Things to review from our study of the book Sarah, Plain, and Tall.

*characters (look over the "flip book" in your folder)
*similes (compares two things using like or as
*setting (time and place)
*point of view (Anna is the person telling the story)
*problem in the story:  Caleb and Anna want Sarah to marry Papa and become their new mother, but Sarah misses the sea.  They think Sarah is going to leave.  
*Compare/Contrast (ways Maine and the prairie are similar and different
*Compare/Contrast  (ways life back then is different from life today)
*examples when Sarah was not a mild-mannered person (she says the cat will be in the house (page 19); she's not scared (page 30); cow pond (page 36)
*examples when Anna and Caleb are afraid that Sarah will leave (she missed the sea, her brother, and aunts. She also drove off in the wagon by herself).
*examples when Anna and Caleb think Sarah might stay (she said "winter" (page 23); she said "later" (page 25); she said "our dune" (page 32).
