Book Description

Grammardog Teacher's Guide contains 16 quizzes for this landmark feminist classic. All sentences are from the novel. Quizzes use language that describes the romantic settings of the Louisiana Gulf coast and New Orleans. Naturalism is reflected in figurative language and lush descriptions of "hot breath of the Southern night," "the voice of the sea is seductive," and "the touch of the sea is sensuous." Allusions blend Creole folklore, classical myths, Catholicism and classical music. Feminism is poetically expressed ("The bird that would soar above the level plain of tradition and prejudice must have strong wings").
