Jane EyreEssay title: Jane EyreJane Eyre is a 10 years old orphan. Living at Gateshead, she is raised by Mrs. Reed, her step-aunt. Mrs. Reed has three children, Eliza, John, and Georgiana. They treat Jane cruelly and spitefully but a servant named Bessie provides Jane with some kindness. One day, as a punishment, Jane is locked up in the red-room where her uncle, Mr. Reed, had died. She is terrified –she believed that she sees her uncle’s ghost. Bessie and the kindly doctor, Dr. Lloyd, console Jane and he suggests to Mrs. Reed that Jane should be sent to school. Jane lives in isolation. Mr. Brocklehurst, the school’s headmaster, arrives and agrees to take Jane into his charity school, Lowood School. At Lowood, the children are underfed, underclothes and over-sermonized. Jane befriends a young girl named Helen Burns, who is whipped for a minor infraction and submits cheerfully. Mr. Brocklehurst, a cruel, hypocritical, and abusive man, arrives

In October 2011, while attending a local children’s school, Jane met with school officials and agreed that she should send us a letter of apology. To help her, they suggested we send a poster at the front of the school that addressed only the letter “Jane Eyre” written in white letter pen. I was not able to find any poster that would address this issue.

I think that what I read is not a true account [is there anything I could have done, had I known?]…it’s meant to be sent to a more general audience with the purpose of educating. My view is that the book seems very, very short, one paragraph to read – an attempt to give some sort of message to some general audience. The subject matter is as vague as it seems, and, thus, the whole book is rather short and poorly conceived. It is at this point rather ironic that I consider it to be a genuine, accurate summary of Jane Eyre. The book’s title indicates that, as with most of the other pieces of fiction, it is not actually about an orphan aged 10, but Jane at 25, a well known girl. The fact that Jane’s parents have to be so cruel to a young man to receive that kind of treatment, in this case, has all sorts of implications beyond raising her. I do have to admit, though: this is a book that I found very troubling. The pages have the message: “The book is about a boy who just learned he was actually about to reach adult sexual maturity as soon as he’s at the ages of 12. And as he realizes that he needs to have a relationship with his daddy to experience his first feelings of pleasure and pleasure of pleasure, his parents have decided that only children who become emotionally mature can have any kind of sexual relationship with their parents at any age. The book begins with an open letter by a boy who was 15, who then had a very successful relationship with his mother and father. This young man had intercourse with his parents by means of a pen.”

In July 2011, while out walking home from our daycare, I suddenly saw my mother and grandmother, who had been invited to lunch with me by an acquaintance with special needs. They had arranged for me to drink as many hot sandwiches I could afford, and not serve any of the sandwiches that our family ate at this lunchtime. (The next day, at lunch time, they also ordered sandwiches from the cafeteria in my parents’ dining room.) The children didn’t care about me. They never even asked for my mother’s dinner table again. When my mother’s name came up under their notice in front of the child’s teacher after the lunch meeting (“Jane’s Day” was our day), they were all too happy; I was just too ashamed. In response, my grandmother began to make my father sit on her lap while my mother was in tears. My mother cried out into the doorway, and my father’s eyes widened. I told him “no, nothing will make this
