Poem Analysis: Daddy's day.

Daddy's Day Cheryl Costello

 "My Daddy couldn't be here,
 because he lives so far away.
 But I know he wishes he could be,
 since this is such a special day.

 And though you cannot meet him,
 I wanted you to know.
 All about my daddy,
 and how much he loves me so.

 He loved to tell me stories
 he taught me to ride my bike.
 He surprised me with red roses,
 and taught me to fly a kite.

 We used to share fudge sundaes,
 and ice cream in a cone.
 And though you cannot see him,
 I'm not standing here alone.

 "Cause my daddy's always with me,
 even though we are apart
 I know because he told me,
 he'll forever be in my heart"

 With that, her little hand reached up,
 and lay across her chest.
 Feeling her own heartbeat,
 beneath her favorite dress.

 And when she dropped her hand back down,
 staring straight into the crowd.
 She finished with a voice so soft,
 but its message clear and loud.

 "I love my daddy very much, he's my shining star.
 And if he could, he'd be here,
 but heaven's just too far."

3 Written task: Jayne's diary entry.

Dear diary, day 1: I was finally getting close to Mr. Rochester, everything was running well; despite of my previous thoughts and prejudices towards Mr. Rochester he was able to get into my heart. Now everything is spoilt, all the hope I had and my closest approach to Mr. Rochester are now ruined. But how a gentlemen such as Mr. Rochester would prefer a deceiver, poor woman as me, there's just no way to compare someone like me with a high class person, like Blanche is. However now that he's gone for a week or so I'll have time to think about my feelings towards him, are they real? when did they started to blossom? I just feel misunderstanded and somehow an unrequited love, but how wouldn't it be an unrequited love? just by comparing my own portrait to her's I could see the discrepancy available just at the sense of our eyes, and that's how I am, in fact, a quite dissapointed person right now, the way he left after myself saving him from the abrupt fire is nonsense, and how worst it is if he leaves with Blanche Ingram, after asking me "Miss Eyre, do you find my handsome?" I still remember it perfectly and it makes my anger grow enough, after asking that, what would him expect? the most rational thing would be for me to think he likes me, but I can't realize why, is he playing with my feelings? Im so confused about all this feelings and i guess this will stay as this until he cames back from that party. Dear diary, day 2: Today Mr. Rochester arrived at Thornfield, Im yet really dissapointed to him, there's no possible way to understand why Mr. Rochester would act with those kinds of manners, knowing he's a gentleman, anyways he wasn't this time. Now my relation with Mr. Rochester is distant, I dont find any hope on this love anymore. He's acting really weird, I can't determine why he's acting this way, without even talking to me directly, maybe he isn't interested in a governess like me and would probably prefer some high class woman, yes, maybe that's the answer, this love might be forbidden and I shouldn't try to have this love affair with him and just continue with my things, but it's just dissapointing to have such a good relation and from one second to another make this good relation become into a real image of what misery is. Dear diary, day 3: A man came today, his name is Richard Mason, I didn't like him at the first time I saw him, the vacant in his eyes and his slowness is displeasing. A gypsy came today to check the guest's fortune, Blanche went first and once she came back she had a face full of dissapointment, after all if she married Mr. Rochester it wouldn't been a "love" marriage, just once based on the social status, Mr. Rochester would marry her for her beuty and she would marry him for his money. Eventually it was my turn to see my fortune with the gypsy. She told me I was pretty close to happiness, but then I found out that the gypsy was Mr. Rochester which actually surprised me since Blanche came out with that face of dissapointment, so I ask myself what did Mr. Rochester tell her? at the very first time I thought the gypsy was Grace but no, it was Mr. Rochester, but how come? why would Rochester do this kind of childish acts, the most logical explanation I can get is that he wants to play with my feelings, or in the case he loves me he is affraid of declaring his love to me, but no, that's imposible, I keep asking myself why would he love me, Im just a governess, he is a high class person, he's not suppoused to propose at a poor slave woman like myself, so this is getting really stressing. I just want to get things clear, I think it's time to ask him what he really feels about us. In the night Mr. Rochester knocked the door and asked me wether if im or not afraid of blood, I was really curious on that question and I was wondering why would he ask something like that in the middle of the night, I first had this awkward feeling of fear combined with a sensation of shyness, after all this feelings acting together I answered that I wasn't afraid of blood, he took my hand and took me through the hallway to Mason's room, he had been stabbed in his arm, I was schocked at the first time since I didn't knew who would do this kind of things, but then I remembered what happened some nights ago and it kind of gave me an idea of what was it. I wounded his injury and walked out of the room, I still wonder what is wrong with this house and what is behind that "gentlemen's look" that Rochester has. The content of this task is specially connected to Text and Context, bringing an analysis of Jane Eyre's feeling and deep emotions of her with Mr. Rochester, with this task I intended to imitate Jane's way of talking and thinking, using a diary entry format was the best text type to go with, since it brings us a good way of expressing the characters feelings on a creative manner and as well give the audience another perspective of the main character of the novel and maybe give them a different criteria of how Jane was acting and why. On this written task I was able to go with different topics such as feelings, historical context, and as well making it viable for almost every audience, in particular people with interest on this novel. My purpose on this task was to explain on a better method how Jane feelings made her feel uncomfortable during her stay at Thornfield and also explain the problems on the Victorian era, such as prejudice and money arrangements which made Jane have all this confusion with Mr. Rochester. This is how I explained the way context influenced Jane on her feelings and way of acting within her environment.

Dipity: Jayne's Life Timeline.

Charlotte Brönte's life timeline. on Dipity.

Reflections and chapters 5,6,7,8.

This video shows how students were treaten in the school, punishment as a way of education is forbidden, it may be the best way to educate a child in terms of success but it leaves a trail on the person's life which may affect them later on.

1) Imagine that you are falsely accused of stealing someone’s wallet at school. Your accuser is a credible witness, believed by your peers. Do you insist on your innocence and try to prove it? Do you confront your accuser? How do you live with the disapproval of your peers? Is the knowledge of your innocence enough to sustain you? Write a reflection statement referring to these questions.

Who nothing does, nothing fears. That would be my argument. Of course I would try to prove mi innocent and if no one trusts in my innocence I wouldn't care, I know that my consiousness is clean.

2) What is your opinion of Mr Brocklehurst’s philosophy of education?

It may work but I insist, it affects psychologically on a long-term timeline of our lives, clearly it changes our perspective, leaving fear on us, and educating with fear could work, but that fear would only work with the one producing it, not on everybody.

3) Compare Jayne Eyre to other mistreated heroines from children’s stories (Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow White). Knowing that Jane Eyre is the novel that broke many rules about how a mistreated heroine should act, compare and contrast them to Jane.

Jayne is bullied constantly and there's no prince yet to save her, if we want to compare Jayne to this princess first we can tell, she's not from the royalty, she's left alone by her parents. As a second perspective we can tell that she has to endure the bullying by leaving the house and thrive this herself.

1983 Film adaptation and Questions chapter 3-4-5

1) What liberties do you think de director took in adapting the novel into a film?

2) What criticism can you offer to the portrayal of Victorian Times presented in the film?

Well first of all and a theme we need to talk about is the abuse in the social structure, the high culture abused a lot from the low culture, just like the Reed's with Jayne, aswell how money was so important back then and just the fact of having money would grant you different traits and rights.

3) In a contemporary context, how would society manage the constant abuse and bullying against a child within the heart of his/her family?

The only way is with the rights child have, aswell as human rights but there's no way to stop this, there will always exists cases of abuse and bullying within family or schoolmates.

Chapter 3-4-5

1) How would you describe the relationship between Jane and Mr. Lloyd? How do you think this affects her?

Mr's Lloyd kindness is very helpful to Jayne constant bullying physically and psychologically, one of her few reasons to stay there, but still not enough kindness compared to all the harassment from the Reed's.

2) How did Jane's character changed in her confrontation with both Mr. Brocklehurst and Mrs. Reed?

After Mrs. Reed comment about she gets really irritated, but afterwards she manages to tell Mr. Brocklehurst the truth about her dark childhood.

3) What is your first perception of Lowood School? What do you predict for Jane's future at Lowood?

We can tell that life there is tough, even Jayne noticed that after her first day there, bad food which led to unfed students, no water, etc. I could tell that she will have a bad time at Lowood, but with friendship she will be able to have better time rather than on Gateshead.

Image Analysis: Charlotte Brönte's Landscapes

Through this images we can get lonely and dark feelings, we can presume that the graveyard may justify the horrorific events in the novel, such as ghosts in the red-room or the short story Jayne heard. Aswell in the other images I can see different feels such as peace and freedom, I could presume that's what Jayne dreams were.

All this images gives us a perspective of Jayne Eyre's context and I could tell, in some sort of way, Jayne's hopes.
