Agony Column

Dear Jane,

Firstly, I'd like to thank you for your last letter, because you were very opened and shared your thoughts and feelings with me. You asked me what would have I done, if Mrs Reed's son had hit me and when she had locked me into the Red Room and also what I think about going to Lowood.

Well, first of all, Mrs Reed and her children are definitely treating you very badly. It's wrong and impolite to say that you are lower than the servants. After all, you are Mrs Reed's lost husband's sister's daughter, not some kind of stranger. Secondly, it's is absolutely unfair that you got punished instead of Mrs Reed's son, who caused the trouble by throwing that book. Maybe you shouldn't have hit him back after that, but I'm afraid that I'd have done the same; Moreover, when she wanted to punish someone, she should have punished you both then, though it still wasn't your fault. OK, she decided to punish you, but locking you into the Red Room is too rough. It's normal, because she knows that you are afraid of this room due to your uncle died there. 

You also wrote me, that you got ill soon after the incident. I'm glad that you're fine now. Doctor suggested you to go school. I think that it's a good idea. Firstly, you'll get away from your cruel aunt. What ise more, you will become an educated young lady one day. If I were you, I'd definitely use this opportunity. I'm sure you are going to like this place a hundred times more and be happier than you are at the moment. 

Jane, use this opportunity and go to school. I'm sure that you are not going to regret this decision. Life that you are living now is quite miserable, so I believe that things can go only better. I'm already waiting for your next letter.

All the best,

Katren

"Jane Eyre" . Charlotte Bronte

      I read C. Bronte's "Jane Eyre". This book's publisher is Pearson Education Limited in association with Penguin Books Ltd. Reading level is 5 and number of pages is 152.

      This book tells a story of an orphan girl named Jane. She is living with her cruel aunt and her children with who she doesn't get along with. She is unhappy and miserable. Fortunately she is sent to Lowood school, where she is willing to go just to get away from her aunt. Jane has some difficulties at the beginning in new school, but she makes friends with Helen Burns and starts to enjoy studies. She likes there quite well and she gets along with the school's head teacher, too. During the school-years unfortunately her close friend Helen dies. Then after few years Miss Temple also leaves Lowood. Since Jane has grown-up she wants to experience something new. She gets a permission to leave Lowood behind and go to Thornfield to become a governess there. But in Thornfield, after meeting Mr Rochester, happens something new for Jane...
      Although this book was quite sad and miserable at some points, it was still very good. I'd definitely recommend it to everyone. Here's some words that were new to me:
murmur- sumin
anxiety- rahutus
deceitful- valelik
obedience- kuulekus
hollow- kume;õõnes
urge- aje;tung
clergyman- kirikuõpetaja
firmly- kindlalt
scorn- põlgama
plainness- lihtsus
