Discussing Chapters 24-25

You guys know what to do!  Comment your ideas, feelings, likes, dislikes on the chapters we read on Saturday.  Whatever opinion you have is completely valid as long as you can support it, explain it, back it up with clear explanations and examples.  

Don't forget to also comment on at least one other person's ideas.  This, like every week's writing, is worth 10 points.

The deadline is Friday, May 6 at 8:00 pm.

Note: Many of you are not commenting on some other person's ideas... it's very important that you do this or you won't get the full 10 points! 

Tip: Remember, in a good piece of writing you must put your soul there, you have to be courageous to write your true thoughts, otherwise what you wrote can seem uninteresting... the more thruthful you are, the more interesting it is for others to read and know you as a person.  Bear this in mind when you put your ideas on paper.


P.S. I don't know what's the matter with most of you, but we only have a couple of more weeks of class left, so please complete all the work as much as possible.  Don't forget about your projects!

  1. The ending was shocked to me, i didn´t mind Mr Rochester being blind he is one of the principal character, maybe this was his punishment for being a bad person or done bad some things.. At this time his arrogance disappeared and he realized that he is not superior to anybody.. Jane always so generous maybe because she´s too young and he was her first love.. Mr Rochester seems like her father this is the worst thing i found..

  2. Like Laura I’m surprised with the end of the story. Mr Rochester was blind and with one hand, but fortunately Jane is a good woman with pure feeling towards him.
    Maybe if Jane didn’t return to Thornfield, Mr Rochester would be a more bitter man than before without love, alone…
    I liked very much the final when Jane married the man of her life and when Mr Rochester was able to see again..

  3. I disagree with Laura that Mr Rochester seems to be like her father. I think that there's no age for love, so they love each other and they are the perfect couple about so many couples of the same age but without the same understanding tha they have....It's my opinion :)

  5. I liked the end of the story, because they lived happy together, I didnt like that Jane found Mr Rochester blind and without one hand, but that wasn't a problem for their love. Now Jane can live the life that she wanted, she loved Mr Rochester and he loved her; and she also has the family that she wanted

  6. Yes, finally Jane found the happiness that she deserved......I hope that in our lives the same thing happening, when you are looking for love, family and some money to survive :)

  7. Grand Finale! Mr. Rochester’s actions prove he is a great man! He is the hero of the story, and a victim of others ambitions! OK, Jane is a nice girl. I liked the most when she decided to find Mr. Rochester, the fact that she did not give up on her feelings, though the time, and all the other things that happened.
    At first, I did not like that Mr. Rochester was blind, but then I realized it gave to the story the dramatic “thing” it should have, because at the end, he could see better again.
    I think it was a good end of a story, but it is not as astonishing as I would like it to be. Maybe during their wedding, a big battle between the ghost of Bertha and Jane, that would be surprising! But, I know, this story is all about feelings. I suppose the fact of Mr. Rochester being blind and without a hand is the shocking thing!
    So, this is the end of the story. I want to say I find more interesting when, at the beginning, a story does not seem as if it will interest me, and at the end, I am able to say it is really a great story. The worth of a story, is all the things we can learn from it.

  8. This is my opinion about a classmate's opinion:
    I totally disagree with Laura. I don't think the blindness of Mr. Rochester was a punishment. I don't believe in destination’ or God’s punishments. That is just the way things happened, and he had to go through it. I don’t think he did a really bad thing to be punished with his loss of sight.

  9. I completely agree with Pablo because the things that happened to Mr Rochester may have happened to anyone.....and God never uses punishments like that...

  10. I agree with Pablo, Mr Rochester didn't do a really bad thing, the thing that he did was a mistake nothing to be punished.
    I don't agree with Laura in my opinion Mr Rochester did'n seem like Jane's father, they are a good happy couple with little differences that they didn't care.

  11. Well Well Well.. Aaaaleluyaaa.. hahaha.. Just Kidding. Sometimes the sories don't have a absolute happy ending. i think all the events were in destiny. That Mr. Rochester turned blind and lost one hand is not because is like a punishment for all the bad things he did, but because this was his destiny. Maybe he thinks that is like a punishment, but the truth is that since now on he will appreciate his life and his wife.

    All this was told since the beggining. I really like the ending and especially the message it leaves us. every one may take a message from this story and that is the best part. this was not just a love story novel, but a helping and valuable book where we could make comparisons with our lives and try to make it better.

  12. Well this is the end of the story, and if we think a little, it is happy and sad at the same time, at least this is what I see, Jane couldn’t forget about Mr. Rochester, he would always be her love, so she decided to go after it, maybe to see him one last time, great was her surprise to find him single, now they could be happy together, with no mad wife between them jaja… Ok this is the bright side for me, now it is sad the condition in which Mr. Rochester was, he got blind and lost one hand, I mean he doesn’t know if some day he will enjoy seeing his love again, although he will spend the rest of his life with her, but despite everything, he was happy to have Jane next to him again. I agree with some people and disagree with others about the whole story of punishment received by Mr. Rochester, I don’t think it was a punishment, you can be a good person all your life, but there’s steel the chance something bad happening to you.

  13. Well, I agree with Laura, everything happens because something, for a reason, I'm not nobody to say that Mr. Rochester deserved that but he did a really huge mistake hiding his marriege from Jane, eventhough his wife was mad, he treated Jane as a stupid inocent lady, what did he think? she is not intelligent enough she'll never discover, so if his blindness is a punish i'm not nobody to say that he didn't deserve that too.
    I'm happy with the end of the story, finally she could be happy, (eventhough she just could get the happiness with Mr. Rochester), above everything she loved Edward and without Bertha everybody could be happy, her death was the perfect solution to them, because she was a big stone on their shoes, in despite that i said i'm happy for Jane, it doesn't mean that i'm agree with her decission of forgiving Mr. Rochester after all, but when we're in love we can't see with our eyes, just with our hearts, we become blinds and sometimes stupid.
