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 Mrs Reed. Their house was called Gateshead Hall. The house was in Yorkshire, inthe north of England. My Aunt and Uncle Reed had two children a boy, John, and a girl, Eliza.

I liked my uncle Reed and he liked me. But in 1825, my uncle died. After that, I was very unhappy. MyAunt Reed died 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 Iheard my Cousin John's voice. Jane! Jane Eyre! Where are you?"
John shouted. He came into the room and he saw me.

Why are you reading muy book? He asked. Give it to me!
John took tyhe book. He hitmy head with it. I screamed John hit me again I pulled his hair and I kickeed him
Help Help Mamma John shouted. Jane Eyre is hurting me
Aunt Reed ran into the room . She pulled me away from John.Jon 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 hate me?
You don't like me i repliied. John and Eliza are unking to me. I want toleave gateshead Hall.
