Miss Temple is one of the teachers at Lowood who turns out to be very nice to the young girls there. She is known as the teacher who lets the girls off easy and doesn’t have anything negative about her personality. Most of the other teachers at Lowood are harsher to the girls and treat them as if they are dogs or something and sometimes make them look bad. For Jane, she can’t deal with this because in her opinion she thinks its not fair the way the teachers treat the girls and that is the one thing she dislikes about them. And how they beat the children for something that isn’t as serious like for example when Helen gets beat because her fingernails weren’t clean and Jane is completely against that and that makes her have a negative attitude towards the adults. In this situation, Helen teaches her a lesson pretty much saying no matter what negativity the teachers bring always treat them with respect, which Jane thinks of the opposite. I think Brocklehurst’s philosophy of education consist of abusing young girls as discipline hoping that they learn their lesson simply from beatings.

Jane is still living through her young tough life at Lowood and it seems like things just won’t get any better. They still continue to starve her and mistreat her badly. I think Jane is like Cinderella because in the beginning of her story her aunt and cousins treat her like she doesn’t belong in the family like how Cinderella’s step mother and step sisters treated her. I do also think that with her life at Lowood, it reminds me a lot of Annie because of how Ms. Hannigan believes in abuse for discipline when the children act up just like Brocklehurst. I think the way Mrs. Fairfax describes Rochester makes the reader think he is God’s gift to the world or something and is the perfect gentleman who likes to explore and tends to be on long journeys a lot. Bronte achieves this by making it sound like he is the type of person that doesn’t cause trouble and isn’t too hostile or anything like that. But when Jane meets him, he turns out to be the complete opposite and has a real strong presence upon him. He has more of a negative attitude that a positive one. I don’t think he measure up the other romantic heroes at all. Just because of the way he carries himself in the beginning his story when we first meet him.

So far the book is going well, lots of interesting things happening with Jane right now. She’s starting to adjust herself with another new beginning at Thorne field. This is a good thing because theres not a lot of drama here and the people here are not the same kind of people at Lowood. Which I am liking because we start to read more about the Jane who is dealing with less situations as before when her life in her younger days were much more sad. Mr. Rochester starts to open up too, which is kind of surprising because you would think he will be this mean spirited character throughout the whole story and is switched up on us. He starts opening up to Jane and they turn out to be getting along with each other, which in my opinion relieves Jane. Jane is tolerant of Adele because she sees a little girl who is happy with her life and is always smiling about everything and Jane is considerate about that because she has missed out on that feeling in her childhood so she doesn’t want to take that from Adele.
