Helen is admired by Jane because Helen is intelligent and too religious. The fact that she believes in God makes her cope with the suffering at school. She thinks that you must love your friends and enemies as well. She is a mentor for Jane; she advises and helps Jane during this difficult time at Lowood. However, when Helen dies of consumption because  of the unhealthy conditions at school, Jane 's view of life changes. Helen's death makes Jane start her journey of self-discovery. Jane rejects self-sacrifice in the name of religion.

aksik [14]
Thomas paine's common sense was important because it instigated the American colonist to fight for the independence. 
The pamphlet of common sense was written in 1776, in the time which was shaping the American revolution war. The first battle of independence happened in 1775, yet there was no firm determination among some colonist who were hoping reconciliation of any kind with Britain, because there was no serious hatred towards the monarchy system.
But, in 1776, the pamphlet published where it stated ideas on why monarchy is bad model of governing system and American colonies must be free. Thus, the common sense published in 1776 build up independence sentiments, convincing the undecided colonies for independence. After six months of the common sense publication, independence was declared in July, 1776.
