My Turn

From the begining of the story Jane Eyre's life was depressing and unfair. I hate her fat little cousin that used to beat her strictly for pleasure. I felt sorry for her at first, living in a home with a careless family that had no concern for her. When she left for Lowood it didn't get much better. Although she had made a couple of friends it didn't erase the past. After Helen died I was convinced that she was just going to be angry and unhappy throughout the rest of the story. When she left with Ms. Temple I knew it would be a turn in her life. I think that she is going to be a lot better now that she is in a better environment.

I like that you ground your response in your own visceral take on the characters and the events in which they are involved. However, I think you could take this even further (use the reading Log prompts if you need inspiration). Write more! I'm certainly interested in hearing your thoughts, and I bet your peers are too!
