Jane Eyre - First two chapters review

JANE EYRE COURSEWORK Charlotte Brontë was born on April 21st 1816, at Thornton, in Yorkshire. She had many brothers and sisters, two of whom died of tuberculosis before she was born. Brontë had had a hard childhood trying to keep healthy and had been very unhappy at school, and the novel, Jane Eyre appears to draw on her own life and experiences in various aspects. The setting of the novel is in the Victorian Times, when a woman's place was at home and the husband's earning money by being a landowner or pursuing a profession. Brontë has created a heroin but has still made the character, Jane, to have a difficult childhood like herself (orphaned and penniless Jane being treated unfairly by her relatives) but to make something of her life as an independent woman. In the first two chapters of the novel, the author, Charlotte Brontë, establishes the background and uses a particularly exceptional technique to make us believe that Jane's relatives use her as a scapegoat and therefore this creates sympathy for her. The technique she uses in this novel, is descriptive writing to show in depth the feelings and surroundings in the first two chapters. She describes the feelings of Jane as a first person analysing herself and her own situations and how the Reed family bullies her. She also describes John's feelings because he is the only boy in the house and is portrayed as

Evaluate the Impact of PPG 16 on Archaeological Practice

Evaluate the Impact of PPG 16 on Archaeological Practice In November 1990, archaeology in England saw a series of fundamental changes to the practice and application of the archaeology of planned development sites, with the Department of the Environment's 'Planning and Policy Guidance Note 16'. This document is directed at the planning authorities, property owners, developers, amenity societies and the general public, as well as the archaeological community. Wales and Scotland have very similar guidance policies, and PPG 16 has become the basis of all rescue archaeology - and therefore the majority of excavations - in England. Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, similar models are being implemented in other areas of the world such as Romania and Taiwan1 As a pre-excavation guidance strategy, PPG 16 'advocates the presumption of preserving important archaeological sites and their settings'.2 It can therefore be seen as an official endorsement of the fact that 'archaeological remains are a non-renewable and fragile source [for which] care must be taken to ensure they are not thoughtlessly destroyed [and that] they are part of our national identity.'3 Having set out the key factors to consider with regard to the effects of environmental planning on the archaeological record in section A, the document goes on to state in section B how developers and planners

How successful are the opening chapters of

How successful are the opening chapters of "Great Expectation"? "Great Expectation" is a book by Charles Dickens written in weekly instalments between December 1860 and August 1861. Charles Dickens has also written many other famous books such as "Oliver Twist", "The christmas carols", and "David Copperfield". When I read the opening chapters to a book, I like to read one with a bit of mystery in it, keeping it realistic but still having a strange and odd feel about it too. It must be able to give a mental image of the characters. A bit of dialogue should also be used as a lot of description can be very boring. To create a bit of action it should end with a cliff hanger. In "Great Expectations", Charles Dickens began by introducing the main character Pip. Pip's family is described and then another character is introduced. He is described with a lot of descriptive language which helps to create a mental image of the person. His name is not mentioned which creates a bit of mystery. The dialogue also tells us a lot about the character. The end of the chapter leaves us wanting to continue the story. The main character Pip was introduced first. We find a bit about his family. Pip's full name is Philip Pirrip, but he was called Pip. We find out he was a orphan when he was young as he said, "I never saw my mother or father." He had also lost five brothers but has one sister who

Chapters 6 and 7 Answers

Animal Farm Miscellaneous Questions On Chapters 6 and 7 Chapters 6 and 7 Questions and Answers (1) How much work are the animals now doing? (The animals still believe they are working for themselves. Although they already work a 60-hour week during spring and summer, Napoleon informs them that they can volunteer for Sunday afternoon work, as well. However, any animal not volunteering will have his rations cut in half.) (2) Why does Napoleon decide to engage in trade with neighboring farms? (Because certain items such as paraffin oil and dog biscuits are in short supply, Napoleon decides to sell a stack of hay and part of the wheat crop. Later they may have to sell some of the hens' eggs.) (3) How do the animals react? (They are troubled and think they remember a resolution against trade with humans. Four young pigs try to protest but are silenced by the dogs' growls and the sheeps' bleating of the slogan, "Four legs good, two legs bad." Squealer later explains the decision and asks if they have seen such a resolution written down, but no such record is found.) (4) How is the windmill destroyed? Why does Napoleon blame Snowball? (A violent November storm blows it down. Instead of admitting that the windmill's walls were not thick enough to support it against a strong wind, Napoleon blames Snowball for blowing it up. Since Snowball had drawn up the plans, the blame for

Critical analysis of the opening chapters of Waterland.

Critical analysis of the opening chapters of Waterland "...and each one of them was once a tiny baby sucking his mother's milk..." This conclusion to the book's opening paragraph epitomizes the first 4 chapters - a seemingly ambiguous idea that bears no real resemblance to anything. However, this is because Graham Swift writes deliberately, and even the strangest subject is actually entirely relevant to both the plot and story. This allows him to develop his novels in his own, unique way (Although numerous parodies of other writers are present in his words; the most apparent example being Thomas Hardy and his descriptive style, where Swift describes the setting for periods of time, relating it to his characters) and fully explore his setting through his words, in this case The Fens. The first four chapters of Waterland do not introduce a plot that has lots of substance, save for the discovery of the body, which "belonged to Freddie Parr", and the "cutting back on history". However, this is not Swift's aim - he attempts to acclimatise the reader to his world (Most evident in the Chapter 3 description "About The Fens"), through first the introduction of the characters (Sometimes brief, sometimes more developed) and then the region they live in. Swift begins his book writing "About the Stars and the Sluice". In this chapter we learn of Tom, Dick and his father, Henry, Crick

Mr Collins proposes to both Elizabeth and Charlotte but their reactions are very different. What does the behaviour of all three characters during chapters 19, 20 & 22 tell us about the different attitudes to marriage in the early nineteenth century? Throughout the book Pride & Prejudice, there are many different views towards marriage expressed. For example, Elizabeth Bennet wishes to marry for love whereas Charlotte Lucas doesn't mind marrying someone she doesn't love just for the security of marriage. Mr Collins, on the other hand, wants to marry to set a good example as the vicar, and on the advice from Lady Catherine de Bough. These attitudes are different from ours today in that women today don't need the security of marriage and rarely marry without even liking their prospective partner. In chapter six, Elizabeth shows that she only wishes to marry for love and not for money or security. When Charlotte tells Lizzie her advice, that you should know as little as possible about your partner before you marry them, Lizzie says "You make me laugh Charlotte...you would never act this way yourself!" This shows that Lizzie does not agree with this view of marriage and finds it slightly ridiculous. This is similar to our attitude to marriage today in that, like women today, Lizzie wants to know her partner properly, unlike Charlotte, and love them before she marries them. Mr

Jane Eyre Chapters 14 Summary and Analysis

Chapters 1-4 Summary: Chapter 1 The novel opens on a dreary November afternoon at Gateshead, the home of the wealthy Reed family. A young girl named Jane Eyre sits in the drawing room reading Bewick's History of British Birds. Jane's aunt, Mrs. Reed, has forbidden her niece to play with her cousins Eliza, Georgiana, and the bullying John. John chides Jane for being a lowly orphan who is only permitted to live with the Reeds because of his mother's charity. John then hurls a book at the young girl, pushing her to the end of her patience. Jane finally erupts, and the two cousins fight. Mrs. Reed holds Jane responsible for the scuffle and sends her to the "red-room"-the frightening chamber in which her Uncle Reed died-as punishment. Summary: Chapter 2 Two servants, Miss Abbott and Bessie Lee, escort Jane to the red-room, and Jane resists them with all of her might. Once locked in the room, Jane catches a glimpse of her ghastly figure in the mirror, and, shocked by her meager presence, she begins to reflect on the events that have led her to such a state. She remembers her kind Uncle Reed bringing her to Gateshead after her parents' death, and she recalls his dying command that his wife promise to raise Jane as one of her own. Suddenly, Jane is struck with the impression that her Uncle Reed's ghost is in the room, and she imagines that he has come to take revenge on his wife

The Voting Age Should Be Lowered to 16.

The Voting Age Should Be Lowered to 16 Why is it that we can work, join the army and get married by the age of 16, but we can't vote at 16? What is it about electing a political representative that's so much more important then choosing a husband or sending yourself off to potential death? The voting age was lowered to 18 nearly 30 years ago, and many people now believe this out of date law is in desperate need of another revision. The most ancient of arguments "No taxation without representation" is still relevant today. If you work at sixteen, whether it's flipping burgers in McDonald's, a modern apprenticeship or holding down a Saturday job, taxes are still being taken out of your hard earned wages. If you're contributing money to society, shouldn't you have a say in where it goes and how it's used? In some parts of the world, youth of all ages can be sent to adult prisons by adult courts where they are put on trial for adult crimes. But who determines what these crimes are? Who sets the age at which you can be tried as an adult? The voters do. This may sound oversimplified, but the fact is, when voters elect a lawmaker, they are also choosing the laws. Candidates running for local councils, mayor, Member of Parliament, and, of course, Prime Minister, make public the laws they want passed. Those against may use statistics to dispute this argument, citing poor voting
