The book goes through fazes of Jane's personal thoughts and descriptions of her surroundings to the parts of the book that move the plot along. I can't help but get a little bored when Jane stops explaining the plot because I keeping wondering what happens next. Again, for a ten year old Jane is surprisingly level headed and intelligent. When she is accused of being a liar she just stands there quietly and takes it. I expect her to throw a fit or at least cry, especially with all the abuse she has had. Sometimes it ruins the story a little when Jane foreshadows things like when her best friend at Lowood dies. "You came to bid me good-bye, then: you are just in time probably, (p.108)" (Helen to Jane). But I was worried that Jane would remain a child through the whole book so I am relieved that she grew up,it was just odd that it happened so fast. I was expecting more of a transition instead of a clear background introduction to the main story.
Questions:
1. What is a pinafore?
2. What year is the story in?
