taught or supposed to swim. I think that a lot of us feel this same way. We know what’s right, and sometimes we do it and people judge us for it. Other times we don’t do the right thing because we know that people will judge us for it. Most of the time, people only live to be liked by others, but Jane knows better. Jane knows what is right and does it. Even if this means that she’s not American, she’s not English,---

-allowed to see them because her other family wants her to be on England's side. Jane still doesn't know for sure where she wants to be, but I think she is more on the American's side than anything. In this book I think Jane will find out who she is, and also who her true family is. She will most likely find out who will support her and encourage her for who she is, not for who they want her to be.

The war has officially started in this book. England ships are coming in and Americans shoot at them to prevent their coming. Jane meets the aunt and uncle she was forbidden to meet for various reasons, and she seems to like them a lot. They are on America's side in the war, where her other family is on the English side except for one of them. I believe she likes it much more with the Americans, but she is no longer-

Jane just wants to be herself which is a mix of all the three. Jane doesn’t know if she wants to be on the American side, even if that is where she lives. Jane doesn’t know if she’s even on England’s side. All she knows is that she is Just Jane.

this because women in America at that time didn’t have an education. It seems that all the choices she makes seem to tear her apart, making her wonder more and more, “Am I going to stand up for what I believe in or do whatever just to fit in?” I believe that Jane wishes that there were no labels at all, that you didn’t have to be from America, from England, or from the area that she lived with her grandfather.---

and she might not even be from the island she partly grew up on, but she for sure is Jane, even if that is it. Jane is brave and not afraid to stand up for what she thinks is right. After her parents died, she lived on the coastal area with her grandpa, where she was given an education, just as she was in England also. However, when she comes to America and tries to get an education, many people discourage her from--

South Carolina. In heart, she is truly from where she lived for some of her life with her grandpa, where she was free to swim, run, laugh, her life on a coastal area, where she learned to swim with her grandpa. On the way to America, a little girl drops her toy off the edge of the boat, and wanting to help, Jane jumps in after it to get it. This makes everyone think that she is wild because in America women weren’t--

This book is called “Just Jane,” and there coand learn. However, people think she doesn’t fit in for the ways she acts. Jane was raised for part of uld be many reasons for the title of it. Most people have heard the phrase “Plain Jane” but the Jane in my book is certainly not plain. She is torn between either being on America’s side or England’s in the Revolutionary War, which started soon after she moved to---
