Literary Activities
1. Using a West Virginia map, try to determine where the story took place.
2. Read the following paragraph. Use the descriptive words to help you draw what you think the cabin may have looked like.
"The four room cabin allowed for no privacy. One interior door in the kitchen led to the living room. The door to the right in the living room led to the women's bedroom. From the women's room a door to the right led to the children's room and through that door to the right led back to the kitchen, making a tight circle. The cabin was a square log building, divided into four smaller, equal squares, with a doorway on each of the four inside walls. There were no hallways. Dusty, tattered curtains hung at each of the doorways, a vain attempt at privacy."
