Mr. Brocklehurst is a major visual presentation of
herself. She had a superior position on the stool
and all the "ladies" underneath her looked
ridiculous. Berg commented that Jane's bird eye
view alters her perspective psychologically and
she surprises herself by being so self-controlled.
" I mastered the rising hysteria, lifted up my
head, and took a firm stand on the stool" (99).

Turned My Back Mate For Life Goose

I had just divorced my third wife, Cherie. She was
a plain woman with almost no outstanding
characteristics about her at all. I married her
because she was quite different from my first two
wives and because I didnt want to grow old alone.
Also, I couldnt cook. Cherie could cook, however,
all of her dishes were very plain. This should not
have surprised me. I stood along the riverbank
behind my house and reflected on my marriages. It
was early November, 1985. The Canada geese always

distract the viewer from the suggested meaning or
point, but to support the idea that hope and
despair are reflections of one another; on
opposite sides of a coin, spinning in mid-air,
waiting to land and fix or des...
