Jane Eyre By: Charlotte Bronte

  First off, the novel I'm reading about talks about a orphan girl who was taken in my her uncle's wife but later was sent to school and never see them again. So far in the novel, I haven't gone that far so there isn't really anything big happening. I am looking forward to when Jane meets Mr Rochester. That is because from the description of Adele about Mr. Rochester, it seems like he is a very outstanding and good natured person. But, currently I think that the book is boring to be blunt. I could lose my train of thought about the novel in a couple of minutes, so  I tend to reread the paragraphs or pages. What I was looking forward in the book was the romance between Jane and Rochester from the summary on the back of the book.

   I suppose that I will probably reflect the plot or character in my creative project because I believe that I will most likely fall into the plot or the character more than the theme and other literature terms. The plot would contain a very smooth rise of the conflict till when Jane encounters a big problem that will somehow put the thing that she is doing at that time in danger. Also, it will be something that she enjoys or loves to do. But, If I were to reflect on the characters, the main focus would be Mr. Rochester, because I will find myself engrossed into the romance and events that happens between the two of them. Also, the conflicts that Jane will have with her relatives, family members, or friends.

   There was one book that I read during my 8th grade year called  Chinese Cinderella  By: Adeline Yeh Mah. The novel was about an unwanted daughter named Yeh Mah( the author), who has talents but was unrecognized by her family, especially her stepmother Niang( mother in Chinese). Yeh tried her hardest to please her Niang but her Niang didn't recognize her talents. Instead her Niang was trying to send her away from the family. Also, Niang was treating Yeh and her stepbrothers/ stepsisters unequally. Similarly to one of the themes from Jane Eyre, the theme of trying your best to please someone but that someone doesn't even recognize you.

   At this point, I am thinking of making a poster about the plot and events throughout the novel. Also, I would add character information and details about their life and personality. Or I can write a essay that I can turn in to the teacher.
