Authors note: This essay is a cause and effect on how back in history, wars and battles effect real life people. I am reviewing the book “Just Jane” by William Lavender, and this novel is very realistic relating to 1776.
Being a wealthy orphan is not something you see every day. Most situations are very different from Jane’s situation. She is an orphan from England and had to move to America due to the current battles. Jane is in very desperate need of a guardian, but lucky for her she has many family members in America, but not so lucky, her whole family is being torn apart which is a horrible thing. This is caused as well because all the talk of the upcoming war and rebellion. As the arguing goes on, Jane matures in search of what to believe, and how to act simply to find who she really is.
While having to go through living with her struggling family, she is still grateful they took her in. Her Aunt and Uncle Robert and Clarissa are English just like Jane, and even though they have lived in America for years they will always remain English. The climax of the story is the war. It has nearly broken the family apart, but Lady Jane is strong. She wants to remain in touch with all her family members; she remembers it is a new life for her to realize what she believes about life.
As the war goes on, Jane’s family realized that the war has ripped their family apart. They used to be close, but because of certain changes, the way people talked everything had gone wrong and went way different than planned. While the hard times went on, Jane wasn’t alone. She became friends with a schoolteacher and found joy and comfort within their friendship.
