Thank you for the compliment!
I, to...Hi, James!<br /><br />Thank you for the compliment! <br /><br />I, too, am finding this novel to be a very emotional experience. It brought back memories of the first time I read it, and how sad I felt about Jane's predicament. It really gets to me whenever I see a child mistreated. I especially dislike it when adults insist on respect from their children, when they themselves do not giveMaria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-16096847411390869762014-09-29T11:35:06.900-04:002014-09-29T11:35:06.900-04:00I especially appreciate your thoughtful answers to...I especially appreciate your thoughtful answers to questions 3 and 6. They are insightful comments on the action of the book. I am finding rereading the novel a more emotional experience than I remember from my last reading.

Thanks for the compliment!!
You know...Hey, Brian!<br /><br />Thanks for the compliment!!<br /><br />You know, it's interesting how a literary masterpiece has layers and layers of meaning. I didn't pick up on Bessie's inconsistent attitude toward Jane during my first reading. Well, I was only around 17 at the time. Lol. I sure noticed it now! Yes, she's mostly kind to Jane when Abbott is not around. <br /><br />Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-32893650826802310022014-09-29T05:28:01.236-04:002014-09-29T05:28:01.236-04:00Outstanding commentary Maria.

You are absolutely correct.<br /><br />The question about the curtains and the drapes really did get me thinking. There really is a lot going on and I think we both saw some different angles to them. <br /><br />This read along is turning into a super experience Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.com
