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.
