The annotation helps readers understand the emotions and setting. The author uses various elements throughout the excerpt. For example the excerpt states "travelled that very road in a coach." This setting gives the reader an image in their head of the time period the story was set in. I gathered lots of info from just this background info that was given. The author uses lots of imagery and atmospheric details. In the passage she also states a metaphor by using mountains to show her obstacles in life and describes how she'll overcome them. This contributes to the story by giving the reader tiny but, important pieces of information that can be used. The elements could not only help the reader but, could help the author as well as coming up with more plots.

In the excerpt, the gothic elements, global issues, literary terms, and areas of exploration helped me understand the characters emotion because throughout the passage the narrator gave bits and pieces of the character's feelings, along with her identity. The narrator revealing her identity shows the type of person she is and what she yearns for. As the identity was being revealed, so did the global issues of abuse, neglectance, and mental illness. The narrator also describes what the character sees around her, how she feels and gives that imagery to visualize and picture it, which gives into the state of how she's living. The character has spent her summers at school, has no contact with the outside world, and is isolated away. This feeling of isolation and loneliness transpires her transformation, and at the end intense emotion comes over her as she derails because she no longer wants to be in this same routine of life and is desperate for her own liberty.

The global issues of gender and family can be applied. This is because women in the 19th century had very few rights. Also, the narrator says that she has had no contact with her family, which also falls under the common gothic element of isolation. Jane Eyre is an example of a Bildungsroman novel because it deals with the narrator's formative years. The IB concept of Perspective can be applied as it is told from the perspective of the narrator, who in the excerpt is a young girl who feels trapped at school due to never seeing her family.

In the excerpt of "Jane Eyre", there are a multitude of different elements used to display the feelings and provide a deeper connection to Jane and the narrator. Literary terms like personification and imagery are used, along with the global issue of isolation and mental decline. Using the literary element of symbolism, the school is described as a "prison ground." This shows Jane's feelings for the school and desire to leave. Liberty is represented by the wind and open spaces beyond lowood. Personification is also used in the line "seemed to scatter on the wind." This does not mean the wind can physically scatter her prayers and desires, but it shows that Janes longing for freedom seems to increase day by day. The global issue of Janes isolation can also be used to represent real-world problems, such as the lack of power that women had over their lives. Overall many literary elements are used to show the narrator's and Jane's perspective on a deeper level.

The elements in this text give us clues about what the meaning of this story is. Through IB concepts it represents how the girl thinks and really feels about her life, showing her identity as curious. A gothic novel element reveals how the area she is in is gloomy and mysterious which allows us to picture the setting in our head. Literary elements such as metaphors help us reveal parts of the story. When she states "an age seemed to have elapsed" hints how long ago this incident was. All of these elements help bring together the main focus and gloomy setting that the reader can connect to.

The story elements in the excerpt help me understand the character by giving insight in their emotions, identity, and how the atmosphere correlates to the characters emotions. In the excerpt the narrator uses the literacy terms in the excerpt through a metaphor and describes how she is longing or gasping for liberty and freedom. This shows that the character is feeling stuck. The excerpt also uses the IB concept of Identity to show how the narrator is curious and longs to know more about the world around her. The narrator also uses gothic novel elements to show how the atmosphere is gloomy and isolated, this represents how the character is upset the her situation.

In the passage, the main character is Jane Eyre. She talks throughout about how she feels about her life, but she does bring up her past. She often feels isolated in her life. She plays a big role in education, which leads to her beliefs and values. It seems like she looked back at her life and realized that she put so much time and effort into education, that she did not do what she used to do when she was younger. Which could be that her beliefs and values had changed since then. When she was younger, she would go out, and explore, but now she doesn't even travel during her vacations. She compared where she was to a prison which gives it a gloomy mood when you imagine a prison. But she also uses imagery to describe the landscape when she talks about the "hilly horizon".

In this passage from Jane Eyre, we learn about the main characters thoughts, feelings and struggles. I learned a lot about who Jane Eyre was by going through this excerpt and identifying many literary terms, gothic novel elements, global issues, and IB concepts. Jane uses a lot of imagery to express her feelings of isolation and longing for freedom. She also uses metaphors to express her struggle of finding her identity. Furthermore she uses gothic novel elements to show the mood and a dark, gloomy and maybe even scary.

In this excerpt from Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte utilizes a myriad of literary devices such as imagery and metaphors. Early in the passage, she uses imagery by describing the "hilly horizon", "blue peaks", and "white road". One of the metaphors Bronte uses in this excerpt is when she describes the "boundary of rock and heath" being her prison-ground which could be seen as gothic. It paints a gloomy atmosphere and it connects with us to show us how isolated Jane is. Other examples of isolation are when Jane describes her lack of available communication with society, and when she says she longs to leave Lowood. When she tells us how she wants to leave Lowood we get a glimpse of her curious and even adventurous nature. One Area of Exploration Bronte uses is when Jane remembers travelling down the road to Lowood in a coach which is an example of Time and Space.

In this excerpt from the book, Jane is describing her experience at her school and the way she describes it gives off feelings of loneliness and neglect. She states "...the blue peaks; it was those I longed to surmount;..." This can show the Gothic Novel Element of isolation because it can be interpreted as she wants to leave the school and climb over the mountains to see more liveliness. Later in the paragraph she says "I had had no communication by letter or message with the outer world:..." This can be a Global Issue of neglect and also a Gothic Novel Element of isolation because it can be seen as her family does not want to communicate with her and it seems she talks to nobody. Lastly, she says "... for liberty I uttered a prayer; it seemed scattered on the wind..." This can show a Global Issue of religion because of prayer, but it can be seen as praying out to anybody that can hear as a last hope, as she has nobody for her.

The way the narrator "Charlotte Bronte" wrote the story described the global issue Mental Declines. Everything is summarized into one key factor that is being distributed throughout the book. The character, Jane Eyre, is going through many mental blockages because shes been stuck in the same reality for eight years and she is tired of everything. The area where Jane is staying, its described in a very gloomy tone, as if shes been stuck in the place like a person is stuck in a prison. Its shows how Jane has been suffering a lot in the school shes in because of how it has impacted her mentally.

The story elements make me believe she doesn't have freedom. One of the literary element I found was imagery in the beginning which says '' I went to the window, opened it, and looked out.'' Made me believe she is in a room. Also, her saying it seemed like a prison ground added onto my idea of her just wanting freedom and she doesn't wanna be isolated and alone. She also adds on that she didn't have communication through letters or messages so she isn't able to talk to others in the outside world.

In this excerpt of "Jane Eyre'' there's a lot of metaphors and areas of exploration. These two can match and help each other. 'Charlotte Bronte' (the writer of this excerpt) shows that IB concept-like identity and how she sees things through her own eyes. Also the gothic novel element describes the place she is in but also how she feels in some sort of way. Also where it says ,"all within the boundaries of rock" and ," prison ground exile." shows us that she combined gothic novel elements and area of exploration. Charlotte also used literacy elements such as imagery to set a place where she was at. She also used communication as in she needs to speak out because her voice was trapped.

In "Jane Eyre", there are multiple literary elements, gothic novel elements, global issues, IB concepts, and areas of exploration that help understand the character/narrator. Charlotte Brontë used imagery, atmosphere, and the environment to develop the narrator's identity and mental being. She used the character's imagination and identity to show their feelings and how they interact with the world. Charlotte Brontë shows how dealing with being isolated made the narrator become a damsel in distress and made her mental health decline.
