Description

1.The McPheron brothers think they know nothing about young girls. Is that the case? Has their solitary life close to the earth handicapped them so far as human relations go, or has it, in fact, provided them with hidden advantages? Explain. 2.Few hints are given in the novel about what life might have been like for the Guthrie family before Ella left. What do you imagine that life to have been like?
