Homework Help: English: Books, Novels & Plays: Jane Eyre

"Where is my lunch box?" "Has anyone seen my glasses?" "I know my keys are around here somewhere!"

Have you every heard or said these lines before? Well, you should because we lose things everyday. From money to people we love, nothing lasts forever. Whenever we do lose things, it always seems to be a big disaster. We feel sad, mad, angry or flustered. Even though we experience loss daily, we don't treat each situation the same.

In the poem "One Act", the author lost his mothers watch and three loved houses. Both were a disaster and I'm sure they came with many consequences. It probably affected his life dramatically.

The author also goes on to say that he also has lost two cities, (such as moving away) and loved ones. He misses them, but they weren't disasters. Even though it was a lose, he got over it quickly and went on.

At the time when you lose things, it seems that it can be very big and disastrous and you might think that you wont find another like it, but after some time you realize that it isn't so hard and you can live without it.

Since we lose things each day, and go through disasters, we become very accustomed to losing things. Therefore, one art of losing things isn't hard to master.
