Sinopsis

In "The Girls of Central High on Lake Luna; Or, The Crew That Won," Gertrude W. Morrison delivers an engaging narrative that blends adventure and camaraderie among a group of young female protagonists. Set against the idyllic backdrop of Lake Luna, the story skillfully employs vivid imagery and lively dialogue, capturing the ethos of early 20th-century America. Morrison's work is emblematic of the 'Äòschool story'Äô genre, reflecting contemporary societal norms around girlhood, empowerment, and competition, while also subtly critiquing the restrictive gender roles of the time through the lens of youthful ambition and teamwork. Gertrude W. Morrison, an author with a keen interest in the dynamics of youth and education, produced this work as part of a series aimed at fortunate young readers of her time. Raised in a progressive milieu, she was well-versed in the values of perseverance and independence, which are evident in the narrative'Äôs central themes. Her background informs her desire to inspire a generation of girls to pursue their dreams and build lasting friendships. This charming tale is highly recommended for readers seeking an uplifting narrative interwoven with themes of friendship, teamwork, and the triumph of spirit. It serves not only as entertainment but also as an important cultural artifact that encourages the empowerment of young girls.

Mistress Mary - Mistress Mary...

Mary was the beloved daughter of a sailor and his wife who lived on a hill close to the sea. The rhyme calls her "Mistress Mary, quite contrary" because sad to say she was a contrary child often doing the exact opposite of what her mother and father advised for no reason but that she did not wish to follow their advice. But her parents loved her and knew that she would some day grow out of this peevish behavior. One day her father and brothers were to leave on a long sea journey and she asked him "	And how long will you be gone, papa?" He responded Why, just this, sweetheart," returned the sailor gravely; "all the time that it takes the cowslips and dingle-bells and cockle-shells to sprout from the ground, and grow big and strong, and blossom into flower, and, yes—to wither and die away again—all that time shall your brothers and I sail the seas. But when the cold winds begin to blow, and the flowers are gone, then, God willing, we shall come back to you; and by that time you may have grown wiser and bigger, and I am sure you will have grown older. So one more kiss, sweetheart, and then we must go, for our time is up." 
After he left, Mistress Mary decided to plant a garden of these flowers to know when her father and brothers would return and that garden is what the poem is talking about. But it did not happen as she expected! Oh no! Listen to this delightful story to see how Mary learned to not be so contrary.
