This section starts out with Lowood receiving a major upgrade. Since so many children had died of and or had become sick of Typhus, Lowood was under investigation. It was made quite apparent that the school was no being ran properly and that Mr. Brocklehurst was not the right man for the job. Many other children were dying. Other benefactors came in and decided to oversee the school. The conditions at the school improved greatly. The food was better, the sanitary conditions were better, and the general lifestyle of the whole school were better. Life at Lowood seemed to have progressed nicely. Jane was a student at Lowood for 6 years. At the end she became number one in the number one class. This means she was head girl, a great honor at the time. Then Jane becomes a teacher at Lowood for two years. She teaches many children and uses Miss Temple as a role model for herself. But then Jane decides she is ready for a change. One of the reasons is because Miss Temple gets married and leaves the school. She advertises in search of a job as a governess and accepts a position at a place named Thornfield. Before Jane leaves, she also meets Bessie. Bessie tells Jane of everything that happened at Lowood since she left. Georgina tried running away and getting married but failed. John fell into a life of debauchery and dissolution. We also learn that John Eyre came looking for Jane.
Overall we learn that conditions in Lowood change for the better. This is great because now this place is much better than the Reed's house. We also learn that Jane excels as a student. She became head girl, a great accomplishment. However it is a new phase of her life now and she wants some change. She will to wherever life takes her so that she will be able to have more experiences.
