Day 10
Page 129
Words that stood out:
Eye hollow, a colossal head, a sable veil, a brow quite bloodless, white as bone, glassiness of despair, black drapery, consistency as cloud, gleamed a ring, lurid tinge.

Infer:
Bronte uses so much imagery in this section of the novel as Jane describes her various paintings to the reader. She seems to be a very good painter. Maybe Mr. Rochester will promote Jane and or help her find a job of painting. Maybe he will find her interesting and begin to spend more time at home with Adele and Jane.

Day 11
Page 138
Words that stood out:
Plenty of faults of my own, I envy you your your peace of mind, your clean conscience, unpolluted memory, exquisite treasure.

Infer:
Mr. Rochester is talking to her not like he would talk to hired help. He admires her inocence, and her young way of thinking. Bronte may be using this to foreshadow an event to come. Maybe they will fall in love with eachother, or maybe something will happen to her because if her immaturity. Mr. Rochester seems to be very nice to her. The diction that Bronte uses as Mr. Rochester speaks is smooth and seemingly nice and kind.

Day 12
Page 150
Words that stood out:
He was moody, alone, head bent on his folded arms, morose, malignant scowl, blackened his his feature, former faults of morality, I grieved for his grief, whatever that was.

Infer:
Why is Mr. Rochester moody? He seems to have everything that he could ever want and usually he seems to be happy. Maybe he has a deep secret that no one else knows that is upsetting him. This may be setting the reader up to learn something very surprising. I hope that it does not affect his relationship with Jane.

Day 23
Page 305
Words that stood:
Accent of bitter sadness, every nerve, you don't love me?, rank of my wife, valued, think me disqualified, your husband, recoil from my touch, some toad or ape, cut me, nothing, tortured by a sense of remorse, hirting his feelings, I do love you, the last time.

Infer:
This conversation is so sad. Bronte uses such sad language and the tone of the characters is so depressing. Through these words Bronte shows much of what the character's feelings are, and conveys so much of their emotions to the reader. Is this realy the end of their relationship?

Day 24
Page 324
Words that stood:
Forced, it stopped, a place a long way off, I was sure that Mr. Rochester had no connection, empty, rolled on its way, gentle reader, never feel what I then felt, eyes never shed such stormy, scalding, heart-wrung tears, prayers so hopeless, so agonised, left my lips, instrument of evil, what you wholly love.

Infer:
Jane is in such despair in this section. She seems so sad, why is she lesving? Bronte shows what a horrible situation Jane is in right now. All of these words are so sad in tone and really reveal how upset Jane must be.

Day 25
Page 346
Words that stood out:
voice toned, to my ear, cooing of a dove, possessed eyes whose gaze I delighted to encounter, full of charm, equally intelligent, equally pretty, her manners, gentle, more distant, authority, a will, my nature to feel pleasure in yielding to authority, active will.

Infer:
Bronte uses imagery in this portion of the novel to convey the physical appearance and the demeanor of Mary and Diana. They seem to be good girls and pretty too. Jane seems to like them by the wat that she describes them. She seems to be taken by them.

Day 26
Page 352-353
Words that Stood out:
I devoured the books, full satisfaction, perfectly, animal spirits, affluence of life, excited my wonder, baffled my comprehension, rest my head on her knee, teach me German, mutual affection, at my service, surprised and charmed them, days passed like hours, and weeks like days.

Infer:
All of these words put the reader at rest with a sense of peace. Jane is happy with Diana, Mary, and St. John. It satisfies the reader to know that Jane is happy again after all that she went through with Mr. Rochester and the events that took place. Bronte uses these words to convey Jane's newfound happiness to the reader.

Day 27
Page 379
Words that stood out:
Storm in music, heard a noise, shook the door, frozen hurricane, howling darkness, tall figure, all white as a glacier.

Infer:
Bronte uses a lot of imagery in this section of the novel. She uses it to stress the danger of the outside that St. John was in. The words make the reader visualize and hear the setting in this portion of the novel. Bronte uses symoles here as well in, "as a glacier".

Day 28
Page 387
Words that stood out:
Are my cousins, half our blood on each side flows from the same source, I have found a brother, could be proud of, genuine affection and admiration, Glorious discovery, wealth indeed, wealth to the heart, bright, vivid, exhilerating, sudden joy, I am glad.

Infer:
Jane finally has a loving family! Bronte probably jas the events happen in this order for a reason. The affection was "genuine" between them. Not just because they are family, like her relationship with the Reed family, but because they truly love eachother. She finally has a good family.

Day 29
Page 404
Words that stood out:
God will protect you, words of the strange love, there is my glory and joy, is All-perfect, direct from God, your heart say, my heart is mute, summons from heaven, visionary messenger.

Infer:
There is biblical allusion in this part as they speak of the Bible, heaven, God, etc,... More religion is brough into the novel at this point as a result of St. John who is studying to be a preacher.

Day 30
Page 417-418
Words that stood out:
Forgive me...a spy, I wish he loved you, showed to anyone else, asked me to be his wife, to go to India, I have refused to marry him, he will never forgive me I fear.

Infer:
Does Jane not love St. John? She loves him as a brother. She finally had a family and now it could all be ruined because he expressed his feelings (or desire to marry her for her new inheritance). Jane only wanted a brother not another lover.

Day 31
Page 436-437
Words that stood out:
I cannot live, Is it Jane?, her heart too, near you again, Jane Eyre, My living Jane, my living darling, she loved me, kissed her, trusted that she would not leave me, embrace me, rayless eyes.

Infer:
The words that Rochester and Jane use sound so happy to be near eachother again. Can this last? Bronte uses words that cause the reader to be so happy for Jane, because Rochester truly loves and treasures Jane.

Day 32
Page 452
Words that stood out:
Reader, I married him, quiet wedding, was grinning from ear to ear, a five-pound note, she would come and see me, our honeymoon will shine our life long.

Infer:
Mr. Rochester is so good to Jane. He truly lives her, not for her inheritence or looks or her name, but for her. Who she is as a person. This ending is perfect for the story. But why does Mary seem upset about the marriage? Diana seems happy fo rJane.








Day 7
Page 94
Words that stood out:
Afriad you are disappointed, you were no beauty as a child, people wish to please, I was not quite indifferent to its import, Bessue's glance... in no shape denote admiration.

Infer:
Bronte, through these words, reveals that Jane is not a beautiful girl on the exterior. I think that when Bessie said Jane was not very pretty it probably hurt Jane as most girls her age, "wish to please". She seems to not care as much about outward appearance as much as most girls her age probably did, mostly because of the way she was brought up. No one ever gave her any reason to be concieted when she was a child.

Day 8
Page 106
Words that stood out:
Pupil sufficiently docile, disciplined to apply, got her to learn a little.

Infer:
Jane, the protagonist, seems to feel like Adele, her pupil, is somewhat spoiled. This is probably a very foreign thing to Jane Eyre. Seeing a little girl being even a little spoiled. Even though she saw her cousins be spoiled by her Aunt, her cousins were bad and mean. She probably thinks that when a child recieves any attention from an adult they will spoil them. I wonder if she will begin to be harsh with Adele like she was dealt with when she was young.

DAY 1
Page 10
Words that Stood Out To Me:
Vast Whrils, The Atlantic suge, drear November day, child as I was, The haunts of sea-fowl.

Infer:
The protagonist seems to be interested with the book, she seems to like reading, and is probably very smart. Most of the words seem to be revealing that she is adventurous. She wonders about the places in the book.

DAY 2
Page 24
Words That Stood Out To Me:
path of the poor orphan child, the twilight close moonless and dreary, Men are hard hearted, God is a friend to the poor orphan child.

Infer:
All of these words have to do with sympathy for orphans. Maybe Bessie was an orphan when she was young. Bessie will probably help Jane someda

Day 3
Page 42
Words That Stood Out:
Lapsed in peace, harmony, enchanting stones, sweetest songs, gleams of sunshine.

Infer:
I think that the author uses these words and sentences to recall her happy moments in childhood. She always talks about Bessie and her singing and stories, I think that Bessie means a lot to Jane and probably will come up again in the future. I think that Bessie was an orphan as a child, and she loves and cares for Jane Eyre, partly because she knows how she feels.

Day 4
Page 57
Words That Stood Out:
Kind parents, regreted the seperation, saddened my heart, obscure chaos, disturbed my peace, strange excitement, reckless, feverish, howl more wildly, deepen darkness, confusion, rise to clamour.

Infer:
The author reveals to the reader that not even though the place she is in is not wonderful, and a girl from a full family with loving parents would hate it, she doesn't mind because its better than where she was. It seems almost as though Jane doesn't feel anything.

Day 5
Page 70
Words That Stood Out:
So good, friends, earn respect, win affection, head of my class, praised me warmly, crushed, trodden, rise more.

Infer:
It seems as though all Jane wanted was to be acceptedby someone, probably due to the way she was brought up. She wants to be loved and do good, she also seems to want a mother figure to love her as she looks for acceptance from her mother.

Day 6
Page 79
Words That Stood Out:
Corroborate my account, whole school, inquiry alleged against, happy, completely cleared from every implication, kissed me, pleasure, companions.

Infer:
Bronte probably is showing this not simply to tell a story but to show that someone is beginning to truely care for Jane. Miss Temple went through all the trouble to write Mr. Lloyd and clear Jane's name because it is so important to Jane. It seems as though she believed Jane But she cared about Jane and wanted the whole school to know that she was good and honest. Jane is beginning to have a mother figure that she has been wanting in her life.
