When starting the first chapter of Jane Eyre I was lost and confused but that took a turn for the better. The first chapter ends with excitement. This excitement stemming from John Reed and Jane Eyre fighting and having Jane sent to "the red-room" which I've heard of but know nothing of. This first chapter also paints a picture of Jane's predicament. 

Questions I have:
Who is John Reed to Jane Eyre?
John feels like Jane is "a dependent", but why won't he share?
Why is the rest of John's family so cruel to Jane?
What's inside of the Red Room?

Significance:
Chapter one has a strong Significance over the other chapters. Main characters are introduced and developed. John Reed who seems to have a strong Importance is introduced and an important trait of his is told. He's a bully and is the sole reason why Jane is sent to "the red-room". The red-room seems to have a strong significance in "Jane Eyre" because of its mention in the first chapter and because of previous mentions from teachers.]]> 2021-02-12 04:56:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jlogan2021_3/henqhhnu0qwli4ge/wish/1195322644 jlogan2021_3 https://padlet.com/jlogan2021_3/henqhhnu0qwli4ge/wish/1195454745 As the chapters go on it makes me happy that Jane doesn't have to endure her torment on her own and beacons of hope throughout her journey. Bessie's revealing of kindness to Jane was a real switch from what I thought she would be like for the rest of the story. I now wonder if Jane will go back to Gateshead Hall after she is done with her schooling at Lowood School. I also wonder if the red-room will make another appearance later in the story or if the reed family makes another appearance. All things considered, the reading is fun and exciting as Jane endures her ups and downs.]]> 2021-02-12 07:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jlogan2021_3/henqhhnu0qwli4ge/wish/1195454745 jlogan2021_3 https://padlet.com/jlogan2021_3/henqhhnu0qwli4ge/wish/1230302397 Reaction:
I'm glad that Jane found a suitable place to live. The old lady (Mrs. Fairfax) is a nice contrast to all the hardships that Jane faced with Mrs. Reed, her children, and Mr. Brocklehurst and the poor living conditions.
Questions:
Will Mrs. Fairfax remain kind?
Does Mrs. Fairfax have a past that intertwines with Jane's past/family?
Will Grace and Jane become friends? Enemies maybe?
Significance:
This chapter marks the start of Jane's new life with Mrs. Fairfax. Also, Jane gets new interactions with new people.]]> 2021-02-23 08:39:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jlogan2021_3/henqhhnu0qwli4ge/wish/1230302397 jlogan2021_3 https://padlet.com/jlogan2021_3/henqhhnu0qwli4ge/wish/1355773069 The initial reaction that Mr. Rochester had towards Jane and Adele was poor and made me wonder how Jane felt about it until Jane showed Rochester her paintings. It cheers me to see that Rochester is sort of interested in Jane's paintings because it's good for their relationship. I too am confused and shocked that the bed burning was looked over by the other servants. I think this made Jane skeptical of the situation at Thornfield and even more curious on Mr. Rochester's past and of Thornfield. I think Jane feels a sense of relief and happiness to find out that Rochester is the gypsy because Rochester makes Blanche believe that he isn't as rich as she thinks he is. This is important because Blanche is only marrying Rochester for his money and now that Blanche isn't as interested Jane has a chance at a romantic relationship with Rochester. This is also important because this is an action of Rochester. Rochester was the one who made Blanche less interested and make Jane believe that she'll be more happy. I think by Rochester doing this Jane gets more interested into Rochester.]]> 2021-03-26 02:32:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jlogan2021_3/henqhhnu0qwli4ge/wish/1355773069
