    For "Old Plantation Days: Being Recollections of Southern Life Before the Civil War" by Nancy Bostick De Saussure, the most fitting BISAC (Book Industry Standards and Communications) category would be "HISTORY / United States / Civil War Period (1850-1877)." This category encompasses works that delve into the era surrounding the Civil War, including personal narratives and recollections that provide insights into daily life, societal norms, and the social fabric of the time. Given the book's focus on recounting life in the Southern United States before the outbreak of the Civil War, this classification helps to situate it within a broader historical context for readers and researchers interested in the period.

    "The Ugly Duckling"  is a literary fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. Andersen lavished great care on this story, spending a year perfecting it. It was first published in 1844. 
    A mother duck hatches six pretty little ducklings. A seventh bird is hatched. He is homely. The other ducks abuse him. He runs away. He is given a home by an old woman. Her cat and hen do not like him. He runs away again. Winter comes and a kind farmer gives him a home. The little bird almost dies. Spring comes. The "ugly duckling" has grown into a beautiful swan. The other swans welcome him as their own. They bow to him. He is happy for the first time in his life.
    The moral of the tale: "it does not matter if you were born in a duck yard if you have lain in a swan's egg." 
    Andersen considered the story "a reflection of my own life."

    I have strung these things together on a slight enough thread; but as the things themselves are slight, it is possible that the thread (and the metaphor) may manage to hang together. These notes range over very variegated topics and in many cases were made at very different times. They concern all sorts of things from lady barristers to cave-men, and from psycho-analysis to free verse. Yet they have this amount of unity in their wandering, that they all imply that it is only a more traditional spirit that is truly able to wander. The wild theorists of our time are quite unable to wander. When they talk of making new roads, they are only making new ruts. Each of them is necessarily imprisoned in his own curious cosmos; in other words, he is limited by the very largeness of his own generalization. The explanations of the Marxian must not go outside economics; and the student of Freud is forbidden to forget sex. To see only the fanciful side of these serious sects may seem a very frivolous pleasure—and I will not dispute that these are very frivolous criticisms. I only submit that this frivolity is the last lingering form of freedom.
