Jane’sbright new life starts right now.Chapter12Summary:Jane met Mr. Rochester on her way to post a letter. Mr. Rochestersprained his ankle in the lane.Feelings: It ’sa pretty strange way to meet your employer the first time likethat.

Mr. Rochesterand Jane talked about Jane’searly experiences and Mr. Rochester called Janeas elf. Thus, Jane considered Mr. Rochester changeful and abrupt.Feelings: I kind of feel the same as Jane did. How could an almost strangersay such rude thing during our first chat? If I were Jane, I might be reallyangry.Chapter14Summary: One evening, Rochester sent for Jane and Adele after d inner. Suddenly, because she was staring at him, Rochester asked Jane if she thought he ’ s handsome. Without thinking, she g ave an honest answer: no.Rochester told her that he’ s feeling chatty tonight, and ordered Jane to chatwith him about something. While Jane and Rochester had been talking, Adelehad run out to try on one of the dresses that were among her new presentsfrom Rochester.

After hearing this, Janewas pretty sure that Mr. Rochester would not be with her no matter what, soshe became really sad.Feelings: I don ’tthink Mr. Rochester is that kind of guy who only cares aboutmoney and beauty to be honest. And if he has feelings for Jane, he maymarry her.Chapter17Summary:Everyone spends the three days making frantic preparations for allthe guests. When they rode up, some in carriages and some on horses, abeautiful woman in a purple dress was riding beside Rochester. It’ s Blanche Ingram!

Blanche and Rochester sang a song, and Jane wanted to leave, but she ’ s mesmerized by Rochester’ s voice. As soon as hed, finisheslipped out intothe hallway. Rochester came out after Jane and asked why she didn’ t comeand talk to him in the drawing room. He wanted her to come back, but hecould tell she’ s about to cry, so he let her go.Feelings: Now I am more than sure that Jane was in love with Mr. Rochester completely. It ’sobvious that Miss Blanche’sheart is not as beautiful as her appearance, so basically Mr. Rochester won’tchoose her over Jane.Chapter18Summary: With Rochester absent, a stranger arrived at Thornfield.The stranger, whose name was Mason, claimed to be an old friend of Mr. Rochester Later’s. that day, a strange gypsy woman arrived, offering to telltheir fortunes.

The servant, Sam, told Jane that the gypsy woman said she kne w there’ s another single woman in the group,and that she thought that must mean her. Jane’ s curious about the woman, soshe went to see her and had her own fortune told.Feelings: Though I wonder who Mason was,I m’more excited about the storybetween Jane and that“gypsy woman”.It could be really interesting!Chapter19Summary:Jane entered the library and saw the old gypsy woman reading aprayer-book by the fire. Her hat and handkerchief threw shadows over herface. The gypsy asked Jane about Mr. Rochester, and when she did n ’ t saymuch in response, the gypsy suggested that Mr. Rochester was in love with Blanche Ingram. Jane admitted that the rumor was that Rochester and Blanche were engaged, but corrected the woman on one thing—they werenot in love. In a moment, the woman’ s voicedchange—theold gypsy womanwas Mr. Rochester in disguise, and he’singjustwithbeenveryonemes. Shetold him about Mason’ s arrival, and he’ s so horrifiedouldnthat’ hetevenc stand up anymore. Then, Jane called Mason to meet Mr. Rochester in theroom.Feelings: From this chapter, I m’happy to see that Mr. Rochester loved Janetoo and he wanted to see if Jane had the same feelings as he did. From ourpoint of view, they both love each other more than anything. However, Mr.Rochester ’sbehavior shows that Mason ’ s presence means something terriblehas happened, or will happen.Chapter20Summary:Everyone in the house is woken up by all the noise. The guestsstumble around in the corridor in their robes, but nobody seems to knowwhat ’goings on. Jane gets dressed, then sits by the window waiting.

He sends Janeback to get a sponge and some salts.Rochester tells Jane to stay with Masonand to make sure he stays awake, but not to talk to him at all for any reason.He gives her the sponge, which is bloody now, so that she can tend to thewound a little, too. For a long time, Jane stays there, wiping blood, trying tokeep him conscious. Rochester says that he warned Mason, and Masonshould have listened. Mason says he thought he could have done somethingto make things better. While Mason is sent away, Rochester and Jane are leftalone together outside the house, and he asks her to walk with him in thewoods as the sun is rising before they go back to Thornfield Hall.Feelings: Mason is bitten by somebody! Who on earth he is? Why he comesto Thornfield? Who is the person that bites Mason? What’stheir relationshipwith Mr. Rochester? There are still lots of answers to be found.Chapter21Summary: One afternoon, Jane is visited by Mr. Reed He’tellscoachman.Jane that John Reed is dead and that Mrs. Reed had a stroke when she heard.Jane goes in to see Mrs. Reed, who is lying ill in bed.

Mrs. Reed lets Jane read the letter, in which John asked where Jane was so that he couldwrite a will making her the heir of his fortune when he died. Then Mrs. Reedadmits something else: she wrote to John Eyre and told him Jane died oftyphoid at Lowood.Feelings: Mrs. Reed ’sbehavior crossed the line. No matter what she has noright to conceal Jane’sletter from her uncle. She could treat Jane badly, butwhen somebody else wants to treat her like his own child, she just robbed her chance away? That ’snot what elder people should do to her child.Chapter22Summary: Jane goes back to Thornfield. During the next two weeks, it’s pretty quiet and seems like Mr. Rochester is busy preparing his wedding with Blanche Ingram.Feelings: Sometimes things are not like what it seems to be.I m’sure it is Jane who Mr. Rochester really loves and the bride is going to be Jane instead ofBlanche Ingram.Chapter23Summary:Rochester asks Jane to walk with him.

Rochester starts telling Jane about all the fancy jewelry and clotheshe ’ s going to give herShe. looks him in the eye, and tells him that, if he keepsdecking her out in expensive clothes and jewelry and behaving so badlyabout it, she’ ll never wear anything he buys her.Feelings: The dialogues between them are cute and full of sweetness. Theycould have a successful marriage.Chapter25Summary: The previous evening, Jane went to bed, but couldn’ t sleep. She thought she could hear a weird howling sound in the wind. When Jane wokeup, there was a burning candle on the table in her room. Then Jane noticedthat her closet door was open and someone was messing with her weddingdress and veil. Jane sat up in bed, shocked: the woman wasn’ t anyone she knew at Thornfield, but someone else, a stranger. The stranger was a tallwoman with long, dark hair dressed in white; her face was disturbing, withbloodshot red eyes, swollen, dark lips, and thick black eyebrows. The strangewoman was wearing Jane’ s wedding veil, and, as Jane watched, the womanpulled it off, tore it in half, and trampled on it. Jane asks Mr. Rochester whothe woman is. Rochester says that she imagined this nightmarish creature.Jane ’ s not really satisfied with this explanation, but she pretends to be tomake Rochester feel better.Feelings: It could be a nightmare even if in dreams, let alone it real happens.That strange woman might be somebody who has a special and interestingidentity.Chapter26Summary: It's the day of Jane and Rochester's wedding. It should be thehappiest day of Jane's life, but during the church ceremony two men show upclaiming that Rochester is already married.

He wants Jane to go and live with him inFrance, where they can pretend to be a married couple and act like husbandand wife. Jane refuses to be his next mistress and runs away before shetempted to agree.Feelings: What a mess! I bet that’snot what Mr. Rochester wants and also notwhat Jane wants. Actually, none of them did anything wrong, but life is life.Chapter27Summary:Jane stays in her room for most of the day with a debate raging inher head: does she really have to leave Thornfield? Rochester wants Jane togo with him to France and live with him in a villa there as his "virtual" wife. Heclaims that he’reallysnotmarried and that Jane would basically be his wife,not his mistress. Jane realizes that what matters most is her own respect forherself, and that it’ s even more important for her to cling to her principles at this difficult moment. Jane wakes up early and packs a few small things,leaving all the presents Rochester bought her.Feelings: God bless Jane! Hope she has made the right choice and will starta new life somewhere else.Chapter28Summary:Jane travels in a random direction away from Thornfield. Havingno money, she almost starves to death before being taken in by the Riversfamily, who live at Moor House near a town called Morton.Feelings:Jane is not that lucky, she never made it to live a happy life shewants. But she is lucky, too. She has got some warm-hearted people who arewilling to help when she is in danger. I don’tknow how to express that, butit ’ssad to know life isn’teasy at all.Chapter29Summary: The Rivers siblings — Diana, Mary, and St. John—are about Jane’ sage and well-educated, but somewhat poor. They take whole-heartedly toJane, who has taken the pseudonym "Jane Elliott" so that Mr. Rochester canfind her.Feelings: Jane has friends at her own age right now. They could get alongwith each other well.Chapter30Summary: Jane wants to earn her keep, so St. John arranges for her tobecome the teacher in a village girls St. John ’getschoolaletter. stating thatthe Rivers’ Uncle John is dead. Jane watches as all the members of the Riversfamily behave somewhat strangely about this—they’ re not exactly sad; she’ s not sure what they’ re feeling. St. John explains that their uncle had arguedwith their father long before, and that he had a fortune of twenty thousandpounds, but decided to leave all the money to another relative.Feelings: Well, Jane has an uncle whose name is John, and the Rivershappens to have an Uncle John too? That’sdefinitely not a coincidence. Thetruth is that the Rivers are actually Jane’scousin! She has her family right now!Chapter31Summary:Jane moves into her little cottage, which is simple but adequate. St.John tells her about his own experience—a year ago, he thought that hehated being a priest, but then he felt called by God to become a missionary.A young woman comes up and wishes St. John good evening. St. Johncompletely freaks out for a moment, but then calms himself down and turnsto talk to her. Jane notices how beautiful the woman is. It turns out that thisis Miss Rosamond Oliver, the daughter of the man who salary’.s paying Jane Miss Oliver says she’ ll come and helpt atJanethe ouschool sometimes. MissOliver tries to talk to St. John about normal things like a recent dance, but St.John is cold and disapproving.Feelings: I do think St. John is like that kind of crazy man who knows nothingbut hi work. He may do harm to Jane.Chapter32Summary:On a school holiday, Jane is sitting alone at home, finishing thepicture of Rosamond Oliver, when St. John drops by to bring her a new bookto read. When he sees the portrait, he becomes disturbed. Jane asks St. Johnabout the portrait for a bit, and eventually he admits that he knows itRosamond. She offers to make a copy for him—if he will admit that he wantsone. St. John admits that he wants a copy of the picture, but says that itwouldn’ t be good for him to have it.St. John pulls a piece of scrap paper overthe portrait so that he doesn’ t have to look at itandanymorethenhe sees—something on the paper that really surprises him. Jane can’ t figure o it is, but he tears off a piece and keeps it.Feelings: Clearly Rosamond Oliver and St. John love each other. So I think it’snot worthy of giving up their love and insisting on choosing a missionary’ swife.Chapter33Summary:St. John arrives, even though he had to struggle through the snow.He won ’ t tell her why he’ s there, and he’ s behaving really strangely. She st to worry that he might be a little bit insane. It comes out that Diana, Mary,and St. John are all Jane When’s cousins!Jane’ s Uncle Mr. Eyre diesnd aleaveshis fortune to Jane, she shares her inheritance with the other three.Feelings: Jane hadn ’thad the feeling of being with true families since she wassent to Gateshead Hall. I m’so happy for her that she finally finds a real homefor her.Chapter34Summary: St. John wants to be more than Jane’ s cousin. He admires Janework ethic and asks her to marry him, learn Hindustani, and go with him toIndia on a long-term missionary trip. Jane refuses because she knows shedoesn ’ t love St. JohnJane. offers to go to India with him, but just as his cousin......and co-worker, not as his wife. St. John won't give up and keeps pressuringJane to marry him.Feelings: I still can ’tunderstand St. John ’sinsane behavior. Things end up likenobody is happy.Chapter35Summary: Just as Jane’ abouts to give in, she supernaturally hears Mr.Rochester’ s voice calling her name from somewhere far away.Feelings: I know Jane is meant to be Mr. Rochester’swife. Even if they are so far away from each other, they can still hear the other’svoice through theirheart.Chapter36Summary:Jane arranges a journey back to Thornfield. Jane comes up towardThornfield walking along the wall of the orchard. She peeks out from arounda corner of the wall... and sees a complete ruin.It’burneds down, blackenedand collapsed. Shocked, Jane goes back to the inn and asks the host whathappened. From him she learns the whole story of what happened: Berthaburned down the house in the middle of the night by setting fire to whatused to be Jane s own’bed.Rochester saved the servants and then climbed up to a high wall where Bertha was standing to try to rescue her, but she jumped off and committed......suicide. Rochester was blinded and lost a hand when the wall collapsed. Janeasks where Rochester is now, and the innkeeper tells her that he’ s at his oth home, Ferndean. Jane arranges to go there in a chaise right away.Feelings: Oh! Mr. Rochester is disabled right now. I couldn’thelp thinking ifJane didn ’tleave Thornfield, Mr. Rochester won’tlose his sight and his hand,and they could have live a happy life right now. Is Jane’ s decision to leavewrong? It ’s not obviously. Maybe that ’s what life is like, full of strangecombinations of circumstances.Chapter37Summary:Jane goes to Ferndean to find Rochester. When she comes up tothe house, she sees him coming out and watches him for a long time withoutletting him know she ’theres. Jane offers to be Rochester’nurse or housekeeper, convinced that he will immediately ask her to marry him again,bu t he doesn ’Janet. insists that Rochester eat supper, which he usuallydoesn ’Int. the morning, Jane comes down to breakfast, and then takesRochester outside so they can stroll in the wood and meadows. They sit downin a dry place and Rochester asks Jane to tell him where she’ s been and what’happened to her. Rochester laments his blindness and lost hand, but asksJane to marry him anyway. She accepts gladly. Rochester also tells Jane that,four days before, between eleven and twelve at night, he called her namethree times frantically—and he heard her respond. He thinks that perhaps......they met in spirit.Jane doesn’ t tell Rochester that she heard him call hername and responded to him while she was sitting, miles away, with St. John.

They also have a son.Feelings: What can I say right now? I m’just honored to see such a romanticlife experience of Jane Eyre, who is that kind of women I admire.Question1Mr. Rochester asked Jane Eyre twice to marry him. (In Chapter23 and Chapter37) Jane agreed to both but the first time they didn’tget married successfully because Jane knew about Mr. Rochester had already been married during their wedding. I think the reason why Jane chose to marry toMr. Rochester even if he lost one of his hands and got blind was when shewas away from Mr. Rochester at the Moor House, she realized she really caredabout and was deeply in love with him. This time she chose to follow her......heart instead of others’words or judgments.

It’s Blanche Ingram!The visitors enter, and Jane sat with Ad ele, half-listening to their noise and trying to keep Ad el e from running d own and bothering them. Blanche and Rochester sang a song, and Jane wanted to l eave, but she’s mesmerized by Rochester’s voice. As soon as he finished, she slipped out into the hallway. Rochester came out after Jane and asked why she didn’t come and talk to him in the drawing room. He wanted her to come back, but he coul d tell she’s about to cry, so he let her go. Feelings:Now I am more than sure that Jane was in l ove with Mr. Rochestercompl etely. It’s obvious that Miss Blanche’s heart is not as beautiful as her appearance, so basically Mr. Rochester won’t choose her over Jane.Chapter18Summary: With Rochester absent, a stranger arrived at Thornfield. The stranger, whose name was Mason, claimed to be an ol d friend of Mr. Rochester’s. Later that day, a strange gypsy woman arrived, offering to tell their fortunes. Blanche Ingram went first. Everyone waited excitedly for her to come back and tell them what the woman said, but when she did come back she said the woman was obviously a fraud. The servant, Sam, tol d Jane that the gypsy woman said she kne w there’s another singl e woman in the group, and that she thought that must mean her. Jane’s curious about the woman, so she went to see her and had her own fortune tol d.Feelings:Though I wond er who Mason was, I’m more excited about the story between Jane and that “gypsy woman”. It coul d be really interesting!Chapter19Summary: Jane entered the library and saw the ol d gypsy woman reading a prayer-book by the fire. Her hat and handkerchief threw shad ows over her face. The gypsy asked Jane about Mr. Rochester, and when she did n’t say much in response, the gypsy suggested that Mr. Rochester was in l ove with Blanche Ingram. Jane admitted that the rumor was that Rochester and Blanche were engaged, but corrected the woman on one thing—they were not in l ove. In a moment, the woman’s voice change d—the old gypsy woman was Mr. Rochester in disguise, and he’s just been messing with everyone. She tol d him about Mason’s arrival, and he’s so horrified that he c oul dn’t even stand up anymore. Then, Jane call ed Mason to meet Mr. Rochester in the room.Feelings: From this chapter, I’m happy to see that Mr. Rochester l oved Jane too and he wanted to see if Jane had the same feelings as he did. From our point of view, they both l ove each other more than anything. However, Mr. Rochester’s behavior shows that Mason’s presence means something terribl e has happened, or will happen.Chapter20Summary: Everyone in the house is woken up by all the noise. The guests stumbl e around in the corrid or in their robes, but nobody seems to know what’s going on. Jane gets dressed, then sits by the wind ow waiting. Mr. Rochester knocks on her d oor and asks her to come with him. He sends Jane back to get a sponge and some salts.Rochester tells Jane to stay with Mason and to make sure he stays awake, but not to talk to him at all for any reason. He gives her the sponge, which is bl oody now, so that she can tend to the wound a little, too. For a l ong time, Janestays there, wiping bl ood, trying to keep him conscious. Rochester says that he warned Mason, and Mason shoul d have listened. Mason says he thought he coul d have d one something to make things better. While Mason is sent away, Rochester and Jane are l eft alone together outsid e the house, and he asks her to walk with him in the woods as the sun is rising before they go back to Thornfield Hall. Feelings: Mason is bitten by somebody! Who on earth he is? Why he comes to Thornfield? Who is the person that bites Mason? What’s their relationship with Mr. Rochester? There are still l ots of answers to be found.Chapter21Summary: One afternoon, Jane is visited by Mr. Reed’s coachman. He tells Jane that John Reed is d ead and that Mrs. Reed had a stroke when she heard. Jane goes in to see Mrs. Reed, who is lying ill in bed. Mrs. Reed is still harsh and bad-tempered, but she d oes want Jane to stay so that they can talk things over. As she’s dying, Mrs. Reed apol ogizes to Jane for concealing a l etter from Jane’s uncl e, John Eyre, which came three years ago. Mrs. Reed l ets Jane read the l etter, in which John asked where Jane was so that he coul d write a will making her the heir of his fortune when he died. Then Mrs. Reed admits something else: she wrote to John Eyre and tol d him Jane died of typhoid at Lowood.Feelings: Mrs. Reed’s behavior crossed the line. No matter what she has no right to conceal Jane’s l etter from her uncl e. She coul d treat Jane badly, but when somebody else wants to treat her like his own child, she just robbed her chance away? That’s not what el d er people shoul d d o to her child.Chapter22Summary: Jane goes back to Thornfield. During the next two weeks, it’s pretty quiet and seems like Mr. Rochester is busy preparing his wed ding with Blanche Ingram.Feelings: Sometimes things are not like what it seems to be. I’m sure it is Jane who Mr. Rochester really l oves and the brid e is going to be Jane instead of Blanche Ingram.Chapter23Summary: Rochester asks Jane to walk with him. Jane and Rochester sit on the bench und er the chestnut tree. Rochester asks her to marry him. And of course, Jane agrees.Feelings: Looks like what I guess finally comes true. But everything is just way too perfect…Chapter24Summary: The next morning, Jane is blissfully happy and wond ers if this is all a dream. Rochester starts telling Jane about all the fancy jewelry and cl othes he’s going to give her. She l ooks him in the eye, and tells him that, if he keeps d ecking her out in expensive cl othes and jewelry and behaving so badly about it, she’ll never wear anything he buys her.Feelings: The dial ogues between them are cute and full of sweetness. They coul d have a successful marriage.Chapter25Summary:The previous evening, Jane went to bed, but coul dn’t sl eep.She thought she coul d hear a weird howling sound in the wind. When Jane woke up, there was a burning candl e on the tabl e in her room. Then Jane noticed that her cl oset d oor was open and someone was messing with her wedding dress and veil. Jane sat up in b ed, shocked: the woman wasn’t anyone she knew at Thornfield, but someone else, a stranger. The stranger was a tall woman with l ong, dark hair dressed in white; her face was disturbing, with bl oodshot red eyes, swoll en, dark lips, and thick black eyebrows. T he strange woman was wearing Jane’s wed ding veil, and, as Jane watched, the woman pull ed it off, tore it in half, and trampl ed on it. Jane asks Mr. Rochester who the woman is. Rochester says that she imagined this nightmarish creature. Jane’s not really s atisfied with this explanation, but she pretends to be to make Rochester feel better.Feelings: It coul d be a nightmare even if in dreams, l et alone it real happens. That strange woman might be somebody who has a special and interesting id entity. Chapter26Summary: It's the day of Jane and Rochester's wed ding. It should be the happiest day of Jane's life, but during the church ceremony two men show up claiming that Rochester is already married. Mrs. Rochester is Bertha Mason, the "madwoman in the attic" who tried to burn Rochester to d eath in his bed, stabbed and bit her own brother, and who’s been d oing other creepy things at night. Rochester was tricked into marrying Bertha fifteen years ago in Jamaica. Rochester claims that he’s not really married becaus e his relationship with Bertha isn’t a real marriage. He wants Jane to go and live with him in France, where they can pretend to be a married coupl e and act like husband and wife. Jane refuses to be his next mistress and runs away before she’s tempted to a gree.Feelings: What a mess! I bet that’s not what Mr. Rochester wants and also not what Jane wants. Actually, none of them did anything wrong, but life is life. Chapter27Summary: Jane stays in her room for most of the day with a d ebate raging in her head: d oes she really have to l eave Thornfield? Rochester wants Jane to go withhim to France and live with him in a villa there as his "virtual" wife. He claims that he’s not really married and that Jane woul d basically be his wife, not his mistress. Jane re alizes that what matters most is her own respect for herself, and that it’s even more important for her to cling to her principl es at this difficult moment. Jane wakes up early and packs a few small things, l eaving all the presents Rochester bought her.Feelings: God bl ess Jane! Hope she has mad e the right choice and will start a new life somewhere else.Chapter28Summary: Jane travels in a rand om direction away from Thornfiel d. Having no money, she almost starves to d eath before being taken in by the Rivers family, who live at Moor House near a town called Morton.Feelings: Jane is not that lucky, she never made it to live a happy life she wants. But she is lucky, too. She has got some warm-hearted peopl e who are willing to help when she is in danger. I d on’t know how to express that, but it’s sad to know life isn’t easy at all.Chapter29Summary: The Rivers siblings—Diana, Mary, and St. John—are about Jane’s age and well-educated, but somewhat poor. They take whol e-heartedly to Jane, who has taken the pse ud onym "Jane Elliott" so that Mr. Rochester can’t find her. Feelings: Jane has friends at her own age right now. They coul d get along with each other well.Chapter30Summary: Jane wants to earn her keep, so St. John arranges for her to become the teacher in a village girls’ school.St. John gets a l etter stating that the Rivers’ Uncle John is d ead. Jane watches as all the members of the Rivers family behave somewhat strangely about this—they’re not exactly sad; she’s not sure what they’re feeling. St. John explains that their uncl e had argued with their father l ong before, and that he had a fortune of twenty thousand pounds, but d ecided to l eave all the money to another relative.Feelings: Well, Jane has an uncl e whose name is John, and the Rivers happens to have an Uncle John too? That’s d efinitely not a coincid ence. The truth is that the Rivers are actually Jane’s cousin! She has her family right now!Chapter31Summary:Jane moves into her little cottage, which is simpl e but adequate. St. John tells her about his own experience—a year ago, he thought that he hatedbeing a priest, but then he felt call ed by God to become a missionary. A young woman comes up and wishes St. John good evening. St. John completely freaks out for a moment, but then calms himself d own and turns to talk to her. Jane notices how beautiful the woman is. It turns out that this is Miss Rosamond Oliver, the daughter of the man who’s paying Jane’s salary. Miss Oliver says she’ll come and help Jane out at the school sometimes. Miss Oliver tries to talk to St. John about normal things like a recent dance, but St. John is col d and disapproving. Feelings: I d o think St. John is like that kind of crazy man who knows nothing but hi work. He may d o harm to Jane.Chapter32Summary: On a school holiday, Jane is sitting alone at home, finishing the picture of Rosamond Oliver, when St. John drops by to bring her a new book to read. When he sees the portrait, he becomes disturbed. Jane asks St. John about the portrait for a bit, and eventually he adm its that he knows it’s of Rosamond. She offers to make a copy for him—if he will admit that he wants one. St. John admits that he wants a copy of the picture, but says that it woul dn’t be good for him to have it. St. John pulls a piece of scrap paper over the portrait so that he d oesn’t have to l ook at it anymore—and then he sees something on the paper that really surprises him. Jane can’t figure out what it is, but he tears off a piece and keeps it. Feelings: Cl early Rosamond Oliver and St. John l ove each other. So I think it’s not worthy of giving up their l ove and insisting on choosing a missionary’s wife. Chapter33Summary: St. John arrives, even though he had to struggl e through the snow. He won’t tell her why he’s there, and he’s behaving really stran gely. She starts to worry that he might be a little bit insane. It comes out that Diana, Mary, and St. John are all Jane’s cousins!When Jane’s Uncle Mr. Eyre dies and l eaves his fortune to Jane, she shares her inheritance with the other three.Feelings: Jane hadn’t had the feeling of being with true families since she was sent to Gateshead Hall. I’m so happy for her that she finally finds a real home for her.Chapter34Summary: St. John wants to be more than Jane’s cousin. He admires Jane’s work ethic and asks her to marry him, l earn Hindustani, and go with him to India on a l ong-term missionary trip. Jane refuses because she knows she d oesn’t l ove St. John. Jane offers to go to India with him, but just as his cousin and co-worker, not as his wife. St. John won't give up and keeps pressuring Jane to marry him. Feelings:I still can’t und erstand St. John’s insane behavior. Things end up like nobody is happy.Chapter35Summary:Just as Jane’s about to give in, she supernaturally hears Mr. Rochester’s voice c alling her name from somewhere far away.Feelings: I know Jane is meant to be Mr. Rochester’s wife. Even if they are so far away from each other, they can still hear the other’s voice through their heart. Chapter36Summary: Jane arranges a journey back to Thornfield. Jane comes up toward Thornfield walking along the wall of the orchard. She peeks out from around a corner of the wall... and sees a compl ete ruin. It’s burned d own, blackened and collapsed. Shocked, Jane goes back to the inn and asks the host what happened. From him she l earns the whol e story of what happened: Bertha burned d own the house in the mid dl e of the night by setting fire to what used to be Jane’s own bed. Rochester saved the servants and then climbed up to a high wall where Bertha was standing to try to rescue her, but she jumped off and committed suicid e. Rochester was blind ed and l ost a hand when the wall collapsed. Jane asks where Rochester is now, and the innkeeper tells her that he’s at his other home, Fernd ean. Jane arranges to go there in a chaise right away.Feelings: Oh! Mr. Rochester is disabl ed right now. I coul dn’t help thinking if Jane didn’t l eave Thornfield, Mr. Rochester won’t l ose his sight and his hand, and they coul d have live a happy life right now. Is Jane’s d ecisio n to l eave wrong? It’s not obviously. Maybe that’s what life is like, full of strange combinations of circumstances.Chapter37Summary: Jane goes to Fernd ean to find Rochester. When she comes up to the house, she sees him coming out and watches him for a l ong time without l etting him know she’s there.Jane offers to be Rochester’s nurse or housekeeper, convinced that he will immediately ask her to m arry him again, but he d oesn’t. Jane insists that Rochester eat supper, which he usually doesn’t. In the morn ing, Jane comes d own to breakfast, and then takes Rochester outsid e so they can stroll in the wood and mead ows. They sit d own in a dry place and Rochester asks Jane to tell him where she’s been and what’s happened to her. Rochester laments his blindness and l ost hand, but asks Jane to marry him anyway. She accepts gladly. Rochester also tells Jane that, four days before, between eleven and twelve at night, he call ed her name three times frantically—and he heard her respond. He thinks that perhaps they met in spirit. Jane d oesn’t tell Rochester that she heard him call her name and respond ed to him whil e she was sitting, mil es away, with St. John. Feelings: Just like “No matter the ending is perfect or not, you cannot disappear from my worl d.”Even though Mr. Rochester l oses something, he gains l ove andthat’s the most important thing for him. The story finally comes d own to this point and I just wish they can be happy together..Chapter38Summary: They have a quiet wed ding, and after two years of marriage Rochester gradually gets his sight back. They also have a son.Feelings: What can I say right now?

(In Chapter23 and Chapter37) Jane agreed to both but the first time they didn’t get married successfully because Jane knew about Mr. Rochester had already been married during their wed ding. I think the reason why Jane chose to marry to Mr. Rochester even if he l ost one of his hands and got blind was when she was away from Mr. Rochester at the Moor House, she realized she really cared about and was d eeply in l ove with him. This time she chose to foll ow her heart instead of others’ words or judgments.

Dewey 英文小说阅读章节概括(前十七章)
Dewey（小猫杜威）英文小说阅读概括（前17章）Summary of the novelChapter 1 The Coldest MorningOn January 18, 1988, the coldest morning of the year, Vicki Myron and her colleague Jean firstly heard a noise and then found a new born kitten in the drop box of the library. The kitten was so cold that there was no warmth at all, and he was so weak that he can hardly stand on himself. No one knew how he got into the box. They rescued him and took a warm water bath for him. After the bath, a beautiful, long-haired orange baby presented before their eyes.The poor little kitten attracted the librarians’ care. The little kitten seemed to be thankful to everyone he met for saving his life. Vicki wanted to adopt him.Chapter 2 A Perfect AdditionThe staff of the library showed love and interest to the kitten. Everyone wanted to pet him, and he never fear the strangers. The kitten was happy that first day. Doris Armstrong, the grandparent on the staff, brought a pink blanket for the kitten next morning.Dewey began to meet someone outside the staff of the library. If the staff wanted to keep the kitten, he must be admitted by the people in Spencer. Vicki first called the mayor, but he seemed not be enthusiastic. Then she took him to see Mary Houston, the historian of Spenser. Mary love the kitten very much and thought it was a good idea to have a kitten in the library. Dewey became famous in Spencer gradually. But some mothers were afraid that their children would be allergic to the cat. Vicki solicited the advice of two general practice doctors. They assured that it was safe to have Dewey. Many children loved Dewey and Dewey loved children, too. The library became Dewey’s home.Chapter 3 Dewey Readmore BooksThe staff saved Dewey, and Dewey saved the people in Spencer, too. In the 1980s, a farm crisis broke out in Spencer. It was primarily a financial disaster. It caused the price of land began to drop and credit dried up. The farmers in Spencer had to sell their lands and go out to find jobs. The town was dying. ―One of the worst things about bad times is the effect on your mind‖(Page 25), but Dewey’s coming changed it. His story resonated with the people. He believed everything would go to be fine. Dewey made the old patrons think that they came to the library not only to kill time. He sent happy to the people there.The staff set up a Name the Kitty contest. The kitten received names like Garfield, Tiger, and Fleabag and so on. But the most entries were for Dewey. At last, the kitten’s name is Dewey Readmore books.Chapter 4 A Day in the LibraryWhen Vicki arrived at library every morning, Dewey was waiting for her at thefront door. Dewey had an amazing sense of who needed him. He was interested in everything.In the library, it was easy for Dewey to find a public place to have a quick nap. A lap, a box and even the back of a copier. The staff set a Dewey Box in the back room to save money for Dewey and sell soda cans. In return for their a little contribution, they get endless happiness from Dewey. Before Dewey’s coming, the staff had become splintered. But once the little kitten arrived, the tension disappeared. Sometimes, Dewey would play jokes on them.Vicky took Dewey to Dr. Easterly’s office. Dr. Easterly was a vet. He neutered Dewey though Vicki was heart-broken. Vicki and Dewey’s relationship was not only friends, just like mom and son. Dewey loved everyone, but he loved Vicki deeper.Chapter 5 Catnip and Rubber bandsThough Dewey was beautiful and trusting, but not everything was perfect with him. He may work all night to go into the closet to sleep on a puppet. He loved catnip most, the smell would make him crazy. Another thing he was most interested in was rubber band. His nose could smell them across the library and easily find them. Though the staff didn’t give Dewey rubber bands, he could steal by himself. They have to make sure everyone’s drawer was completely closed. They clean all the places where rubber bands probably existed, and at last people could hardly find a rubber band in the library. ―He was far more intent on eating rubber bands than we were on stopping him.‖(Page 46)Anyway, Dewey’s true love was people. The library was small for human, but it means the whole world full of many interested things to Dewey.Chapter 6 MonetaVicki’s great-grandfather Norman Jipson amassed enough land to his children. Her family lived on this land and run a big farm when she was young. Not far away from her father’s farm was the Roof Garden, the most popular place in Iowa in the 1940s. There her father met her mother. Her mother’s family was Catholic, but she run away and married Vicki’s father. The couple had six children. Vicki’s childhood was difficult but full of funny. She and her sisters and brothers played baseball with other children. The farm was empty and lonely at night, but everyone in the family had each other.Two miles from their eastern field was the town Moneta. Vicki once received education in the Moneta School. In the 1950s, the school was the proud of the people in Moneta, but it was shuttered in 1959. Two years after that, her father sold out the land and started selling insurance. Moneta was getting worse and worse. Vicki never found her home and her childhood memory again.Chapter 7 Grand AvenueIn the 1850s, Spencer was a town which could found on map—there was no resident at all. Later, some people decided to stay. Spencer incorporated in 1871. When the first generation grew too old to farm, they moved to Spencer. It wasn’t a industrial town but an agriculture town. On June 27, 1931, it was hot that day. An eight-year-old boy set a fire accidentally. The fire caused more than half of the businesses in the town were destroyed. The people didn’t claim the boy; on thecontrary, they kept the boy’s name a secret. They united together and rebuilt Spencer. In the late 1980s, people in Spencer once again pulled together in the farm crisis, and then the library was built then.When Vicki first arrived at the library, she wanted to remodel it. On the very beginning, the city council didn’t want to give money to her. But Dewey made a change. He made more and more people visit the library. Even better, they were talking about Dewey. Finally, the city council agreed to support Vicki.Chapter 8 A Cat’s Best FriendsDewey was so lovely and kind to people that almost everyone believed that himself or herself was the only best friend of Dewey. If Dewey appeared in the Story Hour, children could hardly calm down. But there was only person Dewey couldn’t win over. The girl was afraid of four-legged animals. So every time the girl came to the library, Vicki locked Dewey in her office though he was reluctant.Then it came to Dewey’s first birthday. The staff inferred the date was November 18.th by the date they found him. It was unbelievable that people in Spencer were sending cards to a cat! On the birthday party, Dewey received a cake made of cat-food. Children and adults smiled and giggled.Dewey loved everyone equally. But he had special relationship and it was with Crystal, who was easy to be neglected. She was a beautiful girl of about 11; however, she had little speech and controlled her limbs well. But when Dewey came to her, she would squeal happily, and her smile was the brightest one in the world. Dewey helped Crystal feel happiness in her difficult life.Chapter 9 Dewey and JodiVicky was a single mother who had a daughter Jodi. They were inseparable when Jodi was young. But when Jodi was 13 years old, after moving to Spencer, Jodi didn’t allowed her mother kiss her goodnight. Vicki was heartbroken. In addition, when their loving dog, Brandy, was dead, Vicki did n’t told Jodi. Because she didn’t want Jodi see how much she was hurt. But in Jodi’s eyes, her mother ―was the woman who killed her dog and didn’t even care‖. Before Dewey arrived when Jodi was 16, they had little to talk about. Vicki felt that they were living separate lives.With Dewey, Vicki had something to talk about that Jodi would like to hear. Dewey was the only thing that could make their relationship lighthearted and playful. Meanwhile, Dewey loved Jodi crazily. On holidays when the library was closed, Vicki brought Dewey home. When Jodi came back home, he jumped right up and rushed to her. Wherever Jodi went, he followed. It didn’t matter where she sit on, he jumped on her laps and purred.Vicki and her daughter weren’t the only ones he helped. To some parents who worked long days, they had little time to take care their children. But Dewey filled the blank hours to some extent.Chapter 10 A Long W ay from HomeAfter Vicki’s graduation from high school, she got engaged to the third boy she had dated. But Vicki wanted to leave the small town, so she broke off the engagement. Then she moved to Mankato with her friend Sharon and they worked at Mankato Box Company. There Vicki met Wally Myron at a dance club. Wally was the person wholiked smiling and talking. They got married in July 1970 and Vicki got pregnant right away. But when she went to labor, the doctor used two doses of Pitocin in order to speed the process, which caused negative after-effects. Her doctor suggested exploratory surgery. In the operation, her ovaries and uterus were taken away. It meant that she couldn’t have children any more. Everything in Vicki’s world went black.From then on, Wally was addicted to alcohol. Everything had no sense for him except drinking. He promised many times that he would quit, and of course, nobody believed. On the contrary, Vicki’s family and friends helped a lot, especially when she needed help. Though she got help from many people, Vicki and her daughter’s life went into a difficult position. Eventually, Vicki couldn’t bare the life and divorced with Wally. With the help of welfare council, Vicki completed her college, becoming the first Jipson to earn a college diploma from a four-year college.Chapter 11 Hide-and-SeekAfter graduation, Vicky took the interview of the Spencer Public Library and she was admitted. Within months, she started new programs to develop the library. In 1987, she became the new director of the library. To improve she was the best person for the position, she joined The American Library Association-accredited long-distance master’s program. At the same time she threw herself into the remodeling of the library. She has to plan, research, and budget and so on. All of which meant, Vicky had little time with Jodi. Once Jodi had a party for her friends in her house, and all the things became a wreck. The mess didn’t bothered Vicky, but the relationship with Jodi made she couldn’t whip more work.A library after closing was a lonely place. Vicky had to stay late in the library because of her work. Then Dewey would play hide-and –seek with Vicky. With the company of Dewey, she never felt lonely. Whatever she needed, Dewey’gave her, without thought, without wanting something in return.Chapter 12 ChristmasChristmas was a holiday in Spencer celebrated together. After a stressful fall, Vicki was happy to stop thinking about school and remodeling, and for a change focusing on decorating —for the Christmas. When the staff pulled the plastic Christmas tree, Dewey became interested in it. He loved the tree very much. Dewey watched them assembling the tree and chewed the branches though he couldn’t eat them. Everyone thought Dewey found a new best friend. That year Dewey received enormous stack of gifts from the grateful patrons. But his favorite toy was a red yarn.The library was closed for a few days in Christmas. Dewey came home with Vicki. But he spent most of the time alone because Vicki and Jodi had to go back to Hartley. After Mid-night Mass on Christmas Eve, Vicki and Jodi headed home for Dewey, who as always was eager to see them.Chapter 13 A Great LibraryThe Spencer Public Library was founded in 1883 in Mrs. H. C. Crary’s parlor. In 1902, Andrew Carnegie granted the town $10,000 for a new library. The library opened on March 6, 1905. It was typical of Carnegie libraries. The ceiling was high and the windows enormous. The floorboards creaked when you walked on them. Itwas as quiet as a church. But a growing town, the library was beautiful but small. In 1971 the town tore the old building down to build a bigger, more modern, more efficient library. But the new building wasn’t right for a town like Spenser. Fewer people came to the library. So the staff decided to remodel it. While painting the bare concrete walls, the painter, Tony, became friends with Dewey. Dewey loved to climb to the top wall shelves and being up on the lights, which often made children begged him to come down.Between 1987 and 1989, visits to the library increased from 63,000 a year to more than 100,000. Of course the remodeling helped, but most of the change, most what brought the new people was Dewey.Chapter 14 Dewey’s Great EscapeBetween the two sets of the doors of the library was a tiny glass lobby to help keep out the cold in winter. Dewey spent enough time in the lobby. He was curious about the outside world. So one day Dewey escaped from the library. Next morning Dewey didn’t come to eat his morning meal. Vicki searched the whole library for Dewey, and that night, she drove around for half an hour instead of heading home, but nothing happened, also the staff. Some patrons knew something was wrong, and they also helped to find Dewey.Three days later, Jean Hollis Clark found Dewey under a car on Grand Avenue and brought him back to the library. The staff gave him food to eat. Vicki gave Dewey a bath and Dewey tolerated for the first time. Dewey had a tear in one ear and a scratch on his nose. Y ears later, Vicki made it a habit to open a side door during library broad meetings, but Dewey never going out anywhere for the next sixteen years.Chapter 15 Spencer’s Favorite CatAbout two months after Dewey’s escape, Vicki took his for his first official photograph. Dewey was nervous there, but he was more a fast learner. With the encouragement of Vicki, Dewey jumped onto the chair and let the photographer took six photos. In the photograph on the cover of the book, Dewey was beautiful, relaxed, and he was no fear of the camera.The local Shopko was holding a pet photo contest to raise money for charity. Vicki entered Dewey in the contest. The town voted and Dewey won more than percent of the votes. Maybe he won by his beautiful photograph, or his good look, or his personality and so on. But the most important was the town adopted him. He made a difference in the way the town thought about itself absolutely.Chapter 16 Iowa’s Famous Library CatDewey’s escape was a turning point and after that he became famous. He appeared frequently in the newspapers of the town nearby. And Des Moines Register, which was the daily newspaper in the state capital, let more than 500,000 people read Dewey’s story. Then Dewey began to make his regular appearance on the local television newscasts or nearby cities and states, and most of those programs were same –the story of a poor kitty. But his appearance on Living in Iowa was typical. The host loved him very much.Because of Dewey, Vicki became very active in state library circles.

His friends were proud of him. More than that, there were eleven different people came up to Vicki and swore on their mothers’ grave that they had shoved Dewey down the drop box!Chapter 17 Dewey in the Modern W orldIn 1994, the Spencer library entered the modern era. People began to use the library differently. The card catalog cabinets were sold at auction. One public-accessed computer would replace them all. A librarian clerk’s job used to involve filing and answering reference questions. Now it’s understanding computers and inputting data. The library had books which had survived World War Ⅱ, the Hundred Y ear’s War, the Black Death and even earlier. The technology supplied convenient service to readers, and the visits to the library kept rising.Dewey didn’t care about any of that. He liked sitting on the computers and bask in the heat.。

远大前程黑布林英语阅读每章总结
远大前程黑布林英语阅读每章总结Thoughts on Great ExpectationsDuring the last month, I have been reading the novel named Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. I set up my mind to finish reading it for the simple reason that I have read the Chinese version of this great novel and I was deeply attracted by the story.The main character in this novel is Pip and the whole story goes like this: Pip was a orphan and was brought up by his sister “by hand”. His sister Mrs. Joe was very strict with him while his brother-in-law treat him kindly. As a result, the two developed a intimate relationship. Since Pip was asked to visit Miss Havishams’s house, his mind and his fate began to change. In Miss Havishams’s home, Pip saw her adopted daughter Estella and fell in love with her at the first sight. Then he was determined to be well-educated and become a gentleman in order to deserve the beautiful girl Estella. And much to his delight, he was given a large sum of money and an opportunity to study abroad by an anonymous person. After a period of time, his great expectations came true and he became a gentleman at last. However, he found out that the money was offered by the criminal he had saved when he was young.He felt ashamed and didn’t want to use the money any more.What’s worse, the criminal Magwitch escaped from prison to visit Pip and was noticed by the police. At last, Magwitch was sentenced to death and Pip led a normal life. The beautiful lady became a widow as her husband died. But Pip still loved her and promised to be friends with her all the same. This ending is a bit reaasuring.Among those several characters in the novel, my favourite is Magwitch. He was homeless and poor when he was young and he used to be put into prison several times. No one cared about him, so when little Pip saved him by giving him some food, he felt m oved. And he bore Pip’s help in his mind. When he was exiled overseas, he was determined to make a lot of money and help Pip become a gentleman. He worked hard and saved every coin he could, and then sent it to Pip. He did all of these secretly in order to prevent little Pip from being embarrassed. After Pip became a real gentleman, Magwitch returned to England in secret only to see whether Pip had led a good life. What we can find from him is deep love for Pip. Although the society has deserted him, he is not deserted by himself. Different from Miss Havishams who is black-hearted, Magwitch is like a father. He showed his love to Pip without any hesitation. He was just like Pip’s father. This is why I admire him very much.Then when I look back into our society, I find that some parents are not as good as the criminal Magwitch.Cases are that parents push their children to work hard in order to be admitted into the college where they were eager to go when they were young. This usually leads to two consequences. One is that the children are exerted too much pressure and they go to extremes. The other is that their children do as they are told to and don’t have their independent thinking. They lack the comprehensive abilities to cope with fierce competition in t oday’s society. In other words, they are likely to survive in this competitive world.God is equal to everyone. When Magwitch knew that Estella was his daughter and had been loved by Pip, he felt relieved.I am also relieved because one good turn deserves another.。

英语名著阅读知识点总结
英语名著阅读知识点总结1. Historical ContextUnderstanding the historical context in which a classic English novel was written is crucial to fully appreciate the book. Many classic novels are set in a specific time period and place, and they often reflect the social, political, and cultural conditions of the time. For example, reading Charles Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities" requires knowledge of the French Revolution and its impact on Europe. Similarly, Jane Austen's novels are set in Regency England, and understanding the social customs and class structure of the time is essential to understanding the characters and plot.2. ThemesClassic English literature often explores universal themes that are relevant across time and cultures. For example, "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen explores the themes of love, class, and marriage, while "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens delves into themes of ambition, social status, and morality. By paying attention to the themes of a classic novel, readers can gain insight into the human condition and the enduring relevance of the work.3. CharactersClassic English literature is known for its memorable and often complex characters. Understanding the motivations, relationships, and development of these characters is key to understanding the novel as a whole. For example, the character of Heathcliff in Emily Brontë's "Wuthering Heights" is central to the novel's exploration of love, revenge, and the human psyche. Analyzing the characters in a classic novel can provide valuable insights into human nature and the author's perspective on the world.4. Writing StyleClassic English literature is also known for its distinctive writing style, which often reflects the time period and literary movements of the author. For example, the gothic elements in Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" reflect the Romantic era in which it was written, while the social satire and irony in Jane Austen's novels reflect the style of the Regency period. Paying attention to the writing style of a classic novel can deepen the reader's appreciation of the author's craftsmanship and literary influences.5. Symbolism and ImageryMany classic English novels are rich in symbolism and imagery, which can add depth and layers of meaning to the text. For example, the use of the weather and natural elements in Emily Brontë's "Wuthering Heights" mirrors the tumultuous emotions and relationships of the characters. Similarly, the use of the "green light" in F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" symbolizes the American Dream and the pursuit of an unattainable ideal. Byanalyzing the symbolism and imagery in a classic novel, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the themes and motifs of the work.In conclusion, reading classic English literature can provide readers with a wealth of knowledge about history, society, and the human experience. By paying attention to the historical context, themes, characters, writing style, and symbolism in a classic novel, readers can gain a deeper appreciation of the work and its enduring relevance. Whether it's a novel by Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Emily Brontë, or F. Scott Fitzgerald, classic English literature has much to offer in terms of insight, inspiration, and cultural significance.。

3.The Romantic Movement, whether in England, Germany or France, expressed a more or less negative forward the existing social.浪漫主义运动,无论是在英国,德国还是法国,都表现相互对工业革命时期现存的社会经济制度及城市资产阶级的上升的否定态度。
4. The Romantics demonstrated a strong reaction against the dominant modes of thinking of the 18th-century writers and philosophers. Where their predecessors saw man as a social animal, the Romantics saw him essentially as an individual in the solitary state.文学家摒弃了18 世纪盛行的文学及哲学基调---理性,古典主义文学家认为人是社会性的动物,浪漫主义文学家认为人应该是独立自由的个体.5.

英语小说选读主题总结
Early autumn1.冲动是魔鬼。
玛丽的冲动导致了她不幸的婚姻。
首先从―她太老了‖可以看出来，她的生活并不幸福。
尽管她有一份不错的工作和收入（从―我在哥伦比亚的一家财务办公室工作。
‖可以看出来。
）其次，她和比尔的分手源于一件微不足道的小事，年轻人爱赌气，但是千万不可随便赌上一生的幸福啊！2.年龄的差距可能导致情感分歧。
玛丽和比尔可能年龄相差比较大。
从―现在她不再年轻了，但是比尔依旧年轻。
‖可以看出。
3.女性的自尊很强，但是通常男人了解不到。
从―‗我现在居住在纽约，‘她说道。
‖和―我在哥伦比亚的一家财务办公室工作。
‖可以看出她强调自己过得很好，要知道，在美国能住在纽约是一件很不容易的事，而且她还在财务办公室工作，收入一定也不错。
并且，他对比尔宣称的自己―我现在当律师，在NICE公司，位于市中心。
‖不甘示弱，因为NICE公司是一家非常出名的公司。
4.曾经的感情越是甜蜜结果越可能不会有圆满的结局。
分析一下他们俩那段曾经的感情，也是很幸福的，文章开始就说了―数不清的夜晚，他和她一起散步、聊天。
‖还有他们刚刚见面时，玛丽的不经意的一个动作―玛丽毫无意识地将头抬起，仿佛等待着一个吻‖说明以前他们见面时，这是他们经常的动作。
可是两人还是以分手告终。
5.女人对于曾经的感情常常难以释怀，而男人却似乎很容易将其忘记。
玛丽一直都爱着比尔，但是比尔已经将他们之间曾经的那段感情忘却了。
从―许多年后，当她步行经过华盛顿广场的时候，第一眼便认出了他。
‖和―但是他第一眼却没有认出她，对他来说，她太老了。
‖两句可以看出。
还有他们多年后的初次见面的问题，玛丽问―我总是在想你发生了什么，比尔。
‖而比尔却是问―你的丈夫呢？‖还有他们见面是的玛丽那个不经意的动作―玛丽毫无意识地将头抬起，仿佛等待着一个吻，而他却伸出了手，她握住了它。
‖可是比尔用握手这个普通的、有礼貌的方式来对待玛丽。
接着，两个人的互相邀请也大有不同。
玛丽是―我现在住在中心公园西部，‖她说道―有空儿来找我啊。

colleague Jean firstly heard a noise and then found a new born kitten in the drop box of the library.The kitten was so cold that there was no warmth at all, and he was so weak that he can hardly stand on himself.No one knew how he got into the box.They rescued him and took a warm water bath for him.After the bath, a beautiful, long-haired orange baby presented before their eyes.The poor little kitten attracted the librarians’ care.The little kitten seemed to be thankful to everyone he met for saving his life.Vicki wanted to adopt him.Chapter 2A Perfect AdditionThe staff of the library

that it was safe to have Dewey.Many children loved Dewey and Dewey loved children, too.The library became Dewey’s home.Chapter 3Dewey Re admore BooksThe staff saved Dewey, and Dewey saved the people in Spencer, too.In the 1980s, a farm crisis broke out in Spencer.It was primarily a financial disaster.It caused the price of land began to drop and credit dried up.The farmers in Spencer had to sell their lands and go out to find jobs.The town was dying.―One of the worst things about bad times is the effect on your mind‖(Page 25), but Dewey’s coming changed it.His story resonated with the people.He believed everything would go to be fine.Dewey made the old patrons think that they came to the library not only to kill time.He sent happy to the people there.The staff set up a Name the Kitty contest.The kitten received names like Garfield, Tiger, and Fleabag and so on.But the most entries were for D ewey.At last, the kitten’s name is Dewey Readmore books.Chapter 4A Day in the LibraryWhen Vicki arrived at library every morning, Dewey was waiting for her at thefront door.Dewey had an amazing sense of who needed him.He was interested ineverything.In the library, it was easy for Dewey to find a public place to have a quick nap.Alap, a box and even the back of a copier.The staff set a Dewey Box in the back roomto save money for Dewey and sell soda cans.In return for their a little contribution,they get endless happiness from Dewey.Before Dewey’s coming, the staff hadbecome splintered.But once the little kitten arrived, thetension disappeared.Sometimes, Dewey would play jokes on them.Vicky took Dewey to Dr.Easterly’s office.Dr.Easterly was a vet.He neuteredDewey though Vicki was heart-broken.Vicki and Dewey’s relationship was not onlyfriends, just like mom and son.Dewey loved everyone, but he loved Vicki deeper.Chapter 5Catnip and Rubber bands Though Dewey was beautiful and trusting, but not everything was perfect with him.He may work all night to go into the closet to sleep on a puppet.He loved catnip most,the smell would make him crazy.Another thing he was most interested in was rubberband.His nose could smell them across the library and easily find them.Though thestaff didn’t give Dewey rubber bands, he could steal by himself.They have to makesure everyone’s drawer was completely closed.They clean all the places where rubberbands probably existed, and at last people could hardly find a rubber band in thelibrary.―He was far more intent on eating rubber bands than we were on stoppinghim.‖(Page 46)Anyway, Dewey’s true love was people.The library was small for human, but itmeans the whole world full of many interested things to Dewey.Chapter 6MonetaVicki’s great-grandfather Norman Jipson amassed enough land to his children.Herfamily

family was Catholic, but she run awayand married Vicki’s father.The couple had six children.Vicki’s childhood wasdifficult but full of funny.She and her sisters and brothers played baseball with otherchildren.The farm was empty and lonely at night, but everyone in the family had eachother.Two miles from their eastern field was the town Moneta.Vicki once receivededucation in the Moneta School.In the 1950s, the school was the proud of the peoplein Moneta, but it was shuttered in 1959.Two years after that, her father sold out theland and started selling insurance.Moneta was getting worse and worse.Vicki neverfound her home and her childhood memory again.Chapter 7Grand AvenueIn the 1850s, Spencer was a town which could found on map—there was noresident at ter, some people decided to stay.Spencer incorporated in 1871.When the first generation grew too old to farm, they moved to Spencer.It wasn’t aindustrial town but an agriculture town.On June 27, 1931, it was hot that day.Aneight-year-old boy set a fire accidentally.The fire caused more than half of thebusinesses in the town were destroyed.The people didn’tclaim the boy;on thecontrary, they kept the boy’s name a secret.They united together and rebuilt Spencer.In the late 1980s, people in Spencer once again pulled together in the farm crisis, andthen the library was built then.When Vicki first arrived at the library, she wanted to remodel it.On the verybeginning, the city council didn’t want to give money to her.But Dewey made achange.He made more and more people visit the library.Even better, they weretalking about Dewey.Finally, the city council agreed to support Vicki.Chapter 8A Cat’s Best FriendsDewey was so lovely and kind to people that almost everyone believed that himselfor herself was the only best friend of Dewey.If Dewey appeared in the Story Hour,children could hardly calm down.But there was only person Dewey couldn’t win over.The girl was afraid of four-legged animals.So every time the girl came to the library,Vicki locked Dewey in her office though he was reluctant.Then it came to Dewey’s first birthday.The staff inferred the date was November18.th by the date they found him.It was unbelievable that people in Spencer weresending cards to a cat!On the birthday party, Dewey received a cake made of cat-food.Children and adults smiled and giggled.Dewey loved everyone equally.But he had special relationship and it was withCrystal, who was easy to be neglected.She was a beautiful girl of about 11;however,she had little speech and controlled her limbs well.But when

who had a daughter Jodi.They were inseparable whenJodi was young.But when Jodi was 13 years old, after moving to Spencer, Jodi didn’tallowed her mother kiss her goodnight.Vicki was heartbroken.In addition, when theirloving do g, Brandy, was dead, Vicki didn’t told Jodi.Because she didn’t want Jodi seehow much she was hurt.But in Jodi’s eyes, her mother ―was the woman who killedher dog and didn’t even care‖.Before Dewey arrived when Jodi was 16, they hadlittle to talk about.Vicki felt that they were living separate lives.With Dewey, Vicki had something to talk about that Jodi would like to hear.Deweywas the only thing that could make their relationship lighthearted and playful.Meanwhile, Dewey loved Jodi crazily.On holidays when the library was closed, Vickibrought Dewey home.When Jodi came back home, he jumped right up and rushed toher.Wherever Jodi went, he followed.It didn’t matter where she sit on, he jumped onher laps and purred.Vicki and her daughter weren’t the only ones he helped.To some parents whoworked long days, they had little time to take care their children.But Dewey filled theblank hours to some extent.Chapter 10A Long Way from HomeAfter Vicki’s graduation from high school, she got engaged to the third boy she haddated.But Vicki wanted to leave the small town, so she broke off the engagement.Then she moved to Mankato with her friend Sharon and they worked at Mankato BoxCompany.There Vicki met Wally Myron at a dance club.Wally was the person wholiked smiling and talking.They got married in July 1970 and Vicki got pregnant rightaway.But when she went to labor, the doctor used two doses of Pitocin in order tospeed the process, which caused negative after-effects.Her doctor suggestedexploratory surgery.In the operation, her ovaries and uterus were taken away.Itmeant that she couldn’t have children any more.Everything in Vicki’s world wentblack.From then on, Wally was addicted to alcohol.Everything had no sense for himexcept drinking.He promised many times that he would quit, and of course, nobodybelieved.On the contrary, Vicki’s family and friends helped a lot, especially when sheneeded help.Though she got help from many people, Vicki and her daughter’s lifewent into a difficult position.Eventually, Vicki couldn’t bare the life and divorcedwith Wally.With the help of welfare council, Vicki completedher college, becomingthe first Jipson to earn a college diploma from a four-year college.Chapter 11Hide-and-SeekAfter graduation, Vicky took the interview of the Spencer Public Library and shewas admitted.Within months, she started new programs to develop the library.In1987, she became the new director of the library.To improve she was the best personfor the position, she joined The American Library Association-accreditedlong-distance master’s program.At the same time she threw herself into theremodeling of the library.She has to plan, research, and budget and so on.All ofwhich meant, Vicky had little time with Jodi.Once Jodi had a party for her friends inher house, and all the things became a wreck.The mess didn’t bothered Vicky, but therelationship with Jodi made she couldn’t whip more work.A library after closing was a lonely place.Vicky had to stay late in the librarybecause of her work.Then Dewey would play hide-and –seek with Vicky.With thecompany of Dewey, she never felt lonely.Whatever she needed, Dewey’ gave her,without thought, without wanting something in return.Chapter 12ChristmasChristmas was a holiday in Spencer celebrated together.After a stressful fall, Vickiwas happy to stop thinking about school and remodeling,and for a change focusingon decorating — for the Christmas.When the staff pulled the plastic Christmas tree,Dewey became interested in it.He loved the tree very much.Dewey watched themassembling the tree and chewed the branches though he couldn’t eat them.Everyonethought Dewey found a new best friend.That year Dewey received enormous stack ofgifts from the grateful patrons.But his favorite toy was a red yarn.The library was closed for a few days in Christmas.Dewey came home with Vicki.But he spent most of the time alone because Vicki and Jodi had to go back to Hartley.After Mid-night Mass on Christmas Eve, Vicki and Jodi headed home for Dewey, whoas always was eager to see them.Chapter 13A Great Library The Spencer Public Library was founded in 1883 in Mrs.H.C.Crary’s parlor.In1902, Andrew Carnegie granted the town $10,000 for a new library.The libraryopened on March 6, 1905.It was typical of Carnegie libraries.The ceiling was highand the windows enormous.The floorboards creaked when you walked on them.Itwas as quiet as a church.But a growing town, the library was beautiful but small.In1971 the town tore the old building down to build a bigger, more modern, moreefficient library.But the new building wasn’t right for a town like Spenser.Fewerpeople came to the library.So the staff decided to remodelit.While painting the bareconcrete walls, the painter, Tony, became friends with Dewey.Dewey loved to climbto the top wall shelves and being up on the lights, which often made children beggedhim to come down.Between 1987 and 1989, visits to the library increased from 63,000 a year to morethan 100,000.Of course the remodeling helped, but most of the change, most whatbrought the new people was Dewey.Chapter 14Dewey’s Great EscapeBetween the two sets of the doors of the library was a tiny glass lobby to help keepout the cold in winter.Dewey spent enough time in the lobby.He was curious aboutthe outside world.So one day Dewey escaped from the library.Next morning Deweydidn’t come to eat his morning meal.Vicki searched the whole library for Dewey, andthat night, she drove around for half an hour instead of heading home, but nothinghappened, also the staff.Some patrons knew something was wrong, and they alsohelped to find Dewey.Three days later, Jean Hollis Clark found Dewey under a car on Grand Avenue andbrought him back to the library.The staff gave him food to eat.Vicki gave Dewey abath and Dewey tolerated for the first time.Dewey had a tear in one ear and a scratchon his nose.Years later, Vicki made it a habit to open a sidedoor during library broadmeetings, but Dewey never going out anywhere for the next sixteen years.Chapter 15Spencer’s Favorite CatAbout two months after Dewey’s escape, Vicki took his for his first officialphotograph.Dewey was nervous there, but he was more a fast learner.With theencouragement of Vicki, Dewey jumped onto the chair and let the photographer tooksix photos.In the photograph on the cover of the book, Dewey was beautiful, relaxed,and he was no fear of the camera.The local Shopko was holding a pet photo contest to raise money for charity.Vickientered Dewey in the contest.The town voted and Dewey won more than percent ofthe votes.Maybe he won by his beautiful photograph, or his good look, or hispersonality and so on.But the most important was the town adopted him.He made adifference in the way the town thought about itself absolutely.Chapter 16Iowa’s Famous Library CatDewey’s escape was a turning point and after that he became famous.He appearedfrequently in the newspapers of the town nearby.And Des Moines Register, whichwas the daily newspaper in the state capital, let more than 500,000 people readDewey’s story.The n Dewey began to make his regular appearance on the localtelevision newscasts or nearby cities and states, and most ofthose programs weresame – the story of a poor kitty.But his appearance on Living in Iowa was typical.The host loved him very much.Because of Dewey, Vicki became very active in state library circles.She was elected as the president of the Iowa Small Library Association.She told people thatthey should believe in themselves, just like Dewey.Dewey brought pride, confidence to Spencer.His friends were proud of him.Morethan that, there were eleven different people came up to Vicki and swore on theirmothers’ grave that they had shoved Dewey down the drop box!Chapter 17Dewey in the Modern WorldIn 1994, the Spencer library entered the modern era.People began to use the librarydifferently.The card catalog cabinets were sold at auction.One public-accessedcomputer would replace them all.A librarian clerk’s job used to involve filing andanswering reference questions.Now it’s understanding computers and inputting data.The library had books which had survived World War Ⅱ, the Hundred Year’s War,the Black Death and even earlier.The technology supplied convenient service to readers, and the visits to the library kept rising.Dewey didn’t care about an y of that.He liked sitting on the computers and bask inthe heat.第二篇：英文小说篇一：100本英文小说1.乔伊斯（james

简爱英文章节概括及读后感
简爱英文章节概括及读后感第一篇：简爱英文章节概括及读后感Chapter1 Summary: Jane Eyre was always ill-treated at Gateshead Hall where her aunt, Mrs.Reed and her cousins-Eliza, John and Georgiana lived.Once, she was reading on the window-seat behind a curtain.John came and drove her away.To her anger, she defended herself, but her aunt came and commanded to lock her in the red-room.Feelings: I feel really bad for Jane as a child at her age.Imagine if I were her at that time, I may give myself up and die early.Even if facing such bad situation, she still loved reading.I admire her very much.Chapter2 Summary: Jane was dragged away by two servants, Bessie and Miss Abbot, and locked in the red-room.It was the place where her Uncle Reed died.Thus, the whole atmosphere reminded her of ghosts.She couldn’t stand it anymore and passed out.Feelings: I can’t help feeling that Jane was suffering some kind of mental disease because her aunt and cousins’ attitude towards her.Poor little child!I hope some time in the future it can be healed.Chapter3 Summary: The doctor Mr.Lloyd came to see if Jane was OK.He asked her whether she would like to go to school or not and that was all.Meanwhile, Miss Abbot told Bessie about Jane.Her mother was Mr.Reed’s sister.She married a nearly penniless clergyman, and her father was furious and had nothing more to do with her.They went away to work among poor people, caught typhoid, and died when Miss Jane was a baby, so she was sent to Gateshead Hall.Bessie felt sorry after hearing these.Feelings: Jane was sure unfortunate, but to some extent, she was really lucky.She had someone like Bessie who cared about her.I think Jane will start a new life at school.Chapter4 Summary: Jane wasintroduced to a school’s headmaster Mr.Brocklehurst.Her aunt talked bad about her to that tall, grim man, which means her s chool life didn’t have a good beginning.Feelings: I just feel sick for Mrs.Reed’s behavior.One cannot judge others no matter what, let alone she was Jane’s aunt.What she had done could probably destroy Jane’s whole life!/ 11Chapter5 Summary: Jane arrived at a school at Lowood.The living condition there was really poor.Girls there only had a little food to eat and some of it couldn’t be called as “food”.But there was a teacher called Miss Miller who cared about the girls, ordering extra bread and cheese for them.Feelings: I wonder why on earth there was a school like that in the past.What kind of parents would send their children to hell on earth? I am worried about Jane right now.Chapter6 Summary: Helen was a friend of Jane when she was at school.There was a teacher called Miss Scatcherd who was always directed against Helen.She scolded Helen whenever she had a chance.But Helen was pretty positive towards these.She believed that since life was short, we should be happy.Feelings: Helen had a strong character as a kid.I think that must due to her early experience as an orphan.She could face anything peacefully.Many adults can’t do that in my opinion.Chapter7 Summary: Mr.Brocklehurst announced to all the girls in the school that Jane was a liar and he warned them against her.But Helen trusted her and gave her courage.Feelings: It’s rude to say bad things about others no matter in front of them or behind their backs.Mr.Brocklehurst’s behavior can be really hurtful.Chapter8 Summary: Miss Temple was another person who chose to believe Jane.She asked Mr.Lloyd whether Jane’s side of story was true.As Mr.Lloyd convinced Jane’sword, Miss Temple announced to the school that Jane was innocent of Mr.Brocklehurst’s charges against her.Feelings: Miss Temple is that kind of person who gives you a light of hope when you are truly down.It’s a great luck to have such a person be your side and support you.I think Miss Temple will influence Jane throughout her lifetime.Chapter9 Summary: Typhoid fever struck Lowood when spring came.Thus, many of the students were kept apart.Helen was also ill, not typhoid but with consumption.Knowing Helen might die soon, Jane couldn’t help tiptoeing to the room Helen/ 11stayed in to be with her as her last company.They spent a night together and Helen died in Jane’s arm during her dream.Feelings: Helen’s death was a great loss for Jane in my opinion.But anyhow, Helen’s spirit leaves a deep impression on me, and I believe, on everyone who has ever read this book.Chapter10 Summary: Soon after the typhoid, there was an inquiry, which brought to light the truth about Lowood with its wretched clothing, poor food, and bad conditions.Lowood was put into the care of kind and sensible trustees, and both diet and clothing improved.After six years of study there, Jane became a teacher.After her tutor both in study and in life, Miss Temple, get married and left, Jane decided to leave as well.On her last night at Lowood, Bessie visited her with her son Bobby.She brought the news about Gateshead to Jane.Feelings: It’s time for Jane to find a new place to go.She had been at Lowood for so many years and she should search for some new opportunity and start a new life at Thornfield Hall.Chapter11 Summary: On arriving at Thornfield Hall, Jane met the house keeper Mrs.Fairfax and her student Adele whose guardian was Mr.Edward Fairfax Rochester,who was also the owner of the house.She also met a solidly built servant called Grace Poole.Feelings: I guess Jane can live an at least comfortable life here at Thornfield Hall since nobody is after her.Jane’s bright new life starts right now.Chapter12 Summary: Jane met Mr.Rochester on her way to post a letter.Mr.Rochester sprained his ankle in the lane.Feelings: It’s a pretty strange way to meet your employer the first time like that.I bet there would be interesting stories between them.Chapter13 Summary: Adele was having a lot of trouble concentrating when she knows Mr.Rochester was downstairs—she kept trying to sneak downstairs to see him or to guess what presented he might have brought her.Mr.Rochester and Jane talked about Jane’s early experiences and Mr.Rochester called Jane as elf.Thus, Jane considered Mr.Rochester changeful and abrupt.Feelings: I kind of feel the same as Jane did.How could an almost stranger say such rude thing during our first chat? If I were Jane, I might be really angry.3 / 11Chapter14 Summary: One evening, Rochester sent for Jane and Adele after dinner.Suddenly, because she was staring at him, Rochester asked Jane if she thought he’s handsome.Without thinking, she gave an honest answer: no.Rochester told her that he’s feeling chatty tonight, and ordered Jane to chat with him about something.While Jane and Rochester had been talking, Adele had run out to try on one of the dresses that were among her new presents from Rochester.When she comes back and frolics around in the dress, she looks just like her mother.Feelings: I don’t know why but I just feel that the whole conversation between them is super intense and kind of awkward to me...Chapter15 Summary: One day when Mr.Rochester and Jane were wandering in the garden, Mr.Rochester talked aboutAdele’s mother, Celine Varens.That evening, Jane finds Rochester asleep in his bed with the curtains and his bedclothes on fire, and she puts out the flames and rescues him.Feelings: I feel like the relationship between Jane and Mr.Rochester is changing-I see something about love.Chapter16 Summary: Mrs.Fairfax told Jane that Mr.Rochester was taking a trip to Mr.Eshton’s house which was filled with girls who were fond of Mr.Rochester, especially Blanche Ingram, Lord Ingram’s daughter.After hearing this, Jane was pretty sure that Mr.Rochester would not be with her no matter what, so she became really sad.Feelings: I don’t think Mr.Rochester is that kind of guy who only cares about money and beauty to be honest.And if he has feelings for Jane, he may marry her.Chapter17 Summary: Everyone spends the three days making frantic preparations for all the guests.When they rode up, some in carriages and some on horses, a beautiful woman in a purple dress was riding beside Rochester.It’s Blanche Ingram!The visitors enter, and Jane sat with Adele, half-listening to their noise and trying to keep Adele from running down and bothering them.Blanche and Rochester sang a song, and Jane wanted to leave, but she’s mesmerized by Rochester’s voice.As soon as he finished, she slipped out into the hallway.Rochester came out after Jane and asked why she didn’t come and talk to him in the drawing room.He wanted her to come back, but he could tell she’s about to cry, so he let her go.Feelings: Now I am more than sure that Jane was in love with Mr.Rochester/ 11completely.It’s obvious that Miss Blanche’s heart is not as beautiful as her appearance, so basically Mr.Rochester won’t choose her over Jane.Chapter18 Summary: With Rochesterabsent, a stranger arrived at Thornfield.The stranger, whose name was Mason, claimed to be an old friend of Mr.Rochester’ter that day, a strange gypsy woman arrived, offering to tell their fortunes.Blanche Ingram went first.Everyone waited excitedly for her to come back and tell them what the woman said, but when she did come back she said the woman was obviously a fraud.The servant, Sam, told Jane that the gypsy woman said she knew there’s another single woman in the gr oup, and that she thought that must mean her.Jane’s curious about the woman, so she went to see her and had her own fortune told.Feelings: Though I wonder who Mason was, I’m more excited about the story between Jane and that “gypsy woman”.It could be reall y interesting!Chapter19 Summary: Jane entered the library and saw the old gypsy woman reading a prayer-book by the fire.Her hat and handkerchief threw shadows over her face.The gypsy asked Jane about Mr.Rochester, and when she didn’t say much in response, the gypsy suggested that Mr.Rochester was in love with Blanche Ingram.Jane admitted that the rumor was that Rochester and Blanche were engaged, but corrected the woman on one thing—they were not in love.In a moment, the woman’s voice changed—the old gypsy woman was Mr.Rochester in disguise, and he’s just been messing with everyone.She told him about Mason’s arrival, and he’s so horrified that he couldn’t even stand up anymore.Then, Jane called Mason to meet Mr.Rochester in the room.Feelings: From this chap ter, I’m happy to see that Mr.Rochester loved Jane too and he wanted to see if Jane had the same feelings as he did.From our point of view, they both love each other more than anything.However, Mr.Rochester’s behavior shows that Mason’s presence means some thingterrible has happened, or will happen.Chapter20 Summary: Everyone in the house is woken up by all the noise.The guests stumble around in the corridor in their robes, but nobody seems to know what’s going on.Jane gets dressed, then sits by the window waiting.Mr.Rochester knocks on her door and asks her to come with him.He sends Jane back to get a sponge and some salts.Rochester tells Jane to stay with Mason and to make sure he stays awake, but not to talk to him at all for any reason.He gives her the sponge, which is bloody now, so that she can tend to the wound a little, too.For a/ 11long time, Jane stays there, wiping blood, trying to keep him conscious.Rochester says that he warned Mason, and Mason should have listened.Mason says he thought he could have done something to make things better.While Mason is sent away, Rochester and Jane are left alone together outside the house, and he asks her to walk with him in the woods as the sun is rising before they go back to Thornfield Hall.Feelings: Mason is bitten by somebody!Who on earth he is? Why he comes to Thornfield? Who is the person that bites Mason? What’s their relationship with Mr.Rochester? There are still lots of answers to be found.Chapter21 Summary: One afternoon, Jane is visited by Mr.Reed’s coachman.He tells Jane that John Reed is dead and that Mrs.Reed had a stroke when she heard.Jane goes in to see Mrs.Reed, who is lying ill in bed.Mrs.Reed is still harsh and bad-tempered, but she does want Jane to stay so that they can talk things over.As she’s dying, Mrs.Reed apologizes to Jane for concealing a letter from Jane’s uncle, John Eyre, which came three years ago.Mrs.Reed lets Jane read the letter, in which John asked where Jane was so that he could write a will making herthe heir of his fortune when he died.Then Mrs.Reed admits something else: she wrote to John Eyre and told him Jane died of typhoid at Lowood.Feelings: Mrs.Reed’s behavior crossed the line.No matter what she has no right to conceal Jane’s letter from her uncle.She could treat Jane badly, but when somebody else wants to treat her like his own child, she just robbed her chance away? That’s not what elder people should do to her child.Chapter22 Summary: Jane goes back to Thornfield.During the next two weeks, it’s pretty quiet and se ems like Mr.Rochester is busy preparing his wedding with Blanche Ingram.Feelings: Sometimes things are not like what it seems to be.I’m sure it is Jane who Mr.Rochester really loves and the bride is going to be Jane instead of Blanche Ingram.Chapter23 Summary: Rochester asks Jane to walk with him.Jane and Rochester sit on the bench under the chestnut tree.Rochester asks her to marry him.And of course, Jane agrees.Feelings: Looks like what I guess finally comes true.But everything is just way too perfect…Chapter24/ 11Summary: The next morning, Jane is blissfully happy and wonders if this is all a dream.Rochester starts telling Jane about all the fancy jewelry and clothes he’s going to give her.She looks him in the eye, and tells him that, if he keeps decking her out in expensive clothes and jewelry and behaving so badly about it, she’ll never wear anything he buys her.Feelings: The dialogues between them are cute and full of sweetness.They could have a successful marriage.Chapter25 Summary: The previous evening, Jane went to bed, but couldn’t sleep.She thought she could hear a weird howling sound in the wind.When Jane woke up,there was a burning candle on the table in her room.Then Jane noticed that her closet door was open and someone was messing with her wedding dress and veil.Jane sat up in bed, shocked: the woman wasn’t anyone she knew at Thornfield, but someone else, a stranger.The stranger was a tall woman with long, dark hair dressed in white;her face was disturbing, with bloodshot red eyes, swollen, dark lips, and thick black eyebrows.The strange woman was wearing Jane’s wedding veil, and, as Jane watched, the woman pulled it off, tore it in half, and trampled on it.Jane asks Mr.Rochester who the woman is.Rochester says that she imagined this nightmar ish creature.Jane’s not really satisfied with this explanation, but she pretends to be to make Rochester feel better.Feelings: It could be a nightmare even if in dreams, let alone it real happens.That strange woman might be somebody who has a special and interesting identity.Chapter26 Summary: It's the day of Jane and Rochester's wedding.It should be the happiest day of Jane's life, but during the church ceremony two men show up claiming that Rochester is already married.Mrs.Rochester is Bertha Mason, the “madwoman in the attic” who tried to burn Rochester to death in his bed, stabbed and bit her own brother, and who’s been doing other creepy things at night.Rochester was tricked into marrying Bertha fifteen years ago in Jamaica.Rochester claims that he’s no t really married because his relationship with Bertha isn’t a real marriage.He wants Jane to go and live with him in France, where they can pretend to be a married couple and act like husband and wife.Jane refuses to be his next mistress and runs away befo re she’s tempted to agree.Feelings: What a mess!I bet that’s not what Mr.Rochester wants and also not what Jane wants.Actually, none of them did anything wrong, but life islife.Chapter27 Summary: Jane stays in her room for most of the day with a debate raging in her/ 11head: does she really have to leave Thornfield? Rochester wants Jane to go with him to France and live with him in a villa there as his “virtual” wife.He claims that he’s not really married and that Jane would basically be his wife, not his mistress.Jane realizes that what matters most is her own respect for herself, and that it’s even more important for her to cling to her principles at this difficult moment.Jane wakes up early and packs a few small things, leaving all the presents Rochester bought her.Feelings: God bless Jane!Hope she has made the right choice and will start a new life somewhere else.Chapter28 Summary: Jane travels in a random direction away from Thornfield.Having no money, she almost starves to death before being taken in by the Rivers family, who live at Moor House near a town called Morton.Feelings: Jane is not that lucky, she never made it to live a happy life she wants.But she is lucky, too.She has got some warm-hearted people who are willing to help when she is in dan ger.I don’t know how to express that, but it’s sad to know life isn’t easy at all.Chapter29 Summary: The Rivers siblings—Diana, Mary, and St.John—are about Jane’s age and well-educated, but somewhat poor.They take whole-heartedly to Jane, who has taken the pseudonym “Jane Elliott” so that Mr.Rochester can’t find her.Feelings: Jane has friends at her own age right now.They could get along with each other well.Chapter30 Summary: Jane wants to earn her keep, so St.John arranges for her to become the teacher in a village girls’ school.St.John gets a letter stating that the Rivers’ Uncle John is dead.Jane watches as all the members of the Rivers familybehave somewhat strangely about this—they’re not exactly sad;she’s not sure what they’re feeling.St.John explain s that their uncle had argued with their father long before, and that he had a fortune of twenty thousand pounds, but decided to leave all the money to another relative.Feelings: Well, Jane has an uncle whose name is John, and the Rivers happens to have an Uncle John too?

It’s not obviously.Maybe that’s what life is like, full o f strange combinations of circumstances.Chapter37 Summary: Jane goes to Ferndean to find Rochester.When she comes up to the house, she sees him coming out and watches him for a long time without letting him know she’s there.Jane offers to be Rochester’s nu rse or housekeeper, convinced that he will immediately ask her to marry him again, but he doesn’t.Jane insists that Rochester eat supper, which he usually doesn’t.In the morning, Jane comes down to breakfast, and then takes Rochester outside so they can stroll in the wood and meadows.They sit down in a dry place and Rochester asks Jane to tell him where she’s been and what’s happened to her.Rochester laments his blindness and lost hand, but asks Janeto marry him anyway.She accepts gladly.Rochester also tells Jane that, four days before, between eleven and twelve at night, he called her name three times frantically—and he heard her respond.He thinks that perhaps they met in spirit.Jane doesn’t tell Rochester that she heard him call her name and responded to him while she was sitting, miles away，10 / 11with St.John.Feelings: Just like “No matter the ending is perfect or not, you cannot disappear from my world.” Even though Mr.Rochester loses something, he gains love and that’s the most important thing for him.The story finally comes down to this point and I just wish they can be happy together..Chapter38 Summary: They have a quiet wedding, and after two years of marriage Rochester gradually gets his sight back.They also have a son.Feelings: What can I say right now?

英文原著知识点归纳总结
英文原著知识点归纳总结Historical ContextThe Salem witch trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts between February 1692 and May 1693. It resulted in the executions of 20 people, 14 of them women, and the accusation of more than 200 others. The trials have become synonymous with paranoia and injustice, and have been the subject of much historical analysis and literary adaptation. Understanding the historical context of the play is crucial to appreciating Miller's portrayal of the events and the underlying themes of fear, power, and mass hysteria.Religious and Cultural ContextThe Puritans who settled in Massachusetts Bay Colony were deeply religious and held rigid beliefs about sin, morality, and the devil. Their way of life and their interpretation of Christianity played a significant role in the events that led to the witch trials. In The Crucible, the characters' religious beliefs and the influence of the church are central to the plot and character motivations. Exploring the religious and cultural context of the play helps to understand the mindset of the characters and the community as a whole, and the ways in which these factors contributed to the hysteria that gripped Salem.The Role of FearFear is a driving force in The Crucible, as it fuels the accusations of witchcraft and the subsequent trials. The fear of the unknown, the fear of social outcasts, and the fear of divine punishment are all at play in the story. Fear is used as a tool to control and manipulate others, and the characters' responses to their fears reveal their true natures. By examining the role of fear in the play, one can gain insight into the characters' motivations and the wider implications for society as a whole.The Abuse of PowerThe trials in The Crucible are a stark example of the abuse of power. Those in positions of authority use their influence to accuse and prosecute innocent people, often for personal gain or to settle personal vendettas. The play highlights the dangers of unchecked power and the devastating consequences it can have on individuals and communities. Understanding the abuse of power in The Crucible can lead to discussions about social justice, the rule of law, and the responsibilities of those in authority.Mass HysteriaMass hysteria is a phenomenon in which a group of people becomes irrational and overwhelmingly convinced of an idea that is not based on reason or evidence. The Salem witch trials are a classic example of mass hysteria, and The Crucible explores the social and psychological dynamics that lead to such events. By examining the themes of mass hysteriain the play, students can gain insights into human behavior, group dynamics, and the ways in which fear and paranoia can spread through a community.Morality and IntegrityThe characters in The Crucible are faced with moral dilemmas and must make difficult choices in the face of intense pressure. The play raises questions about the nature of integrity and the importance of standing up for one's beliefs, even in the face of adversity. By studying the moral and ethical dimensions of the play, students can engage in discussions about personal values, moral courage, and the complexities of human behavior.The Allegorical Nature of the PlayArthur Miller wrote The Crucible as an allegory for McCarthyism, the anti-communist witch hunts that took place in the United States during the 1950s. By examining the parallels between the events of the play and the historical context in which it was written, students can develop an understanding of allegory as a literary device and of the ways in which literature can be used to comment on contemporary social and political issues. Symbolism and ImageryThe Crucible is rich with symbolism and imagery that add depth and complexity to the story. From the oppressive weight of the wooden beams in the Proctor household to the "yellow bird" that haunts the girls, the play is rife with symbols that invite interpretation and analysis. Exploring the symbolism and imagery in The Crucible can lead to discussions about the power of language and metaphor, as well as the ways in which writers use symbolic elements to convey meaning.The Redemptive Power of TruthUltimately, The Crucible is a story about the redemptive power of truth. The characters who embrace the truth, even at great personal cost, are the ones who find a sense of peace and integrity. By contrast, those who lie and deceive are destroyed by their own falsehoods. The play offers a powerful message about the importance of honesty and the destructive nature of deceit. Exploring the themes of truth and redemption in The Crucible can prompt discussions about personal accountability, the consequences of dishonesty, and the ways in which truth can set us free.The Crucible is a timeless and universal work that continues to resonate with audiences around the world. By studying its historical, religious, and cultural contexts, as well as its themes of fear, power, and truth, students can develop a deep understanding of the play and its enduring significance. Furthermore, the play provides an opportunity for students to engage in discussions about morality, integrity, and the human experience, making it a valuable and enriching text for study in any educational setting.。
