Metacogition: Jane Eyre Mashup

Metacognition: Jane Eyre Mashup

Doing the mashup allowed me to think of Jane Eyre in new ways. As I used other sources to make connections to Jane Eyre, I discovered additional levels within Jane Eyre. I used other models to view Jane Eyre and that created a very exciting expierence. New understanding came from using other works to further comprhend Jane Eyre.

My thinking of this reminded me of how Heart of Darkness was used as a way to understand the Vietnam War. I began to see other things as a way to build on how I saw Jane Eyre. The song "Hey there Deliliah" by the Plain White T's, began to be a song about the the longing Rochester had for Jane. This not only allowed my mind to process there relationship with more depth but it also allows me to really feel the longes that Jane and Rochester felt. The song "Falling Slowly" and the movie "Once" deepand understanding of how Jane and Rochester fell in love and became close without any romantic contact.

I was surprised by how my mind was able to use other a means of thought as wages to view Jane Eyre and how they really furthered my understanding by just looking at other sources. I didn't have to read further into Jane Eyre but I could just look at other sources and use those connections to build on how I saw Jane Eyre and see what the characters were feeling. I began to see even more levels from Jane Eyre thus making the book more interesting than if I had looked at it alone because I want to start comparing it to whole bunch of other works of literature became so much more deep for me. However, I did see room for improvement in how I how I think about who literature when I read because after doing this project I developed skills to look for connections to other sources as I read books. For example if I read Jane Eyre again or some other new book I would be able to see so many more connections to other words with you make it so much more interesting for me.
