So many people told me before I started Jane Eyre that it was very good, but it took a while to get into. I didn't find this true at all. I loved this book from the very start. It grabbed my attention from the beginning with the horrible aunt and cousins, and continued to the very end. It is wonderfully written, and I am glad I chose this book. It seems to me that the major literary element is imagery. Without imagery, this book wouldn't appeal to me so much and it wouldn't be nearly as easy to understand the conflict. Without imagery, this book would be flat.
It is very clear at the beginning the tone. The author describes a loathing that is felt between the family of Jane and Jane herself. The tone continues on on this theme until Jane happens on better situations, where the tone turns more towards joy. Never does the author fail to express all of the situations described with a clear, reflective voice.
Now that I'm so far in my book, I have to begin to think of the other part of our assignment, the graphic organizer. Now I have no ideas of how to express imagery, and with no clear ideas, any suggestions would be gladly appreciated. Help!

Hey Laura! For a graphic organizer, you could get visuals of the imagery and next to each visual you could describe how the author is using this to its full advantage. Just a thought!
