set against the background of the wild land she came to love, therefore she became known for her depictions of the American frontier- again something that we see in “A Wagner Matinee”. The main characters in the story are Clark, who lives in Boston, and his Aunt Georgiana who gave up her life there to move to Nebraska. In her youth during a visit to rural Vermont, Georgiana met a very charing country boy who she became quite fond of, his name was Howard. He promoted her to make the move so they went West in search of their own piece of land and opportunities. This was the time of Westward expansion where many families were leaving the city and trying to make a life out on the frontier. The Nebraska farmhouse is described as a “…tall, naked house on the prairie, black and grim as a wooden fortress…”. As years passed Georgiana didn't understand what she’d have to give up when she followed Howard to Nebraska. As 30 years passed, Georgiana felt regret for leaving Boston. “She sat staring at the orchestra through a dullness of thirty years”. She had soon forced herself to forget what she left behind and start to accept that life in Nebraska was the only life for her. When she decided to go and visit her nephew Clark in Boston, he suggested to see a performance at the Music Hall. Since Georgiana had hardened herself to her reality, the concert hall transformed her, causing everything she left to start flooding back. “She preserved this utter immobility throughout the number from…

old tan house on McClure road is an open opportunity to have as much fun as you want, and as a kid I took advantage of that. I loved going out to just use my senses and explore. I would see how many different animals I could see or hear. I would listen to the birds hum their songs, and hear the chipmunks run aimlessly through the woods, cracking sticks every step of the way. Who knew such little animals could make so much noise! Sometimes I even thought they were bears! I never did see a bear.…

I think owning exoitic pets should not be allowed because they are to much to take care of. The owners have them for a little while, but when they get big they just dumped them off into the woods and they end up killing our birds and other animals. It isn´t a good idea to have these pets they are no good for us. They do nothing for us they just grow really big and they get annoying. Don't buy these pets they are nothing but trouble. These pets can get up to 20 feet long and when they are that…
