Jane Eyre Early Reflection
So far we have read 219 pages of Jane Eyre. I don't really like the book that much. It is hard to read and takes a long time. The vocabulary used is very high level. The story line is alright, but it is a pain to read. It shows Jane growing into adulthood. She starts off as a 10 year old girl living with the Reed family. She is an orphan and treated horribly by them. They send her to Lowood school and she gets an education. Eventually she is a teacher and after 8 years at Lowood, she moves to Thornfield Hall as a governess. She earns double the salary and lives with Mrs. Fairfax at Mr. Rochester's home. The rest of the story has been stuff that happens there, especially between Jane and Mr. Rochester. Overall, the book would be better if it wasn't so difficult and time consuming.

I agree Jake that Jane Eyre is a difficult and time consuming book. Although it has gotten better it is still a boring read for me to but that is because it isn't my type of book. I have a feeling that it is about to get better with Jane marrying Mr. Rochester and finding out whats going on in the house.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree that this book is slow and so time consuming. Nearing the end of the book i am glad that i stuck it out and kept reading. It is just too bad it took 300+ pages to finally get interesting.
