To know how the setting and atmosphere has changed from the family to the school.

At the beginning of Chapter Two Olemaun describes her family’s spring migration. How many schooners were traveling with them? How many families were on each schooner? How many days was the trip? What place did Olemaun feel was magical and why? What did Olemaun's mother say to her to try to convince her not to go to school? Why does Olemaun think her mother wants her to stay home from the school? Do you think that Olemaun is correct in her thinking? What do you think was in the white tube that Olemaun's mother bought her? What do you think that the hooked nose outsider meant when she told Olemaun's father that, "you certainly can't teach her the things she needs to know." Personification; Metaphor; Simile; Hyperbole
