Role Play

F. Put students into groups of three and let them act as Jane.

Student A: You are Jane. You live with the Reeds. Tell the other students about your life there.

My Parents died when I was very young. I do not even remember them. Mr. Reed has been my uncle. He liked me. He took me in his house. When he died he got a promise from Mrs. Reed to take care of me. The children of Mrs. Reed tortured me beyond the limit. They scolded me and hit me badly. Though I did nothing wrong Mrs. Reed abused me and locked me in red room. There I got frightened. I thought my uncle Mr. Reed visited me in the red room. I screamed and fainted. I became ill. The doctor told that I had been suffering with fever. Only Bessie, the servant maid showed me some concern and love. No one else. My childhood at the house of Mrs. Reed was a real hell and nothing else.

Student B: You are Jane. You have been at Lowood School for a few months. Tell the other students about your life there.

When I went to the school at Lowood I was not aware that it was charity school for orphans. I went there and met Miss. Temple and Miss. Miller, teachers of the school. Miss. Temple was really kind to me. I befriended Helen Bums. Unfortunately she got infection and died. Out of eighty students forty five of them fell ill at the same time. Half starvation and severe cold made the students ill. After this incident fell the school improved. I was there six years as a student and two years as a teacher.

Student C: You are Jane. You are eighteen. You are going to work at Thornfield Hall as a teacher. Tell the other students about your hopes for your life.

After my laborious years in the school at Lowood, I became half desperate. I wanted liberty. So I advertised in The ‘Herald’ newspaper for situations. A week later I received a letter from Mrs.
Fairfax Thomfield. I left Lowood and went to Thomfield. Mrs. Fairfax was kind to me. I was anxious to see Miss. Fairfax. But Mrs. Fairfax said that she had no family. The house belonged to Mr. Rochester. His ward was Adela. Adela would be my pupil in future. Adela came running in the lawn in the morning. I saw her and talked to her. She looked beautiful. She said she liked dancing, singing and drawing. I started a new life as a governess in Thomfield.

After this, decide who is the unhappiest of the three ‘Janes’.
[Jane in the house of Mrs. Reed was the unhappiest moments of her life. Because she was too young and had no support to defend herself from violence.]

Alice in Wonderland Summary in Tamil

ஆலிஸ் உறங்கும் போது கனவு காண்கிறாள். கனவில் பல மாயாஜாலத் தோற்றங்களைக் காண்கிறாள். கனவில் வெள்ளை முயல், கம்பளிப்பூச்சி, மார்ச்ஹேர், மேட்ஹேட்டர், செஷியர் பூனை, மந்திர தேநீர் விருந்து, சீட்டுக்கட்டு ராணி, வேடிக்கையான நீதிமன்ற விசாரணை போன்ற காட்சிகளைக் காண்கிறாள். எழுந்து பார்க்கும் போது ஆலிஸ் தன் அருகே தன் சகோதரியையும் ஓடித் திரியும் முயலையும் பார்க்கிறாள். தான் கண்ட காட்சி யாவும் கனவு என்று புரிந்து கொள்கிறாள்.
