I am currently reading Jane Eyre and I have seen her describe this in the first few chapter of the book. Although her reality is cruel and unforgiving, she finds a place where she can be a part of something else through reading. She is often immediately intrigued by books that herself or others come across because she knows the power they hold to make her reality a little more tolerable if she can have those few minutes of seeing through the eyes of an author. ]]> 2022-09-30 23:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/meghanmuyanja1/hzsuodulmlq30o1x/wish/2321674959 meghanmuyanja1 https://padlet.com/meghanmuyanja1/hzsuodulmlq30o1x/wish/2321675090 This quote exemplifies JAA's philosophy and also Core Value #3.
