Jane Eyre Reading Schedule: Complete
Friday we took a look at sample questions and essays for the "poetry" prompt on the AP exam. Our own examination of poetry dovetails into the study of how to properly write about it. Please bring your revised essays on "It's A Woman's World" to class on Monday.
Jane Eyre continues on in her quest for self-discovery-- but other mysteries abound. What, in heaven's name or any other, is going on upstairs and Thornfield Hall? Jane insists to Rochester that, "I like to serve you, sir, and to obey you in all that is right" (Chapter 20). But--will he point her in the right direction, or will she have to discover it on her own, or will "Grace Poole" break loose again? Stay tuned, dear reader.
