My Story Begins

In 1825, I was ten years old. My father and mother were dead. I lived with my aunt and uncle, Mr. And Mr.s Reed. Their house was called Gateshead Hall. The house was in Yorkshire, in the north of England. My Aunt and Uncle Reed had two children – a boy, John, and a girl, Eliza. I like my Uncle Reed and he liked me. But in 1825, my uncle died. /zomrel/

After that, I was very unhappy. My Aunt Reed did not like me. And John and Eliza were unkind to me. It was a cold, rainy day in December. All of us were in the house. I wanted to be alone. I wanted to read. I opened a book. Then I heard my Cousin John´s voice. „Jane! Jane Eyre! Where are you?“ John shouted. /kričal/

He came into the room and he saw me. „Why are you reading my book?“ he asked. „Give it to me!“ John took /vzal/ the book. He hit /udrel/ my head with it. I streamed. John hit me again. I pulled his hair and I kicked him. /Vytrhla som mu vlasy a kopala som ho./ „Help! Help, Mamma!“ John shouted. „Jane Eyre is hurting me! /ubližuje mi/“ Aunt Reed ran into the room. She pulled me /odtiahla ma/ away from John.

„John hit me with a book,“ I said. „I hate him. And I hate you too!“ You are a bad girl, Jane,“ my aunt said. „Why do you hite me?“ „You don´t like me,“ I replied.

Jane chce odísť z domu, kde nie je milovaná. Ale jej teta sa jej len smeje.

„Where will you go? Your parents are dead. You cannot live alone.“ Aunt Reed thought for a moment. „My friend, Mr. Brocklehurst, is the owner of a school,“ she said. „I will send you to Mr. Brocklehurst´s school.“ A few days later, Mr. Brocklehurst came to Gateshead Hall. He was a very tall man. His eyes were dark and his face was cruel. /jeho tvár bola krutá/

Od začiatku Jane Eyre ponižoval a rovnako ako ostatné deti v škole, za nič nemal. Vďaka pani Reed považoval Jane Eyre za „zlú“. „God punishes /trestá/ bad children, Jane Eyre.“ „God will punish John Reed,“ I replied. Jane je ešte len malé dievčatko, ale bráni sa, bojuje. No proti svetu a sile dospelých sa zdá, že nemá šancu.

„Bad girls are punished at my school, Jane Eyre,“ Mr. Brocklehurst said. „The girls work very hard at Lowood. You will become a good girl.“

„I will work hard. I will be a good pupil, Mr. Brocklehurst,“ I said.

Two weeks later, I left Gateshead Hall. I went to Lowood School.
