Jane Eyre Final Reflection

Overall, I think Jane Eyre was an okay book. I didn't enjoying reading the beginning, actually I dreaded it. It took me awhile to get into the book but once I got through the beginning I started to enjoy it more. Jane is a very unique character and in some way inspiring. I think Jane Eyre is a good book for the "coming of age" unit. Even thought Jane Eyre isn't personally my favorite book, I still think it is a good book for future college lit students.

My Sister's Keeper

In class we talked about film adaptations of books. One film adaptation I have seen is My Sister's Keeper. I read the novel My Sister's Keeper and loved it. It is such an inspiring book. When I found out they were making the novel into a film I was ecstatic. I went to go see the movie in the theaters and I was more than dissapointed. Characters' personalities were changed. Scenes were changed. The ending was even changed. The only thing I am happy about is that I read the book before seeing the movie. I would recommend the novel My Sister's Keeper to anyone and I would recommend the movie to anyone who wants to waste two hours of their life.

  

"Teen-hood"

1. Do these directors and screenplay writers and authors get the teenage experience right? Do you feel like characters such as Holden Caulfield and Jim Stark are accurate representations of what it's like to be a teen? Defend your response.

I think directors and screenplay writers and authors get the teenage experience right to a certain degree. Holden Caulfield and Jim Stark are two out of many examples of teenagers. Everyone teenager is different in their own way and I think directors, screeenplay writers, and authors will never be able to portray every kind of teen.


2. Who does get it right? What character from a movie or TV show not included in the Daily News's slideshow do you think is an accurate depiction of modern teenhood? Explain your choice.

The only movie I can think of that is close to protraying modern teenhood is The Breakfast Club. That movie has teens that are very different and come from different families just like teens today.
