Brandon Scherr 8/28/13 Jane is 10 years old. Mr. Reed was Jane?s Uncle, he died and told his wife to keep caring for Jane as her own. They were her ?family.? Aunt Reed, the kids, and the servants all treated her terribly, except for Bessie. Jane hid behind a curtain to read her book. John got mad at her and threw a book at her behind the curtain, it hit her in the head and they started fighting. Jane was blamed for the fight, and was sent to the Red Room. While Jane is in the Red Room, she sees a bright light and assumes that it is her Uncle Reed?s ghost. She starts screaming for someone to let her out. Mrs. Reed just thinks that Jane wants attention so she does not let Jane out of the room, and eventually Jane passes out due to exhaustion.
