Now that you have completed this Webquest, I would hope that you have a deeper understanding of  who Robert Newton Peck was and how his personal life is reflected in this autobiographical novel.  I would hope that you have an understanding of the Shaker religion so that when you are reading the novel, you will have a better understanding of the character of Robert and the values he is taught.  The setting of a story (time and place) should be clearer for you after having studied Vermont, Rutland, Baseball in the 1930's, Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys.  Finally, I hope that you have a better appreciation for a pig.
 

Before you begin the novel, I found an "Anticipation Guide" in a KIDREACH Online Reading Center Site.  The following questions are used to introduce issues and ideas that you may confront when you read this novel.  They are designed toencourage you to think.  I have pasted the 9 questions onto a page for you to print out so that you may look at your answers when you finish reading the novel to see if you feel differently at the end.
