I have read this book twice before, once as a child, and again as a young adult. It was presented as the MOD choice on the group "On the Southern Literary Trail" by Tom, so I took the opportunity to start the New Year with a Pulitzer Prize winning novel that I already knew would be a wonderful read. I had forgotten just how great it really was.

The setting is Florida in the 1870's, before concrete and condos and retirees and tourists. Before Disney World and Universal and Gatorland. This was a Florida of wild, lush beauty, wild game aplenty to supplement meager farming, but also bears and wolves and rattlesnakes, and violent storms. The Florida Crackers that Rawlings knew so well were proud, hard-working people that only asked for help from neighbors when there was no other choice, and gave help in turn when it was needed.

The description of this book would have you believe that it's the story of a young boy who adopts a fawn, and while this is true, the real story is the relationship between a boy and his father. It's about the struggle to become a man in a hard world, the difficulty of doing the right thing, or even knowing what the right thing is at times. As Penny tells his son Jody, "Boy, life goes back on you. Life knocks a man down and he gets up and it knocks him down agin. What's he to do then? What's he to do when he gits knocked down? Why, take it for his share and go on."

Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings has written a book about the people she lived among and loved, the values they held dear, and the Florida scrub country that she described so beautifully. The dialect in the book is so real it reads like poetry. I found myself reading parts of it aloud just to hear it spoken.

Yes, this book is a classic in more ways than one. The nature writing is unsurpassed, the story is timeless, the characters will stay in your heart forever. We all need this book for the message. Stand up to life, do what needs to be done, but remember to remain a decent human being.

There just copy this and you should be okay

Young Jody Baxter lives with his parents, Ora and Ezra "Penny" Baxter, in the animal-filled central Florida backwoods in the 1870s. His parents had six other children prior to Jody, but they died in infancy which makes it difficult for Ma Baxter to bond with him. Jody loves the outdoors and loves his family. He has wanted a pet for as long as he can remember, yet his mother, Ora, says that they barely have enough food to feed themselves, let alone a pet.


the hunt for an old bear named Slewfoot that randomly attacks the Baxter livestock. Later the Baxters and the Forresters get in a fight about the bear and continue to fight about nearly anything. (While the Forresters are presented as a disreputable clan, the disabled youngest brother, Fodder-Wing, is a close friend to Jody.) The Forresters steal the Baxters' hogs and, while Penny and Jody are out searching for the stolen stock, Penny is bitten in the arm by a rattlesnake. Penny shoots a doe orphaning its young fawn in order to use its liver to draw out the snake's venom, which saves Penny's life.


Nature is a big deal for the Baxters—in fact, it pretty much determines their day-to-day life, and even their survival. So it's no wonder that the narrator spends a lot of time describing nature, even after destructive events. When the storm passes, we still see how "the black-jacks flamed, the scrub oaks glistened. The fragrance of the purple deer-tongue filled the road" And even when Jody is starving and in a daze after running away, we hear: "An early magnolia blossom was wax-white over him"In spite of everything that happens, Jody always feels at home in the scrub forest, and especially in Baxter's Island: "The wind howled cozily around the house. On still nights of moonlight, the foxes could be heard barking on the hammock" . As his Pa tells him when he comes back, "There's men seems made for the land. I'd be proud did you choose to live here and farm the clearin'" . When Jody agrees, it's clear that he was made for the land and that he's home.

Explanation:

<u>Restrictive clauses or phrases are those that modify or transform the meaning of the noun that precedes them tangibly</u> and that are such that without the noun present would make no sense with the sentence. They are usually u<u>sed without  any sort of punctuation.</u>

<u>Non restrictive clauses describe the noun they are preceded by but do not tangibly transform it </u>but only add to the overall description of the said noun. Thus,<u> they are used with commas as in the above case.</u>

Based on the excerpt from the Iroquois Constitution, how did the Iroquois view outsiders?
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

They were willing to accept anyone into the Nation as long as that person abided by the Iroquois Constitution.

Explanation:

The Iroquois Constitution is an oral narrative that presented the 'constitution' that will regulate the Iroquois people and the formation of the League of Six Nations. This document is also referred to as the "Great Law of Peace", and contains the 'constitution' of the people.

This constitution was framed by Dekanawidah, the Great Peacemaker, and his spokesman Hiawatha, and written on wampum belts. And one aspect of the constitution was the issue regarding outsiders. In relevance to this issue, the document stated:

<em>"If any man or any nation outside the Five Nations shall obey the laws of the Great Peace and make known their disposition to the Lords of the Confederacy, they may trace the Roots to the Tree and if their minds are clean and they are obedient and promise to obey the wishes of the Confederate Courier. they shall be welcomed to take shelter beneath the Tree of the Long Leave".</em>

These lines show how the Iroquois people were willing to welcome anyone as long as their constitution is followed and the person/ individuals abide by it.

Thus, <u>the correct answer is the third option.</u>
