Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth, 1807-1882

"Evangeline with Notes and Plan of Study"

What made the world look
bright to her? Does one's state of mind determine to a large extent how the
world looks? Does the world look the same at night and in the morning? When
are we most likely to see it as it is? Was Gabriel forgotten? What were the
lessons her life had taught her? What became of her love? How did she act
practically upon her feeling? What was the word or the thing that drew her?
She shows what quality 1291-1293? What is a Sister of Mercy? Why had she
not joined the Order before? Had she in a true sense been a sister of mercy
before joining the Order? Do you think she regretted the long struggle that
fitted her so well for this work?

_The Pestilence._
Lesson XXVI, Lines 1298-1342.

How did death flood life? What made the lake brackish? Why silver stream?
What is the usual cause of a pestilence? Why call it a scourge of his anger?
Where was the almshouse? Where is the spot now? This was an opportunity for
whom? What was the appearance of the sister? What occasioned it? Is what
we _are_ written in our faces? What morning did she visit the almshouse?
In what season? Had she a premonition that her quest was ended? Are
premonitions common? What was the effect of this feeling upon her? Why was
death a consoler?

_The Meeting.
