So I am reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. So far the mother of Jane Eyre makes me very angry! She has four kids Jane, Eliza , John, and Georgiana Reed. She doesn't spend anytime with Jane, only with the other three children. She says that Jane isn't sociable and dose not act child like and she will not be able to join the family until she can speak pleasantly (or correct) and when she stops asking her elders questions. " Eliza, John, and Georgiana were now clustered round their mama in the drawing-room: she lay reclined on a sofa by the fireside, and with her darlings about her ( for the time neither quarrelling nor crying) looked perfectly happy. Me she had dispensed from joining the group; saying she regretted to be under the necessity of keeping me distance; but that until she heard from Bessie, and could discover by her own observation that I was to be endeavouring in good earnest to acquire a more sociable and childlike disposition" I found this to be quite heartless on the mother part. You are to except your children the way the are. I find this more infuriating when the mother (this is later in the text) actually send her daughter away cause she dose not want to see her and tells her she isn't aloud to talk until she can "act right"! I cannot wait to continue reading this book!

Ok so im switching books books because I fell asleep while reading last night. Which is terrible! I have never done that before and I almost squished my poor kindle (sorry kindle!). I was really disappointed I thought this book was going to be so much more interesting! But i just couldn't get into it to save my life. So I am going to change to the Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. From what I have read and what I have looked up this book is about a young women growing into herself , wanting more for herself , and starting to understand the world around her. I think that this would be a great book for all women to read because, it shows the strength and the courage women should have. I am excited to read this book, if you have read this book what would you rate this book on a scale of 1-10?

OK. So in class this week we have been talking about metaphors. I don't think that writing would be as remarkable as it is without metaphors. When you use metaphors you can see pictures in your head and you can truly understand what the reader is trying portray. They also make it more fun,well to me they do anyway, you have to really think about what the author is trying to say, instead of just saying it. I think that gets really boring after awhile!

Sorry my post is so late, this has been the only time i have been able to sit down and blog. Ok, so i am still at the begining of the book because i havn't had time to really read. I am a little confused on what is going on. He says " Have mercy on me!" cried out aloud, " Spirit or living man! what e're thou be!". So is he going to hell now? Im really not sure that this point in the book.
