Explanation Supposing Books Little Town on the Prairie (Little House #7)

About two years ago I started rereading the Little House books. It started as a whim after visiting Minnesota and driving by one of the places where Laura Ingalls used to live. I had read these books with my mother when I was a child, and I grew up with the popular TV show based on the series, so there was a hefty dose of nostalgia whenever I reread one of the books.

Now that nostalgia has become even more powerful, because book seven, Little Town on the Prairie, was the first one that I read aloud to my mother. My mom suffers from brain cancer and has trouble communicating, but she was so delighted to hear these stories again! She smiled and laughed, and enjoyed looking at the illustrations of life on the prairie.

Little Town takes place in De Smet, South Dakota, when Laura was 15. She wants to study hard so she can earn a teacher's certificate and help pay for her blind sister, Mary, to go to college. Laura gets her first taste of adulthood when she gets a job working as a seamstress in town, and she also gets attention from a young man named Almanzo Wilder. The stories are mostly sweet and charming, with the exception of mean Nellie Oleson and a bad teacher. Luckily Pa and Ma always have some wisdom and comfort to give.

Overall this was a joy to read, and I was happy to again share this story with my mother.

Favorite Quote
"This earthly life is a battle," said Ma. "If it isn't one thing to contend with it's another. It has always been so, and it always will be. The sooner you make up your mind to that, the better off you are, and the more thankful for your pleasures."

Piece Regarding Books Little Town on the Prairie (Little House #7)

Reread from childhood. I loved it then and I loved it now. It's not my favorite from the series, but this is where Laura and Almanzo started dating and is super cute. It's a light read which I really needed right now.*WARNING* This book has the only offensive scene in the whole series that I can remember. Pa performs dressed in blackface and is referred to as "Darky." Considering these books are based on the author's real life in the 1800s, I can look the other way. As a kid I just remember

Love this book just as much as always. Good ol' American heart, ethics, and Christianity <3 So fascinating to see what we were like 100+ years ago.

Always a comfortable treat to read--one of my favorites in the series.

Don't say I did nothing of value during this pandemic, for I explained the super problematic minstrel show in this book and its racism to an 11-year old. And this book is still a delight and a great ethnography of its time and an excellent read with my middle schooler.

Why, why, why did I never read this when I was younger? Well, I missed out! But I'm VERY happy to have read this now. I was enthralled with the classroom drama that happened while Miss Wilder (Almanzo's sister) was teaching school. I sure sympathized with her! Although she brought a lot of her troubles upon herself with her "we will all be happy and friends all the time" style of classroom management.This is just a wonderful continuation of the story told in The Long Winter. And even though it

Better than the torrid slug of The Long Winter, but it has three major points against it: - The Ingallses repeatedly eat tomatoes with sugar and cream as if this is a normal thing, and not, in fact, disgusting- The uncomfortable blackface minstrel bit, hey-o!- The continued character assassination of Eliza Jane.The last one is a particular sticking point for me. Goddamn it, does Laura hate Eliza Jane, and goddamn it does it seem completely unjustified. She hates her because she's..um, too nice?

Over two car trips we finished listening to the wonderful Cherry Jones read book seven in the popular classic Little House series, as Laura Ingalls grows into a young (15-eyar-old, but mature for her age, given what she has been through) lady. In earlier books, ones I really prefer, such as The Long Winter, the Ingalls family was nearly starving, struggling to create the homestead and stay alive, but in this one, set in 1888 DeSmet, South Dakota, it is really about how a group of people begin
