Reading this, I thought "how awful... how inconsiderate can one be?". The author uses words to describe Adele as rude and ugly, and that if she were prettier or had more knowledge that she would be taken care of. Some children weren't raised right nor did they have anyone to look up to, so they resort to unlike tones and attitudes that they don't realize affect how other people view them. ]]> 2018-05-09 18:41:30 UTC https://padlet.com/071912/q9boe9pafle6/wish/259415701 071912 https://padlet.com/071912/q9boe9pafle6/wish/259418360 Bronte's words in this specific part of the novel were interesting for me to personally read. It made me think of how often I sit around and think about my life and everything that occurs on a daily basis. These words that Bronte used were interesting to think about wondering what they meant on a bigger scale. Bronte used these words through the characters in a discussion that was meant to get into Jane Eyre's mind. Jane likes to sit and think a lot about her life and her decisions, sometimes she sits longer than usual. It reminds me of how some people sit and think about things that occur in life or why those things occur, rather than just accepting the fact. ]]> 2018-05-09 18:48:16 UTC https://padlet.com/071912/q9boe9pafle6/wish/259418360 071912 https://padlet.com/071912/q9boe9pafle6/wish/259421972 This takes place when Jane is fantasizing over Rochester and decides to confess her love for him. The author could've used much simpler words, but decided to use "no sleep was there" rather then stating Rochester was awake, an "inmate" to describe a human being, and described him "restlessly walking from wall to wall" when most likely pacing around the room. Jane sees Rochester and confesses her eternal love for him and states she won't ever leave him again. ]]> 2018-05-09 18:56:57 UTC https://padlet.com/071912/q9boe9pafle6/wish/259421972 071912 https://padlet.com/071912/q9boe9pafle6/wish/259424343 When Bronte uses these words to describe that Jane has never had anything come as a "half-way battle" to her. Every event and every occurrence in her life has been difficult or a walk in the park. Using "medium" as a "half-way battle" type sub seemed more clear to the reader and more truthful. Jane struggles internally with her decisions for a long while and eventually figures out how to handle everything that comes her way, no matter what the situation is. The author's use of words engages the reader more than ever before when using words that we aren't used to.]]> 2018-05-09 19:02:36 UTC https://padlet.com/071912/q9boe9pafle6/wish/259424343 071912 https://padlet.com/071912/q9boe9pafle6/wish/259425708 Bronte is writing about Rochester in this short description. The words given to describe him are extensive, beautiful, unusual, yet structural. The author brings the reader further in in getting to know Rochester and his eerie personality. Jane's personality and Rochester's personality are oddly different, yet they attract, and here in this section of the novel is where that was explained.]]> 2018-05-09 19:06:05 UTC https://padlet.com/071912/q9boe9pafle6/wish/259425708
