ANDERSON* Fifty years after the publication of Laura Ingalls Wilder's first book. Little House in the Big Woods (1932), that volume and eight succeeding volumes of the author's writings are American classics. The "Little House" books have been read, reread, trans- lated, adapted, and admired by multitudes world-wide. Wilder's books, which portray the frontier experience during the last great American expansionist era, "have given a notion of what pioneer life was like to far more Americans than ever heard of Frederick Jackson Turner."'

  • Little House in the Big Woods Laura Ingalls Wilder Summer Reading
    Laura Ingalls Wilder Summer Reading Program Little House in the Big Woods “Once upon a time, sixty years ago, a little girl lived in the Big Woods of Wisconsin, in a little gray house made of logs.” ith those words, Laura Ingalls Wilder began her first book about her childhood. Little House in the WBig Woods was published in 1932. It is set in the “Big Woods” near Pepin, Wisconsin when Laura was four years old. She describes her first home as a simple, cozy log cabin surrounded by woods that stretched, “as far as a man could go to the north in a day, or a week, or a whole month.” The Ingalls family had several relatives living on other farms in the Big Woods. We meet several of them in this book, and some of them are mentioned in books later in the series. Here’s a quick who’s who of Little House in the Big Woods: • Laura Ingalls, born 1867 • “Pa,” Charles Ingalls, born 1836 • “Ma,” Caroline Ingalls, born 1839 • Mary Ingalls (Laura’s elder sister), born 1865 • Carrie Ingalls (Laura’s baby sister), born 1870 • Uncle Peter, brother of Charles Ingalls • Aunt Eliza, wife of Peter and sister of Caroline Ingalls • Peter, Alice, and Ella, children of Peter and Eliza, Laura’s double first cousins • Grandpa and Grandma, parents of Charles Ingalls • Uncle George, younger brother of Charles Ingalls • Aunts Ruby and Docia, younger sisters of Charles Ingalls • Uncle Henry, older brother of Caroline Ingalls • Aunt Polly, wife of Henry and younger sister of Charles Ingalls • Charley, son of Henry and Polly, Laura’s double first cousin.

  • Negotiating Traditional Gender Roles in Laura Ingalls Wilder’S Little Town on the Prairie Maria Angelina Chandra Titien Diah Soelistyarini
    Negotiating Traditional Gender Roles in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little Town on The Prairie Maria Angelina Chandra Titien Diah Soelistyarini ABSTRACT This paper attempt to examine how women negotiated traditional gender roles in the nineteenth century America as depicted in Wilder’s novel Little Town on the Prairie. In order to reveal how Laura Ingalls, the main character, accepts or refuses to assume the traditional gender roles, this study analyzes the characterization of Laura Ingalls using Feminist literary criticism. Laura’s negotiation is examined by comparing her portrayal in the novel with the ideal roles of women in the nineteenth century proposed by Wollstonecraft and Beecher and Stowe. This study reveals that throughout the novel Laura has made an effort to negotiate with traditional gender roles by accepting some of the patriarchal rules, while at the same time refusing some others. On the one hand, Laura fits some criteria of an ideal woman proposed by Beecher and Stowe as proponents of traditional gender roles. On the other hand, Laura also fits some other criteria of an ideal woman proposed by Wollstonecraft as an opponent of traditional gender roles. Keywords: Traditional Gender Roles; Negotiation; Ideal Roles; Nineteenth Century Women; Feminism 1. Introduction Little Town on the Prairie is the seventh book of Little House series written by Laura Ingalls Wilder based on her childhood in Wisconsin, USA. Considered as a masterpiece in classic American children’s literature, Wilder’s Little House series have become an interesting topic for academic research. In a study entitled Constructing the Little House: Gender, Culture, and Laura Ingalls, Romines discusses all the books in Little House series and dedicates one chapter for Little Town on the Prairie.

  • To See Again Better... As Before” by Rev
    “To See Again Better... As Before” By Rev. Elizabeth D. McLean, Prince of Peace Presbyterian Church 10-14-18 Based upon Mark 10:46-52; Hebrews 4:12-15 In the midst of our conflicts, and underlying our collective outrage these days, there is a yearning in our country and in much of the world. Have you felt it too? As much as we all want our side, whatever that side is, to win, and as much as we are sure with every fiber of our being that our views of the world are the right ones not the wrong ones, there is still a deep longing in the hearts of many for a time when we were not so preoccupied with winning and saw each other differently. We yearn for that time when we saw some of our dearest friends and family just as Betty or Steve, our sister-in-law or father-in-law, not as people who voted for the one we hate, or who believe things that we now find incomprehensible or wrong. We yearn for a time when we saw the people on our streets as allies, people in our towns as neighbors, and people in our country as people “like us,” even though we know intellectually they weren’t really like us. We did not all agree, and were not all the same back then, whenever our “then” was – two years ago, twenty, or seventy. We know that everything was not perfect. There were plenty of people who were labeled and limited in cruel and unjust ways then too.

    GRAVE MATTERS CEMETERY TOUR Editor’s note: FHFG presented Grave Matters Cemetery Tour on October 7, 2017. During this tour, actors – dressed in attire from the era – portray former Forest Grove area residents. FHFG and 2017 the author of this script retains all rights to this script. Written permission is required for using any parts of this script. Nellie Winfield Owens Kirry, Teacher August 2, 1869 – November 2, 1949 Portrayed by Chloe Lockett and Liza Schade Script written by: Ginny Mapes Background: Names are often changed by writers for obvious reasons. Laura Ingalls Wilder, in her later years, decided to write the story of her life and her family’s pioneering experiences. She bought a supply of Fifty Fifty and Big Chief tablets along with Number 2 lead pencils. Then, she penciled the title “Pioneer Girl” across the cover of the first tablet and started writing, “Once upon a time . .” Her manuscript eventually filled six tablets and spanned 16 years of Wilder’s life. Oleson was the name she selected for the Owens family. Nellie Oleson, was the fictitious name for Nellie Owens. When On the Banks of Plum Creek was published in 1937, Nellie Owens Kirry was 69 years old and within the next few years in a home for the aged. She never knew that her family’s early years in Walnut Grove would provide material for the book and that she, herself, would be a leading character, Nellie Oleson. In a television series, "Little House on the Prairie," created from the Wilder books, Nellie the character kids loved to hate.

  • Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie
    Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie Questions for Socratic Discussion by Alexandre Winston Table of Contents Introduction 3 Quick Card 5 Questions about Structure: Setting 6 Questions about Structure: Characters 9 Questions about Structure: Conflict and Plot 15 Questions about Structure: Theme 20 Questions about Style 22 Questions about Context 24 Suggestions for Writing Assignments 25 Story Charts 26 Teacher Guide: Little House on the Prairie 2 © 2016 The Center for Literary Education Introduction This teacher guide is intended to assist the teacher or parent in conducting meaningful discussions of literature in the classroom or home school. Questions and answers follow the pattern presented in Teaching the Classics, CenterForLit’s two-day literature seminar. Though the concepts underlying this approach to literary analysis are explained in detail in that seminar, the following brief summary presents the basic principles upon which this guide is based. The Teaching the Classics approach to literary analysis and interpretation is built around three unique ideas which, when combined, produce a powerful instrument for understanding and teaching literature: First: All works of fiction share the same basic elements — Context, Structure, and Style. A literature lesson that helps the student identify these elements in a story prepares him for meaningful discussion of the story’s themes. Context encompasses all of the details of time and place surrounding the writing of a story, including the personal life of the author as well as historical events that shaped the author’s world. Structure includes the essential building blocks that make up a story, and that all stories have in common: Conflict, Plot (which includes exposition, rising action, climax, denouement, and conclusion), Setting, Characters and Theme.
