Not only does the student make reference to the characters values, but completely answers the question by addressing the society that the…

Parts of Charlotte Bronte’s life reflects the life of her most well known protagonist, Jane Eyre. Their strikingly similar childhood has much to do with not only reason for the development of Jane Eyre as a dynamic character, but also the entire plot of the novel.

My favorite part of the movie was Jane and Rochester’s friendship, though anyone who read the book would know it was more than that. I liked when Blanche Ingram said, “a man should pay no heed to his looks,” and Rochester replied with “then a pirate would do for you.” It reminded me of in the novel when Mr. Brocklehurst asked what Jane must do to avoid Hell and she said “I must keep in good health and not die.” Furthermore, I liked when Mason had just been attacked by Bertha and the guests at…

Throughout the course of Introduction to Literature, I read many short stories, poems, and even dramas. However, for the purpose of this paper, I chose the short story “The Worn Path” by Eudora Welty and the poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. Out of all the literature covered in class, these two pieces were the two I not only enjoyed the most but found myself relating to the most as well. The theme for “The Worn Path” is one that I developed being a mother for over 20 years, and the…
