What in me is dark
Illumin, what is low raise and support;
That to the highth of this great Argument
I may assert Eternal Providence,
And justifie the wayes of God to men.

"A White Heron"

To the young ladies of the Girls' Literature course:

I hope you've enjoyed the end of Anne of Green Gables. Here is the link to the short story I've assigned for you to read during my vacation: "A White Heron" by Sarah Orne Jewett. Remember to print out the story so that you can bring it to class for discussion (and so you can underline/take notes on it)!

To prepare for class, try to identify both the tone and the themes of the story. How is it similar to or different from Anne of Green Gables? Also, take note of how the character Sylvy compares to the character Anne Shirley.

Have a great week!
