3rd grade lesson 21 Sarah, Plain, and Tall Study Guide – Flashcards

She lives in Maine and Papa had to travel by wagon and train.

Anna was hopeful for Sarah's arrival that she would like it on the farm. Caleb was nervous about Sarah's arrival, and he worried about whether he was clean enough or too clean.

Papa thought Seal would be living in the barn so he could eat the mice.

Sarah said that the land or plains roll a little like the sea.

Anna uses these words to tell the story because she is the narrator or the person telling the story.

Papa and Anna were quiet and shy around Sarah, but Caleb talked to her from morning until the light left the sky.

Anna likes Sarah so far, but she is still trying to figure out whether she will stay for good and marry her Papa at the wedding during the summer. I have the same point of view, like Anna, because Sarah goes to pick flowers with the kids to hang upside down and dry to have during the winter.

Sarah scattered them around the fence and ground for the birds to use for their nests.

Papa is looking for a new wife because his children's mother died shortly after Caleb was born. Papa finds a new wife by putting an advertisement in the newspaper.
