CONTRASTSThe first five chapters of the novel emphasize the differences between Kit and the Puritans of Connecticut. These differences are the basis for much of the conflict in the story. Fold a sheet of paper in half lengthwise to create a 2-column chart.

AFTER READING - WRITTEN RESPONSE
Author’s typically try to create a protagonist with whom readers will sympathize. Kit is a complicated protagonist. Most of you probably sympathize with her in some ways, but not in others. Explain, using specific details from the text, what about her is worthy of sympathy and what is not. Then, discuss why the author may have chosen to create such a complicated main character.
