Mrs. G what is Jane Eyre Essay Topics “Places of the Heart”: The importance of the setting? is that what we are doing in class on monday or is it due monday?

Ms. G said...

It is what we are doing in class. The only thing due is your letter.

This has been the set up of the syllabus all year, but sorry for any confusion.

i left my english binder at school and since we dont have school tomorrow i have no way of getting the essay assignment, and everyone else i know left theirs at school

Ms. G said...

Funny...

I don't have anyone by the name of
"Anonymous" in my class. That is rude and abusing this blog.

If you continue to post anonymous comments, I will not answer them.

Have some respect and put your name.

Also, it is not my problem that you left your binder at school. YOu should not have waited until last minute to do it. Solve the problem!

Post the essay topic? No, I gave it you in class over a week ago. Solve the problem.

Paper is still due tomorrow.

No exceptions.

can someone please post one of the questions

Can someone post all of the questions or just the one with the places and how they relate to Jane this would be a big help. I really need it PLEASE!!!

I got them and if anyone needs them here they are. (Not 100% positive if these are perfect)

1. One of the major themes of the novel conserns the proper balance between passion and reason as a prequisite(not sure about that word) for marraige. Explain how Bronte reaveles this theme through Jane's relationship with St. John and Rochester.

2. What speical predujes are shown in Jane( not 100%).

3.Explain which characters from te novel undergo mental or moral growth. Identify 3 who are unchangnig "static". Explain why it is important that these characters don't change.

4.Compare the themes of love, forgiveness, and independence.

5.Explain how Bronte uses setting especially nature and other litterary devices to develop Jane's character.

THOSE ARE ALL OF THEM AND REMEBER THEY HAVE TO BE 500-600 WORDS.
MLA FORMAT

Ms. Gentile do we need a works cited page?

Anonymous said...

thanks

what if our paper exceeds 600 words?

Anonymous said...

can it be more than 600 Ms. Gentile?

Ms. G said...

I wouldn't have assigned you a word count if I didn't expect you to stick by it.

Please stay within the ball park. Grades are closing and I need to be able to read them.

The challenge is to not only write a great essay, but to be concise yet thorough.
