Girls' Literature: "A New-England Nun"

Ladies,

Have a marvelous spring break! Here is the short story I'd like you to read over the next two weeks.

"A New-England Nun" by Mary Wilkins Freeman

Remember to print the story out so you can bring it to class!

When you're done reading, answer the following questions in 4-5 sentence paragraphs to turn in for homework.

1. What is your reaction to Louisa Ellis? Do you like her, hate her, or have mixed feelings? Why?
2. Do you think Louisa made the right decision concerning her marriage to Joe? Why or why not?
3. Continue Louisa's story. What happens to her in the next few weeks? In the next ten years? On her deathbed?
