Keith Essay Topic

Man oh man...

The time is upon us people.

Its like the moment in fifth grade when you ask a girl on your first date, you're focused, ready to give it your all, butterflies are pitilessly fluttering throughout your core, and you have no way of knowing how things will unfold. But what you do know, is you've got a job to do.


So having finished the book, as I assume most everyone is the same, the essay inspirations are countless! I'm struggling with narrowing down exactly what I'd like to write about, as well as if I can have the topic take up three pages. The topic is just out of reach. My brain is saying "come! come to me you perfectly formulated idea!" and, like an intolerable child, the essay topic responds with a "not yet! hehehe, buy me candy and a lollipod, feed me first, and then i'll come to you." BRAT! But I think i've got it down.

Once the excess dirt is scraped away, like a diamond, the prize is right there in my palm. And my diamond...my baby...my mistress...is an essay topic based upon the first scene of Jane's arrival at Thornfield. A place she described as "heavenly". Not like anything she has ever experienced. She's spent her whole existence under cruelty, un-empathetical people, and humiliation. Her superiors have made sure she feels no happiness and has no fun in the process of her existence. Up until this point Jane has no idea what "being nice" is all about, or the inherent quality of common courtesy. Now she is in a place where she is confused by the sincere niceness she is greeted with by Mrs. Fairfax. Jane asks herself why someone would be so nice at first. She is about to experience a whole world of new circumstances and this scene when Jane is in Thornfield for the first time is literally a new world for Ms. Jane Eyre.
