Answer:

Jane declined St. John's offer to travel to India because it will only serve his own interest and nothing for herself. Also, she did not really love him but rather look him as a brotherly figure.

Explanation:

"Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte narrates the story of Jane from childhood till she becomes a full grown woman and married.

St. John is her long lost cousin who had asked him to marry him. He had also asked her to accompany him to India as his wife as he is a missionary. He kept on trying to persuade her, which she refuses as kindly as she could possibly can. But this kind refusal only strengthens his resolve. He unyieldingly persists on his attempts, sometimes bitterly telling her about the plans and her life if she stays back. Diana also told her that if she accompanies him, it will only serve his own purpose and is of nothing meaningful for Jane. For John only considers her as a tool for his missionary purpose. When he prays for her during dinner, such is his eloquence of speech and talking that Jane was almost persuaded to give in to his proposal. But then she thought she heard the voice of Mr. Rochester calling her name. It made her believe that some unnatural thing had happened and she finally got over the spell of St. John's eloquence and persuasiveness. Moreover, Jane had always regarded him as a brother and not as a lover or even husband.

in lord of the flies chapter 5 what is the significance of the conversation between Ralph, Jack and piggy at the end of the chap
lord [1]

Explanation:

Summary: Chapter 5

As Ralph walks along the beach, he thinks about how much of life is an improvisation and about how a considerable part of one’s waking life is spent watching one’s feet. Ralph is frustrated with his hair, which is now long, mangy, and always manages to fall in front of his eyes. He decides to call a meeting to attempt to bring the group back into line. Late in the evening, he blows the conch shell, and the boys gather on the beach.

At the meeting place, Ralph grips the conch shell and berates the boys for their failure to uphold the group’s rules. They have not done anything required of them: they refuse to work at building shelters, they do not gather drinking water, they neglect the signal fire, and they do not even use the designated toilet area. He restates the importance of the signal fire and attempts to allay the group’s growing fear of beasts and monsters. The littluns, in particular, are increasingly plagued by nightmare visions. Ralph says there are no monsters on the island. Jack likewise maintains that there is no beast, saying that everyone gets frightened and it is just a matter of putting up with it. Piggy seconds Ralph’s rational claim, but a ripple of fear runs through the group nonetheless.
