I am going to tell you about my introduction with the novel "Jane Eyre" a sample of classics of English literature. The author of the book is the world-famous English writer Charlotte Bronte. The novel was written in 1847 and tells us about the life path of the main character Jane Eyre.

The orphan, left in the care of the wife of the deceased uncle, longs for affection and love, but does not receive them from selfish and cruel relatives. She is sent to school called Lowood. There she receives an education, there her moral appearance is formed under the influence of the abbess and friend. After 8 years of life in Lowood, Jane Eyre leaves school, having found a job as a governess by announcement in the newspaper - she is smart. Jane falls in love with his master - the gritty unsympathetic Mr. Rochester, he is strong, proud, surly, but kind, ardent and responsible. He fell in love with Jane Eyre for her mind, kindness, sincerity, directness, and lively character. She agreed to accept his hand and heart, but the wedding was not destined to take place -  all about the fact that Rochester is already married to a madman, and his wife secretly lives in his house in a locked room, upsets the wedding. Jane Eyre leaves the Thornfield estate at night, without money and things, she gets to the village, where three days of wandering lead her to the threshold of the house where the Rivers family lives - a brother and two sisters. They give her shelter, food, a job as a teacher at a local school. Subsequently, it turns out that Jane Eyre is the heiress of the fortune from the deceased uncle, and St. John, Diana and Mary Rivers are her cousins. St. John persuades Jane to become his wife and go with him as a wife and assistant missionary to India. She refuses, realizing that she will betray herself, having entered into a relationship with a person with whom she is not associated with love ties. She goes in search of Mr. Rochester, finds his house burned by a fire, finds out that his crazy wife set a fire and died. Rochester himself became blind due to injury. She comes to his new home, and marries him, gaining her place and love.

In general, I really liked the book, I love stories with a strong spirit of heroes with high morality, religiosity, determination and conscience. And if you like heroes with such views on life, I recommend you read it.

Scientists a long time ago found out and proved that in order to maintain clarity of mind throughout life, a person needs to constantly develop his brain. One of the most effective ways is to read regularly and thoughtfully. Nowadays, people are too busy and do not often find time to read books. It is easiest, taking a phone with social networks, a TV console or a netbook into your hands, to immerse yourself in the virtual reality of Internet space. However, those who read books have much more opportunity to climb the career ladder, build a strong family, live longer and look younger they look younger. Here are a few more reasons why you should read:

1. Reading extends our vocabulary and increases our level of literacy, since in books we can encounter words, phraseologisms or stable expressions that we do not often use in everyday speech. Based on this, you can easily communicate with people, you will be able to clearly, clearly and clearly express your thoughts. Perhaps you will have the talent of a storyteller, and it will be interesting to talk with you. So you will feel confident and increase self-esteem.

Reading gives a powerful impetus to the development of our memory and thinking, because reading works we reason to understand its basic meaning, in parallel we represent their characters, clothes and objects surrounding them.

2. Reading helps protect the brain from such a terrible 21st century disease as Alzheimer's (memory loss), since during reading the activity of the brain increases and improves its general state.

3. And there is also evidence that reading does not allow our brains to age and therefore it prolongs youth.

4. Reading can also be a panacea for stress relief. The content of the book text distracts from harsh realities and calms the psyche of a person. It is recommended to read preferably before bed to develop a habit and for your brain this may signal that it is time for you to sleep, and regular sleep is a guarantee that during the day you will be physically vigilant and mentally stable.

5. Reading can develop creative qualities, since in books you can find a lot of ideas for objectively solving problems.

6. Reading improves the concentration on the content of the product without being distracted by foreign objects. This skill is very useful in any other activity.
