Hello everybody! I would like to share my expectations and revelations conserning our new book "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte. From the very beggining I knew that it is a wonderful book, a sad story with happy end. I've seen a movie based on this book, and I loved it. Now I would like to compare the book and the movie. For sure, there is a bit of discomparancy between them.
Firstly, I would like to describe the characters of the book. The main character is Jane Eyre, she's a ten-year-old girl. She's an orphan, a burden for her aunt. When Jane's parents died, she remained with her uncle and aunt. Jane's uncle Mr. Reed's last will was to take care about the child like it is his wife's own child. But Mrs. Reed doesn't realize this will, she punishes Jane with purpose and without it. Mrs. Reed has three own  children, whom she sencerely loves: Eliza, John and Geogiana. John Reed - a schoolboy of fourteen years old, large and fat, who eats too much and who lookes pale and ill, is very disobedient. He used to beat Jane, but his mother puts on a semblance that nothing strange happens. Eliza - Mrs. Reed daughter is selfish, Georgiana  is wicked. But everybody in the house say that it is Jane who has got all these flaws. Servants mention that Jane Eyre isn't equal of Mrs. Reed's children. Nobody understands Jane, a simple lovely child, who loves reading books, who does all possible in order to please her aunt and not to be punished. All the people see Jane as an unthankful monster, a deceitful thing.
One day a strange man with a great nose, a big mouth and large teeth comes Jane's "home" and he talks to little girl. After their conversation about death and Bible, Mrs. Reed and Mr. Brocklehurst decide to send Jane to Lowood. It is a kind of school, where girls are supposed to pray, to study, and they aren't aloowed to go home even for vacations.
Jane isn't sad, she's happy not to live with her severe aunt and her selfish children anymore.
I'm eager to know what will happen with Jane Eyre later. I promise I will post all that I read and I will share my impressions with you, my sead fellows and teacher.

Good LucK!!!
Hugs!

Good night, my dear fellows and my dearest teacher.
I'd like to share with you my imprassions about the book "Fahreinheit 451" by Rad Broadbury. 
Firstly, I would like to mention that I didn't like the book as much as I liked "Frankenstein". But, anyway I guess, it's the book that must be read. 
The world that is described here is strange, people don't speak to each other, they don't converse about anything important, they even don't remember when and where they have met for the first time. People are ignorant, they don't live, just survive, they're interested in nothing, they don't want to understand each other, to enjoy life, to love, to live, to be friends. 
It's peculiarly, isn't it?
But what about nowadays? Sometimes people don't want to understand the others, don't want to help people who need help, don't appreciate life, people don't live to live, to love, but to accumulate money. People waste their time. 
All the problems of our world are described in this book: people's ignorance, spire, sadness. 
But at the end of the book the war begins. I guess, the author sais: "Stop being ignorant, unthankful, evil. It can bring grave consequences."
The protagonist of the book understands that he can change the world. Montag founds people who are sure they can do it, can change people's understanding of life, view of life. Montag wants to understand how do people live, how do they think. The author sais that it's hidden not only in the books, that are forbidden, but in something else. That people must change for the better life. 

I thing the fact that we have to read and appreciate the books isn't the only message, which author wants to transmit. We have to appreciate each other, all that we have, to appreciate life, to enjoy life and to be grateful for all that we have!


Love!


Sincerely yours, Kate!
