Was
there an _if_ about it, a final word that quite changed the shading of the
picture? Is it usually thus? Were the Acadians naturally light-hearted?
_Despair. Hope. On Again._
Lesson XXI, Lines 1021-1077.
What effect had this scene on Evangeline? Why should she hear the sounds
of the sea? Why desire to leave the merriment? Explain 1028-1038. Stars
are here spoken of as God's thoughts--what else has the author called them?
Explain 1041-1044. Was the evening in harmony with Evangeline's mood? Why
was it the oaks whispered "Patience" and not the beeches or other trees?
Explain 1059-1061. Who were going in quest of Gabriel? Explain references of
"Prodigal Son" and "Foolish Virgin" and apply. How was Gabriel blown by
fate like the dead leaf? How long before they found traces of Gabriel? What
traces? What news finally? Where were they now?
SEC. IV.
_The Great West. The Shawnee. Confidences._
Lesson XXII, lines 1078-1164.
What are amorphas? Why describe thus this territory? Who were Ishmael's
children? Why bring out clearly the many dangers to be encountered here?
What is Fata Morgana? Who was the anchorite monk? Why taciturn? How could
they follow his footsteps? Who were _they_? How were traces of sorrow and
patience visible? Were they unusually touched by the Shawnee's story? Why?
Was it natural for Evangeline and the Shawnee to be drawn together? What
common bond had they? What was the effect of Evangeline's story? Were the
Shawnee's stories appropriate? Were they comforting or disheartening? What
was the snake that crept into Evangeline's thoughts? Was it lasting?
What would naturally dispell it? Are people more brave at night or in the
morning? More cheerful when? Why?
