24、 DifferentPeriods of LifeA. The Early Childhood Life of JaneWhen little Jane as a despised orphan lived in the house of Aunt Reed who is her uncles widow, she was abused very much. But why could she live down bravely and keep mentally healthy? That is because she could get conciliation from the know

25、ledge of books.During the period when Jane lived with her Aunt Reed, she had not a good-looking and no one loved her, her life was even worse than the servants of Aunt Reed. When Aunt Reeds children Ehza, John, and Georgiana were clustered round their mama in the drawing-room, Jane had dispensed fro

26、m joining the group. John Reed called Jane “Madam Mope! Bad animal!”, and bullied and punished Jane-not two or three times in the week, nor once or twice in the day, but continually.
