exile limits" making it clear that Jane Eyre is tired of leading the life of oppression and having no contact with the outside world. It is clear she is young when the mention of school becomes apparent showing how the control may be coming from those around her. The overwhelming restrictions and isolation making her crave that freedom that much more, wanting to meet a person an animal and or even just something new to give her some sort of excitement. The line "And now I felt it was not enough" shows how her identity relies on that feeling of being able to discover new things in her own time and manner of which she would be control of but she doesn't what she had before is no longer what she craves or can be satisfied with because she is weary of the same routine and part she has to play.

In the excerpt from Jane Eyre the narrator shows she had gone through a life changing event or events. The global issue of depression is shown when the narrator talks about how she doesn't like anything about her school down to even the voices of people. This shows that she doesn't like her situation and wishes she wanted in it. There is also the IB concept of transformation. This is shown when she goes from praying for liberty to crying out to anyone for new servitude. It shows that she had transformed and that she did so because she was desperate. She also uses Imagery to explain what she can see This is a white winding road and 2 mountains. I believe the imagery is also a metaphor that means she can see liberty and wants it but can't get to it. This is a summary of how Charlotte Bronte used literary elements, global issues and IB concepts to show how the narrator felt.

The narrator used a mix of Global issues, IB concepts, Literary elements, and areas of exploration in this excerpt from Jane Eyre. The narrator also expresses her deep thoughts and feelings and this helps make a connection with the reader. The narrator is unhappy with her current place and is curious to see more from life. She uses many different IB concepts, Global Issues, Literary elements and areas of exploration to express that. For example the narrator uses the IB concepts of Identity to show her curiosity, it says " How I long to follow it farther!". This quote can deeper express how the narrator feels making us have a better understanding of her. The narrator continues on to use a Global issue of depression to further express her situation "Such was what I knew of existence". The narrator really embraces her situation and is very open about it and continues to explain why she wants to get out and see more from the world. This is a short summary of what I have learned just from this excerpt about the narrator and how she expresses her craving for more from her life and the world.

I understood the character in the excerpt by using global issues, IB concepts, and literary elements, and Gothic Novel elements. In the excerpt, the narrator shows the IB concept of identity. The narrator says "My eye passed all other objects to rest on those most remote, the blue peaks; it was those I longed to surmount." This shows that the narrator has had an ongoing issue that they want to solve, which shows that they are a hopeful person. The character also uses Gothic Novel elements. In the story, the narrator says "I had no communication by letter or message with the outer world." This suggests that the character is trapped or imprisoned and explains why they are longing to be free. In the excerpt, the narrator also uses literary elements such as polysyndeton. The character says "School-rules, school-duties, school-habits and notions, and voices, and faces, and phrases, and costumes, and preferences, and antipathies." This suggests that the character is overwhelmed and bored because they repeatedly do the same things every day, which ties back to them being trapped and longing to be free. All of this shows that the character is a hopeful yet desperate person wanting to be free from the place that they feel trapped in and also wants to escape the same routine that they have been doing for years.

I wrote about how the narrator tells us what her life is currently like; The type of situation she seems to be in. In the excerpt "Jane Eyre" the narrator tells us that the setting is in a more isolated place and it seems like it's away from many people she can have any interaction with. The use of imagery throughout the excerpt gives us an idea on how the surroundings look for her. The IB concept of Identity shows up when she says "it was those I longed to surmount" and "How I longed to follow it farther!" The narrator shows in her identity that she longs for something more. It shows she might be an adventurous or curious person. The Gothic Novel Element of Atmosphere is indicated when she describes the place she's at as "all within their boundary of rock and heath seemed prison-ground, exile limits." It shows a more isolated and even kind of dark atmosphere, depending on how you look at it. Then the Literary Element of Polysyndention appears in the text when she repeatedly uses the word "and" in her sentence as she describes everything and she seems overwhelmed by all these events and rules in her life. Admittedly, there are a few ways to interpret what she is feeling and how you can understand her as a character. It seems like she might have been through some trauma in her life and is just being overtaken by everything at the current moment.

Charlotte Bronte uses the Gothic novel element of isolation to express that Jane Eyre has been cut off from communicating with the outside world in the excerpt it says "I had no communication by letter or message with the outer world". then she uses the global issue of depression to express how alone she felt in this "prison". In the excerpt Jane grieves for freedom but she uses a metaphor to express she wants it by saying she desired liberty. Charlotte also uses IB concepts of identify so we can figure out what type of person Jane is and how she has had a transformation on her perspective of what Jane thought was enough. The excerpt also uses imagery so the reader can imagine what place she is in and connect to the story. From what we can tell from the excerpt is that Jane is a young child, as it says she has spent her vacations at school. Jane wants freedom from her servitude and we can tell that the setting of this story come from long ago because she talks about riding in a coach.

I understand that the Narrator went through tons of intense emotions in her life that effected her mental health leading up to now. She showed her feelings throught the Global Issues of Trauma, Neglect, and depression. For example, she used the sentence, "Such was what I knew of existence. And now I felt that it was not enough." This feeling left her feelings depressed and helpless. She used the IB Concept of transformation to show when she realized that everything she knew was worthless to some extent. She used Literary Elements to help us picture what happened, for example, liberty as a metaphor for freedom, which is all she wanted since she realized. She also used the Gothic Novel Element of isolation to show us that she never had anyone to talk to other than who was at her school so she was very self-centered. All of the things she went through contributed to her depression and that she just wanted freedom since she realized she never really understood everything.

From the expert taken from "Jane Eyre", we can decipher that the narrator is tired of their situation and wants to be back out in the world. The Gothic elements hinted in this paragraph include isolation, atmosphere and mystery. The narrator talks about how pretty the outside world is and describes the school they are in to be repetitive and depressing. Some global issues that are shown in this section are possible trauma and neglect when the narrator talks about the lack of outside communication and isolation. It seems that before, the narrator was curious about the school until their thoughts and ideas transformed into believing it was like a prison. The time period is hinted that this story is around the 1800's, this then showing the literary elements of time and space when the narrator mentions the coach they took. Now, the narrator wishes to be outside again and explore, to get away from the blandness of the school they seem trapped in.

In this short excerpt, I learned many aspects about the narrator through global issues, ib concepts, literary elements, gothic novel elements, and area of exploration. The narrator often used imagery throughout to let us readers depict the scenery which counts for literary element as well as area of exploration as it gives us the location. We also learn that the narrator is still in school as they talk about how they spent all their vacation at school. The narrator also talks about how their isolated which is a gothic novel element as it talks about how they haven't had any communication between them and the outer world. Throughout the excerpt, the narrator's emotions transformed as well which is a IB Concept. The narrator also talking about uttering a prayer which could mean that their a religious person which could fall under global issue. The narrator uses metaphor by using liberty for freedom which is a literary element. Towards the end of the excerpt, the narrator talks about crying desperately. This shows intense emotions, depression, or even transformation. Throughout the excerpt, the word choice of the narrator also gives off a mysterious atmosphere as well.

In this excerpt written by Charlotte Bronte, the narrator is very open minded and detailed. She is very specific when describing things and used creativity throughout this excerpt. A global issue that I came across was stress/depression because it talks about how she feels that her vacation is school and she used the word and to stress to her readers how she feels about that. An Ib concept I found identity because she talks about how this person is always tired and exhausted from doing what she called "eight years routine in one afternoon' which is also an example of the literary element hyperbole because its not actually eight years worth of routine. Overall I found that this piece of writing was creative, easy to understand, and is full of different perspectives to see from.

There were many ways to understand the character of the excerpt. One way is relatability through vagueness. Whenever the character expresses herself she uses metaphors and literary elements. She does not say exactly what happened though. In this way the reader can relate to it by remembering certain feelings and memories that they have experienced. Another way would be remembering seeing the feelings that someone else has experienced. Another way is intertextuality, where certain feelings are present, as in Man's Search for Meaning. In the book Viktor Frankl has to overcome certain obstacles and boundaries. It's in this way that one can see the transformation of both and in oneself. Allowing for the reader to understand the character of the excerpt.

What I wrote about in my two page reflection on the excerpt of "Jane Eyre" in short is that I wrote about the many different IB concepts, gothic elements, and global issues that are included in the excerpt. The first thing that I wrote about was how many hints in the story point to the fact that our narrator is a young girl. Things such as the mentions of school and how she mentions the many school rules and many struggles in school she has to go through. After that I talked about the IB concepts used in this excerpt such as identity and the transformation of the narrator. I also talked about the gothic themes that are in this excerpt. Like how she mentions her struggles with mental health and how she feels isolated. Lastly I wrote about the global issues in the story mainly about how the narrator feels that she is being neglected and that she is trapped in this boarding school.
