Metacognition: Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre is a book that happens to be timeless as well as fantastic. However, the font is small and the book is thick, and it takes a while for my eyes to adjust to reading it so closely. I was having difficulties in the beginning reading it, mainly because I struggle with most things I am assigned to read. But since I was aware of the reading quizzes coming up, I had to find a way to read it...and enjoy it. So I thought about how the book is a winding tale of romance. Romance is one of my favorite genres. So, thinking of it as a romantic story, I started reading it like a fairy tale. That definitely helped me figure out how to understand what was going on. I identified Jane as the Juliet and Mr. Rochester as the Romeo...with slightly different happenings. I liked this way of thinking because it helped me understand the love between Jane and Rochester much better. But I should probably work on how to read it more carefully.
