Helen and Jane become fast friends after they meet on the orphanage playground.  Helen is a <u><em>foil</em></u> to Jane. Helen acts as a dramatic <em><u>foil</u></em>.  A foil is a character that has opposing characteristics to highlight specific characteristics in another character. A foil is when two characters have high contrasting traits, which make those specifics characteristics stick out.  

Where Helen trusts in happiness and a home in her next life in Heaven and tolerates the suffering at Logwood, Jane needs that happiness to be lived now on this Earth. Where Helen is submissive, Jane is headstrong. Helen easily forgives, while Jane holds onto grudges for long periods of time. Helen is humble. Helen is meant to be a foil for Jane, and to be an example for Jane. In contrast to Helen's personality, Jane has the total opposite approach to life.  

Jane Eyre does not have the same faith as Helen; she has trouble believing in a God, she's never seen and seeks to find happiness on earth.

What does the court determine ?
sasho [114]

Answer:

In Colorado custody cases, one of the first determinations the Court will make is where the children will reside most of the time. Terms used to describe the parent with primary custody include: “primary residential parent” or “primary care parent.” Because each case is unique, the definition of primary custody will vary from case to case, and when the parents share parenting time equally, one parent is designated the “primary residential parent” for purposes of calculating child support, tax exemptions, tax filing status, etc. hope this helps!!
