W: yes, it was a required reading in American literature course I took last year. Even though it’s a fiction,(1)______________________. I don’t think I would survive 19th century frontier life.
M: Me either. Remember that story among the car roads? Garlen gives a vivid description of Julie Peterson, that young immigrant girl; she had to work on her family farm.
M: Ah ha.
W: Well, when Julie feels exhausted,(2)_________________________. And she is inspired to continue her own work.
W: I do remember that story. Garlen really captures the spirit of hard work that was so typical of immigrants and pioneers who settled the American Midwest. It’s difficult to imagine that. Nothing seems to discourage them for long.
M: I wonder how Garlen learn so much about the Midwest. Was he from Boston?
W: He lived in Boston. In fact, he studied and taught in Boston. But I think he was born in Wisconsin. He did grow up in the Midwest.
M: No wonder his description is so good,(3)___________________________.
W: Ok, let me know if there’re any interesting ones because I’d like to read them too.
