We explored the conventional wisdom that non fiction is always "the truth." I discussed how the people of Cross Creek depicted in the novel often had a different version of the events than those portrayed in the book. We then studied how the author , unaware of the cultural values of Cross Creek , may have been seen as callous or simply nosey. We examined how the author explains her actions in not properly maintaining her shambled tenant house and discussed whether her penitent attitude is genuine . We further noted the motif of materialism not leading to fulfillment. Last, we reviewed Aiden's vocabulary work which was very good today.
