There's no written essay this week, but instead I'm sharing a special gift: my ninth-grade book report on Jane Eyre. I am delighted whenever I dig this out and peruse it, but not because I still hold the same opinions. With Lizzie Bennet, the author wishes you “to understand that her sentiments had undergone so material a change” as to be quite the reverse.
