How do the elevated diction and elaborate syntax contrast with the feelings of the narrator in paragraphs 11-12?

"I had my own reasons for being dismayed at this apparition; too well I remembered the perfidious hints given by Mrs. Reed about my disposition, &c.; the promise pledged by Mr. Brocklehurst to apprise Miss Temple and the teachers of my vicious nature. All along I had been dreading the fulfillment of this promise,--I had been looking out daily for the "Coming Man," whose information respecting my past life and conversation was to brand me as a bad child for ever: now there he was.

He stood at Miss Temple's side; he was speaking low in her ear: I did not doubt he was making disclosures of my villainy; and I watched her eye with painful anxiety, expecting every moment to see its dark orb turn on me a glance of repugnance and contempt. I listened too; and as I happened to be seated quite at the top of the room, I caught most of what he said: its import relieved me from immediate apprehension."

Basically what is happening here is a man, Mr. Brocklehurst, is coming to where Jane is. Mr. B knows something that Jane did in the past and she is scared because he promised that he would tell what she did. This is bad because the people around here don't know her "villainy" and so they would shun her if they knew what she had done. Her mood in this is scared and meek. 

This mood is contrasted by a very complex and educated diction and syntax. She uses a very extravagant diction throughout but when her character is called into question she starts to increase the complexity of her language. Whatever she did probably made her look like a street orphan and she didn't want to seem like that to the audience so she tries to appear educated. She uses words like villainy to describe what she did which makes it seem more sophisticated. A villain normally has a plan and therefore has some sort of thought and effort put into what they did. She is once again trying to make the bad things she did look more educated. She feels like the audience is looking down on her so she uses words they would likely not know to make them feel less than her. This is her defense mechanism.

Little Picture:
This picture shows two women clutching at a purse. They dont looke entirely human. They both have very pale and sharp features.They have large frizzy hair. They look pretty similar. all the colors are pretty bland and there is a faint shadow/highlight around the two models. They are wearing almost the exact same shirt and very similar pants.

Big Picture:
This is saying that the only way you can stand out is with this purse. Both women look identical and the only thing that is different is the purse. This ad is saying that the purse will also make everyone jealous. Which ever women didn't have the purse to begin with wanted it so bad that she attacked the other woman to get it. This is playing off of humans need to stand out.

Intended audience:
The intended audience is social climbers. Both of these woman are wearing a lot of makeup. This is because they were not born beautiful. They have to find other things to make themselves looks beautiful. They also are doing what is considered beautiful my society. Both of them are wearing what is likely to be what is currently "hip". They don't naturally have power or friends or beauty so they have to find things. This ad is saying that the purse will set you apart from these people. It will make actual rich people think you are cool and rich too.

1. Since my name is a family name I have to assume it has a lot of importance, but I wouldn't say that it defines me.  I know that my dad's grandfather was the first and now I am the fourth. I also have a picture that hangs in my room with my name and my coat of arms. Although, I know it is a family name I have no idea where it comes from. I've been told Leverett is old French for rabbit so I have to assume I am a decedent of French knights or royalty but that doesn't really define me either. I think today with how mobile our societies are, we don't attach as much weight to the name of someone. We are judged by what we accomplish not what our ancestors have.

2. A time I have had a dilemma of being part of two things is in wrestling. In wrestling, whenever you win or lose a match it adds or subtracts anywhere from 2 to 6 points to the match score. At the end of the match, when all 14 weight classes have wrestled, the team with the highest match score wins. This make you have to think about how you win and how you lose. I have had to wrestle state top tens, people who were much better than me so my team wouldn't lose as many match points. This is a hard thing to do because I don’t really have a chance of beating these people. This means my first instinct is to not fight as hard because all it will do is delay the match. But, since my team needs me I have to fight through it.

Another interesting dilemma is when the team needs you to win but it has to be by a pin. I have been in a position where If I win my match by decision, my team will lose so I have to pin my opponent. This means that I have to put myself in riskier situation, risking my win, so that my team has a chance at winning. This is not as vexing a dilemma since I benefit from both outcomes so I have no reason not to try to win for my team, but it is still interesting to look at how different motives affect our actions.
