. What is Sarah Jewett suggesting when she writes about Sylvia's increasing attraction to the hunter in "A White Heron"?
qaws [65]
I think the answer is that Sylvia is experiencing falling in love. She is extremely attracted to the hunter, and might be actually falling in love with him, but the important thing here is that she doesn't follow her physical attraction, she follows her philosophical learnings.
