Journal Entry # 17

"I was left there alone-winner of the feild. It was the hardest battle i had ever fought, and the first victory i had ggained:i stood awhile on the rug, where Mr. Brocklehurst had stood, and enjoyed my conquerors' solitude." Page 40.

-she should enjoy it. she just showed her opresser that she was no longer affriad of her or cared what she thought of her. most of her curage comes from the fact that she knows that she will be leaving soon. still it is amazing that a 10 year old had the courage to talk that way to an abusive adult. the language she uses is also very interesting to me. when i was 10 i knew how to talk back and prove someone wrong when they were but i couldnt do it like THAT!
