How does Ruth's view differ from Mr. Thorpe's view
about where the Thorpe family will stay?
Read the excerpt from "New Land, New Life"
"Nonsense," said Ruth sternly. "The nearest town is a
week away by horseback with all due respect, Mr.
Thorpe, you're in homesteading country now. We take
care of our own. There isn't a homesteader within one
hundred miles of here who has survived these parts
without jumping at the chance for help when it's
offered"
O Ruth thinks the Thorpe family should live in a nearby
home, but Mr. Thorpe wants them to leave.
O Ruth thinks the Thorpe family should stay at her
home, but Mr. Thorpe wants them to leave
O Ruth thinks the Thorpe family should camp out near
her home, but Mr. Thorpe wants them to live inside
O Ruth thinks the Thorpe family should return to the
city, but Mr. Thorpe thinks they should build a home
Mr. Thorpe nodded uncomfortably. Ruth could see that
he was a man who was used to having control over a
situation. This was a possibility in the bigger cities, but
out here on the prairie, there was no such thing
nearby
