Dear Miss Zhu,

亲爱的周老师

How time flies! It has been a few years since I left high school, but I still remember you in my heart, because you’re the best teacher in my mind. It’s not only because you taught me knowledge, but also you taught me how to study. I have really benefitted a lot from you. So I would like to express my great thanks to you, and share my life in college with you.

时间飞逝!我高中毕业已经几年了,但我仍然把你记在我的心里,因为你是我心目中最好的老师。这不仅是因为你教与我知识,而且你还教我如何学习。从你身上我真的获益匪浅。所以我想向你表达我的感谢,并与你分享我的大学生活。

Now I’m studying in Hunan First Normal College, which is Chairman Mao’s former school. I major in English, because I find it so fun and interesting. As far as I’m concerned, our English Department is the best department in our college. The teachers in our department are knowledgeable, experienced, and warm-hearted. And my classmates are nice, friendly and helpful. Thus, I have a good atmosphere to study. When I have difficulties in study, I always ask my teachers for help or discuss with my classmates. Through their help, I have made great progress in my English study.

我现在在湖南第一师范学校学习,这是主席之前呆过的学校。我的专业是英语,因为我觉得它很有趣。我觉得我们英语系是我校最好的学部。我们系的老师知识渊博,经验丰富,热心肠。我的同学们也很和蔼,友好,乐于助人。因此,我拥有一个很好的学习氛围。当我在学习上遇到困难时,我总是向我的老师寻求帮助或与同学讨论。在他们的帮助下,我在英语学习上取得了很大的进步。

College life is much different from high school life. In college, we should acquire knowledge as well as improve our integrated abilities. There are a lot of English classes for us to learn, such as Basic English, Oral English, Listening, Reading, Writing, Translation, Grammar, English Literature, and so on. I enjoy these classes very much. Except English, we have many other subjects to learn. Life seems so busy here but it’s so fruitful for me.

大学生活与高中生活有很大的不同。在大学,我们要获取知识也要提高我们的综合能力。我们要上很多的英语课,比如,基础英语,英语口语,听力阅读,写作,翻译,语法,英语文学等。我非常喜欢这些课。除英语外,我们还要学习很多其他科目。在这里生活是如此的忙碌,但这对我来说是如此丰硕的收获。

After class, I usually go to the English Corner. There I can practice my oral English by talking with foreigners or chatting with my schoolmates. Now, I’m able to communicate with foreigners well. Sometimes I also take part in some social activities. For instance, last weekend I attended an interesting play. As it was my first performance, I felt a little nervous at the beginning. But when I appeared on the stage, I made every audience laugh happily. I was so proud of myself at that moment, because this was my first achievement.

下课后,我经常去英语角。在那里我可以通过与外国人或我的同学聊天来练习我的英语口语。现在我可以很好的和外国人交流了。有时候我也可以参加一些社交活动。例如,上周我参加了一个有趣的表演。因为是我第一次表演,所以一开始的时候我觉得有点紧张。但当我出现在舞台上时,我让每一个观众都开心的笑了。在那一刻,我为我自己感到骄傲,因为这是我的第一个收获。

What about your present life? I hope to hear from you soon.

你目前生活怎么样呢?希望很快能收到你的回

At last, I hope everything goes well with you. Please give my best regards to your family.

最后,我希望你一切顺利。请代我向你的家人问好。

Sincerely yours,

Jason

篇2:《麦琪的礼物》英文读后感

Its a short story by O.Henry that has moved me for a long time.Maybe most of you are familar with its name,that is,The Gift of the Magi.I have read it many times but every time I like to read it slowly and deliberately.I think "The Gift of the Magi"

is meant to be savored.

Maybe there is no necessity for me to repeat the main idea of the story.But Im

so fascinated with the short story that I want to retell it yo you,and to myself.

It happened to a very poor but blissful young couple named Jim and Della in the end of 18th century in England.Because of the maladies of that society and the effect of economic crisis,they worked hard but earned little.Life is very hard for them.Despite of this,their love to each other and the enthusiasm for life didnt changed at all.When Chrismas day was approuching ,Della used the money she got from selling her beautiful hair which she treasured very much to give Jim a fob for his grandfathers pocket watch.But Jim had already sold that watch to buy Della tortoiseshell combs to wear in her long hair,not knowing shed cut it off.

It appears that the gifts they gave each other have been useless.But I think they gave each other the best of what they had to make the other happy.Isnt that true love?We can image,in such rough conditions,as it said in the story,"Life is made up of sobs,sniffles,and smiles,with sniffles predominating."Itst absolute reasonable for them to be beaten by the misery.But the fact is that no matter how tough life had been,they wouldt lose heart.With strong faith and their love ,they did their best to make the other pleased."Whennever Mr. James came home and reached his flat ,above he was called Jimand greatly hugged by Mrs. James."Maybe this account is the best description of their love and struggle against hard life.It was said that the povertier life is ,the firmer and truer love is."Actually,theyd given the very best they had out of love.

"They are too foolish children in a flat,who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house.But in a last word,to the wise of these days,let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest."Said the writer in the last paragraph.Yes,they are wisest.They are the magi.Are there any reasons for us not to show respect for the young couple?

I remind my grandparents.They have spent fifty years together.No romantic words,no stirring behaviours,just comman even pedestrian life.But I can say love exists in every detail of their life.They have gone through war period,three years natural disasters,cultural revolution and so on.But no matter what happens,they are always considering for the other.Even now both of them have become old step by step,they still cared about each other.My grandparents,in my opinion,is a pair of lovers forever.

Love has nothing to do with money,possession or status.Its consideration,tolerance and respect.Its giving ones best to the other even it means sacrifice.Its affection which connects two persons hearts,and its reinforced by adversities.

Struggle against adversities.Nothing did they have,at least they owened love.Never give up as long as love exists.From"The Gift of the Magi",from Jim and Della and from my grandparents,I have learned a lot about love,life and hope.

亚里士多德曾经说过:“古往今来,人们开始探索,都应起源于对自然万物的惊异。”人类要通过探索来发现世界,从而活得更精彩,就像小王子一样。

文章以小王子在地球上的好朋友飞行员为叙述者,讲述了小王子的故事:小王子是一个神秘可爱的孩子,住在一个叫做B-612的小星球,是这个星球唯一的居民。他自幼酷爱绘画,可画出的作品却被大人们视为无稽之谈。他更深爱着星球上唯一的一朵玫瑰花,也更热爱探索,是一位的资深的“旅行家”。他在旅途中经过了六个小行星,遇到了骄傲自大的国王;遇到了无所事事的酒鬼;遇到了忙得不可开交的商人;遇到了讨厌职业却忠于职守的点灯人;遇到了顽固的地理学家。书中的其他主人公都存在着这种平乏的生活理念,而小王子则想拼命挣脱,活得精彩。就拿点灯人来说他的行星一昼夜只有一分钟,所以他一分钟就要点一次灯。他的生命便浪费在这一开一关上了。这样的生活难道不是平庸的吗?在生活中,我们不能这样机械地生活。

书中我最喜欢的人物是小王子,因为他热爱生活,敢于探索。他追求真挚的友谊,有着博大的情怀和理想,善良、勇敢、开朗、活泼、天真、可爱。对于小王子的童真,相比之下,而小王子则象征着希望、爱、天真无邪和埋沉在成人心底的美好童年。

世上总有很多新鲜事,有的是你没有机会见到,有的是你从来不敢想象。每一个人都有发现新鲜事物的勇气和一颗好奇与探索的心。

雾都孤儿》以雾都伦敦为背景,讲述了一个孤儿悲惨的身世及遭遇。以下是小编带来的雾都孤儿英文读后感,希望对你有帮助。

Oliver Twist is written by Charles Dickens.

Charles Dickens is one of the greatest writers in the England. He was born in a poor family, but later he became famous and rich. The famous novel --A Tale of Two Cities is written by him, too.

This novel shows us the cruelty and crime of London. Oliver Twist, the hero, is a poor orphan. He lived in a life filled with taunts. Nobody loved him. With visions of his future, he decided to go to London. He thought a new life was coming, but he was wrong, a group of thieves were waiting for him.

The author created a group of bad men.

Fagin, an old man, with a horribly ugly face and red hair, was the head of those thieves. He tried to make Oliver be a criminal.

Bill Sikes was a cruel and evil man in the group. He had a bad

Monks, Oliver’s brother, did bad things to hurt Oliver. He wanted to get the legacies left by his father alone. He paid Fagin to trap Oliver into a life of crime. In fact, they were all afraid of being put into prison and being hanged. They can’t live happily.

Nancy, a poor girl, loved a bad man. She had to help Bill Sikes perpetrate, because she loved him. She had to be loyal to the criminal group, because she loved him. Actually, she was kind. She helped Oliver at the risk of her life. If she hadn’t fell in love with Sikes, she would have a happy ending.

The author showed these ugly things to us, he described an ugly world. But there are more kind people in the novel.

Mr. Brownlow, an old friend of Oliver’s father, took good care of Oliver.

Mrs. Maylie, Harry Maylie’s mother, saved Oliver of his life.

Miss Rose is the aunt of Oliver, in fact.

They all protect Oliver from hurt.

Oliver was unlucky to meet so many evil people, but he was luckier to get help from so many kind people.

In the end of the novel, all the evil people were punished. Oliver got what he should get. Rose married Harry Maylie and they lived happily. All the kind people have a happy ending.

Righteousness can always beat evil. I think this is what the author wants to tell. Although there are many ugly things in the world, we must believe that righteousness can always beat evil.

We must store kindness even though we are in ugly situation. One is poor if he doesn’t have kindness. One is rich if he has kindness. So please store your kindness in your mind.

What’s more, the novel also tells us to be brave. Oliver was brave enough to overcome all the problems he had met. No matter how difficult the problem is, we can’t give up, we must try our best to solve it.

From Oliver Twist , I have learnt a lot .It’s really a good novel.

平凡世界》作者路遥是陕西省清涧县人,出生于一个贫穷的农民家庭,从小被继治伯父抚养,曾在乡下当地一年民办教师,随后回到县里工作。

《平凡的世界》于1991年荣获“茅盾文学奖”,从此奠定了他在中国文坛上的文学地位。

小说以陕北黄土高原上孙、金、田三家人的命运为中心,反映了“文革”到改革开放的社会面貌,从郝红梅为了摆脱地主身份和顾养民恋爱可看出当时地主受人轻视,只有有钱有权便可呼风唤雨,而从少安与润叶真心相爱却无奈地被田福堂拆散。少安被迫背离乡可看出当时的人对身世、成份和权力是多么的重视。

而闹旱灾时田福军冒着犯法的危险救济百姓让人在这黑暗的社会里看到了一丝光芒,显得格外地与众不同。

读了《平凡的世界》我最大的收获便是得知了平凡中的伟大,作者路遥用自己深厚的写作功底将孙少平,孙少安及一系列人物的关系以及那农村淳朴的特点表现得淋漓尽致,让人拍案叫绝。《平凡的世界》没有戏剧化的情节,传奇性的故事却一次又一次地给我们演变了一个真理,平凡的就是伟大的,文章人物刻画也十分地独特,从细节处表现了了一个个鲜活地人物个性。

纵观全书,字里行间流淌的全是浓浓的爱意。所有人世间的真情都在这里一一的展现,这也成为了全书最大的看点。

因为有爱,世界变得美丽!

路遥在后记中写道“希望将自己的心灵与人世间无数的心灵沟通。”我想他做到了。

看东西只有用心才能看得清楚,重要的东西用眼睛是看不见的。

——题记

我处于在花年夏季,对于像我这么大的女孩来说,喜爱读的肯定是此刻很流行的《意林》。我是一个文静的宅女,喜爱宅在家里,手捧一本书,在阳光下,静静欣赏。感性的话

小王子》是我在前几天读的,对于这种梦幻的名字,我认为是一部童话,因此我是打心底不愿意去看得。母亲说:“这书又不是童话,别瞧不起人家,每一部书都是值得我们去看的。”我听了,懵懵懂懂。《小王子》这部书的作者是安托万·德·圣埃克苏佩里,他是法国文学史上最神秘的飞行员作家,毕生崇尚自由,致力于从航空探索人生与礼貌,他在1943年写下这部书,而在1944年一次航拍侦察任务中失踪,他的传奇生涯,伴随着小王子的脚步共同消失天际。

有人说,它是一部童话,却不知它是一部杯具。对于书中小王子来说,他的爱是忧伤的,沉重的。每一部童话的结局都是灰姑娘与王子幸福的生活在一起,而小王子却在刚发现爱的真谛后,死在了沙漠中。

故事的情节十分简单,主要讲了小王子正因他爱的玫瑰,离开了属于自己的星球,先后游览了五个星球,作者让小王子以小孩的眼光,说明了大人们的空虚,愚蠢以及狂妄,也说明了大人的孤独与寂寞。当应对地球上万千朵玫瑰时,小王子发现自己的玫瑰不是独一无二的,而在狐狸告诉他:“对你驯养过的东西,你永远负有职责”时,他选取回他的星球,找他心爱的玫瑰。小王子驯服了狐狸,而玫瑰驯服了小王子。小王子是脆弱的,他无法忍受思念的苦楚,他选取用毒液抛开那份笨重的身体,但是,小王子的灵魂得到自由,而他却再也不能回到他的星球,看他心爱的玫瑰。

我们终究做不了小王子,正因我们并不了解他,但是我们有这和他一样的纯洁的心,带着他,在繁华的世界中找到属于自己的彼岸。具体而微造句

失去了才懂得珍惜,遗失了才想去拾回,如同书中所描述的,童年是完美的,我们不能祈求上帝让时刻停止,让此刻成为不朽,但是我们能够珍惜此刻的每一分每一秒,让自己的人生充满着阳光。

A piggy named Wilbur and a spider named Charlotte became friend. The future of this poor piggy is a delicious course of the Christmas feast. Though ever considering escaping, yet after all he is only a pig. While Charlotte--although be viewed as small and insignificant--said, "Let me help you!" Whereupon she used her silk to weave words such as "Some Pig" and "Terrific" in her web, which are regarded as a marvel by human beings. Those marvelous words alter Wilburs destiny, and finally earned him a happy and peace future. Nevertheless, at that moment, the life of Charlotte almost completed its span...

The most impressive episode of this book is the notable friendship between Charlotte and Wilbur. A spider is a threat to a piggy at first glance, but loneliness suddenly makes Wilbur be familiar with Charlotte and surprisingly he found that this spider is extraordinary warmhearted.

What impressed us deeply is the words "You never die, Ill save you!"by Charlotte when Wilbur was wailing "I dont wanna die! I dont!" To fulfill her promise, Charlotte devoted all her lifetime and asked no rewards, until the moment she died.

Such kind of friendship is pure and clean, Only leaving the selfless love and pure kindness. When this sort of emotion has already been lacked seriously in contemporary society, this story undoubtedly moves the readers. Maybe every reader envies that Charlotte has a Wilbur, and Wilbur has a Charlotte.

The word "Goodbye" has already gone with the wind, accompanied by her silk, only leaving a Charlottes web in everyones heart.

主人公是个有着简单思维的孩子,他被一朵玫瑰花驯服了,相信看过这本书的人,都应该知道。这个人就是来自B612星球的一个小孩子,一位可爱的小王子

这个小王子去过七个星球,第一个星球上有一个霸道的国王,第二个星球上有一个爱慕虚荣的人,第三个星球上是一位酒鬼,第四个星球上有一个数星星的实业家,第五个星球上有一个孤单的点灯人,第六个星球上有一个不出门的物理学家,第七个就是我们人类一直生活的地球。

其实,小王子还去过一个星球,就是B612星球,就是小王子自己的家。家里有一朵玫瑰花,他们发生了一点小矛盾,然后小王子便离开了自己的家园。

在这个熟睡了的小王子身上,使我非常感动的,是他对他那朵花的忠诚,是在他心中闪烁的那朵玫瑰花的形象。这朵玫瑰花,即使在小王子睡着了的时候,也象一盏灯的火焰一样在他身上闪耀着光辉……

“你这里的人在同一个花园中种植着五千朵玫瑰。”小王子说:“可是,他们却不能从中找到自己所要寻找的东西……”“然而,他们所寻找的东西却是可以从一朵玫瑰花或一点儿水中找到的……”

是呀,很多东西,大人们一直努力地追求,在寻找,可是他们没有想到,他们追求和寻找的就是简单的快乐。就像很多人努力挣钱,只是为了有闲暇在沙滩上晒晒日光浴,可是他们却永远不懂得拉着我们的手,悠闲地在路边徜徉,闻着路边的野花散发的阵阵芳香,听着田野的昆虫发出的阵阵鸣叫。眼睛是什么也看不见的。应该用心去寻找。

这本书是为了让大人知道了,小孩子有自己的世界。也是让小孩子知道,珍惜自己的世界,珍惜这简单的快乐。

篇14:《傲慢与偏见》英文读后感

全文共 2087 字

+ 加入清单

Mrs. Bennet wants to marry off her daughters. If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time. Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions. Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives. Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.

In “Pride and Prejudice”, the sister of Mr. Bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying Jane because the Bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them. From this, we can see there are a lot of obstacles for a not very rich woman to marry a wealthy husband. The society, the relatives would not allow them to get married.

In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind. A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages. Education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one’s marriage. Marry for money is still a big problem in our society. We can’t help thinking: can money determine everything?

Austen left this problem for us to think. The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems. Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively. The plots in her works are always very natural. The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics. I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic. Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.

This summer, I read the "million pounds" this book, although I understand the money is not everything, but the money can let many people to the rich bow, they to the pound, tried to woo the hero of the story -- Henry Adams, for the sake of this piece of the pound, from Henry arrogant suddenly transform to bow to him, this kind of behavior is very shameful.

This story tells the story of the hero accidentally accidentally drifting to London, Londons two billionaire brothers made a bet. Elder brother think if you give him a $one million pounds, 30 days later he will be unable to prove that the money is his own and starved to death, and the younger brother is think he will live very well. So they gave a piece of millions of pounds to Henry, their two people to travel abroad for 30 days. Came back and told Henry that piece because millions of pounds by all people, to bring him, and almost all things are to let him free to buy. And because of this piece of pounds to improve social status, and finally arrived in addition to the royal family of the supremacy of the duke of, is married to a beautiful wife, received thirty thousand yuan bank interest. And got good jobs from brother, lived a happy life.

Ive realized people for the money, try very hard to bring one person, to the bow, and all aspects from obedience to him and arranged everything in place, just for the money. To have no money people, rude, arrogant to the rich people, honestly.

It makes me feel very angry, everything should be equal, and these people have only value money, as long as the rich man will treat him very well, but have no money will be arrogant rude. Everyone is equal the reasonable use where go to?

In our life, but also often have such a thing, everyone cried out, should be equal, but see the rich man, but the lack of one by one all, just want to get more money, earn a little more, I dont think this is a very vital qi, I hope everyone can, put the correct injustices in the city!

这个暑期中,我读了《百万英镑》这本书,我懂得了虽然钱不是万能的,但这钱却会让许多人对有钱人点头哈腰,他们为了这张英镑,拼命地拉拢故事的主人公——亨利·亚当斯,为了这张英镑,从对亨利傲慢无礼一下子转变为了对他点头哈腰,这种行为是非常可耻的。

这个故事讲述了主人公无意中不小心漂泊到了伦敦,伦敦的两位富翁兄弟打了一个赌。哥哥认为如果给他一张百万元的英镑,30天后他会因为无法证明这些钱是自己的而饿死,而弟弟却认为他会活得很好。于是他们就把一张百万英镑给了亨利,自己两人出国旅游了30天。回来后得知亨利因为那张百万英镑被所有人追捧,想拉拢他,几乎所有东西都让他免费买下。并因为这张英镑不断提高社会地位,最后到了除王室外的最高地位公爵之位,还娶到了一个漂亮的老婆,得到了三万元的银行利息。又从兄弟那儿得到了很好的工作,过上了幸福的生活。

我从中体会到了人们会为了钱,拼命拉拢莫个人,对这个人点头哈腰,以及对他从各个方面都顺从和安排得事事到位,就只是为了钱。对没钱的人高傲无礼,对有钱的人低声下气,老老实实。

这使我感到很愤怒,凡事都应该人人平等,而这些人却只看重钱,只要有钱人都会把他招待得很好,可遇到没钱的就会高傲无礼。这人人平等的道理用到哪里去了?

在我们生活中,也经常有这样的事,大家都喊着应该人人平等,但看到有钱人,却缺一个个都低声下气,只想多拿些钱,多赚一点,我认为这是很不正气的表现,希望大家都能一起,把城市中的不正之风改过来!

篇20:《简爱》英文读后感

全文共 5596 字

+ 加入清单

I first read "Jane Eyre" in eighth grade and have read it every few years since. It is one of my favorite novels, and so much more than a gothic romance to me, although thats how I probably would have defined it at age 13. I have always been struck, haunted in a way, by the characters - Jane and Mr. Rochester. They take on new depth every time I meet them...and theirs is a love story for the ages.

Charlotte Brontes first published novel, and her most noted work, is a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story. Jane is plain, poor, alone and unprotected, but due to her fierce independence and strong will she grows and is able to defy societys expectations of her. This is definitely feminist literature, published in 1847, way before the beginning of any feminist movement. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the novel has had such a wide following since it first came on the market. It is also one of the first gothic romances published and defines the genre.

Jane Eyre, who is our narrator, was born into a poor family. Her parents died when she was a small child and the little girl was sent to live with her Uncle and Aunt Reed at Gateshead. Janes Uncle truly cared for her and showed his affection openly, but Mrs. Reed seemed to hate the orphan, and neglected her while she pampered and spoiled her own children. This unfair treatment emphasized Janes status as an unwanted outsider. She was often punished harshly. On one occasion her nasty cousin Jack picked a fight with her. Jane tried to defend herself and was locked in the terrifying "Red Room" as a result. Janes Uncle Reed had died in this room a little while before, and Mrs. Reed knew how frightened she was of the chamber. Since Jane is the narrator, the reader is given a first-hand impression of the childs feelings, her heightened emotional state at being imprisoned. Indeed, she seems almost like an hysterical child, filled with terror and rage. She repeatedly calls her condition in life "unjust" and is filled with bitterness. Looking into the mirror Jane sees a distorted image of herself. She views her reflection and sees a "strange little figure," or "tiny phantom." Jane has not learned yet to subordinate her passions to her reason. Her passions still erupt unchecked. Her isolation in the Red Room is a presentiment of her later isolation from almost every society and community. This powerful, beautifully written scene never fails to move me.

Mrs. Reed decided to send Jane away to the Lowood School, a poor institution run by Mr. Brocklehurst, who believed that suffering made grand people. All the children there were neglected, except to receive harsh punishment when any mistake was made. At Lowood, Jane met Helen Burns, a young woman a little older than Jane, who guided her with vision, light and love for the rest of her life. Janes need for love was so great. It really becomes obvious in this first friendship. Helen later died from fever, in Janes arms. Her illness and death could have been avoided if more attention had been paid to the youths. Jane stayed at Lowood for ten years, eight as a student and two as a teacher. Tired and depressed by her surroundings, Jane applied for the position of governess and found employment at Thornfield. The mansion is owned by a gentleman named Edward Fairfax Rochester. Her job there was to teach his ward, an adorable little French girl, Adele. Over a long period the moody, inscrutable Rochester confides in Jane and she in him. The two form an unlikely friendship and eventually fall in love. Again, Janes need for love comes to the fore, as does her passionate nature. She blooms. A dark, gothic figure, Rochester also has a heart filled with the hope of true love and future happiness with Jane. Ironically, he has brought all his misery, past and future, on himself.

All is not as it seems at Thornfield. There is a strange, ominous woman servant, Grace Poole, who lives and works in an attic room. She keeps to herself and is rarely seen. From the first, however, Jane has sensed bizarre happenings at night, when everyone is asleep .There are wild cries along with violent attempts on Rochesters life by a seemingly unknown person. Jane wonders why no one investigates Mrs. Poole. Then a strange man visits Thornfield and mysteriously disappears with Mr. Rochester. Late that night Jane is asked to sit with the man while the lord of the house seeks a doctors help. The man has been seriously wounded and is weak from loss of blood. He leaves by coach, in a sorry state, first thing in the morning. Janes questions are not answered directly. This visit will have dire consequences on all involved. An explosive secret revealed will destroy all the joyful plans that Jane and Rochester have made. Jane, once more will face poverty and isolation.

Charlotte Brontes heroine Jane Eyre, may not have been graced with beauty or money, but she had a spirit of fire and was filled with integrity and a sense of independence - character traits that never waned in spite of all the oppression she encountered in life. Ms. Bronte brings to the fore in "Jane Eyre" such issues as: the relations between men and women in the mid-19 century, womens equality, the treatment of children and of women, religious faith and hypocrisy (and the difference between the two), the realization of selfhood, and the nature of love and passion. This is a powerhouse of a novel filled with romance, mystery and passions. It is at once startlingly fresh and a portrait of the times. Ms. Bronte will make your heart beat faster, your pulse race and your eyes fill with tears.
