Read the passage from "Letter by a Swiss-German Immigrant to Pennsylvania (August 23, 1769)." Dearest Father, Brother, and Siste

r and Brother-in-law, I have told you quite fully about the trip, and I will tell you what will not surprise you—that we have a free country. Of the sundry craftsmen, one may do whatever one wants. Nor does the land require payment of tithes [taxes to support a local landlord, typical in Europe]. . . . The land is very big from Canada to the east of us to Carolina in the south and to the Spanish border in the west. . . . One can settle wherever one wants without asking anyone when he buys or leases something. . . . What does the author have in mind when he calls America a "free country"?

Explanation:

In "Letter by a Swiss-German Immigrant to Pennsylvania" America is the symbol for a free country. By this adjective "free" the author wants to explain how is America a place for living. Free means that everyone is welcome to come.  The author creates a picture of America, where you can settle without asking everyone, where there is a wide landscape, spacious land "from Canada to the east of us to Carolina in the south and to the Spanish border in the west".

One of the most important detail is there is no payment for taxes to land, but in Europe, you must pay. Free country for author means there are no obligations for living there. He thinks that America is promised land.

The poet states that the statue had been destroyed and what were left was its leg and head. But in contrast to that the picture has a full statue with the entire body. Also the poet has stated that the face has a permanent frown due to ordering always, but here it does not seem to be. So therefore that is the one detail not clearly shown by the poet.

The following short story, "Elsewhere," was written by Stephanie McClure and published in 2015. In this story a little girl, Zit
lina2011 [118]

In this story, we meet Zita, who is a girl with a very vivid imagination. When Zita slips out of her house, we are able to follow the thoughts that go through her head, which enables us to follow her train of thought.

Through these ideas, the author develops the setting of the story as well as Zita's character. We learn that she climbs unto a tree, and that the tree allows her to "jump and weave through the orchard." The use of words like "weave" by McClure creates a sense of vividness and motion. Moreover, Zita is described as jumping unto the roof and then scrambling up to her window. This description continues to develop the setting by explaining where everything is located. It also contributes to the characterization of Zita by describing her courage and agility.
