Please analyze Jane Eyre's character (in F3).Jane Eyre is the masterpiece of Charlotte Bronte, who is a famous talented realistic woman novelist. Jane is neither a very beautiful woman, nor rich, but her genuine, selfless love forRochester, and her good personality strike us deeply. On the other hand, we should see the author’ s limitation. In that society, it is impossible for Jane and Rochester to be really equal in social class. They are just equal in spirit. They get together because Rochester has been blinded by the fire and has lost his wealth at the end of the novel. Therefore, they get married on the condition that their gap of social classes narrows. However, We should learn her virtue. We should pursue our ideals and have our opinions about everything. Jane Eyre sets a good example for women and is a good model for women forever. The protagonist and narrator of the novel, Jane is an intelligent, honest, plain-featured young girl forced to contend with oppression, inequality, and hardship. Although she meets with a series of individuals who threaten her autonomy, Jane repeatedly succeeds at asserting herself and maintains her principles of justice, human dignity, and morality. She also values intellectual and emotional fulfillment. Her strong belief in gender and social equality challenges the V ictorian prejudices against women and the poor.4.

What is your impression of F8?The story may sound simple, but the truth behind the words is remarkable. When I heard the name of the film first time, I considered the Shawshank to be a man’ name, but in face it is a jail——a hell in the world. Not only for the inhumanity of the jailors——they behaved brutally; but also for the jail gnawed at people’ heart by keeping them waiting and waiting as life passed. It seemed that only those utterly worthless people who gave up everything could su rvive. That’s where the story happened.The part impressed me most is when Andy got out of the jai. He extended his arms in front of him in the heavy rain as if he were welcoming the fresh air and the freedom. At that moment, I saw the faith win the darkness, discharging light dazzling the eyes in the dark blue sky. Under the light, I could feel my recreant innermost being shivering as his voice said: “Remember, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies!”That’s why I like this film: it encourages people to fight to preserve the dignity of human beings, to appreciate the beauty of life, and the most important is to keep hope forever. He once that is born, that is die. Everyone is the same. The only difference is whether busy living or busy dying. The film tells me even a man can live once, but if he keeps faith, keeps hope and works his life right, then once is enough. The faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark, the hope is the chief happiness that this world affords, and the life should be full of the singing of the bird and the happiness hope brings. " What’s that do you think? It’s the trembling of the heart, the singing of the mind, the flying of the soul and the hope to be free.”9. Why did Maggie change her mind to cooperate with Ike (in F4)?After Ike forces Maggie to face her fears, the two find themselves becoming more and more attracted to each other.10. Why does Captain V on Trap treat his children like in an army (in F5)?He loved his children and he hoped they were happiness without the misery of the war.。
