HOMEWORK: Read the first eight chapters (to pg 77). Create ten LC* questions and choose one to answer in a well-developed paragraph. Everything we learned in MP1 should be on display: specific evidence leading to specific conclusions, 1:1 rule, no unnecessary words, etc.
*LC Questions are questions a literary critic asks. Their purpose is to think about how and why the author created the work. They are different from the questions a curious reader asks. A curious reader's purpose is to understand what is happening in the story.
For example, a curious reader asks: What is the setting? What is Jane like as a person? A literary critic asks: Why did Bronte choose to begin the story in a claustrophobic, spooky red room and how does that choice shape Jane as a character?
