Living in a Hovel

Living in a Hovel

Farmington Chronicle

1896-11-26

The passage I picked reminds me of the hovel in Charlotte Temple. In the beginning, the author uses imagery to help the reader understand what the run down hovel looks like. I connected this to Charlotte Temple mainly because it includes a mother and a sick baby. But in the passage, the baby is the one that is sick and the mother is taking care of it. Whereas in Charlotte Temple, Charlotte was ill and then dies shortly after giving birth. I chose this because it includes two big factors in the hovel scene, a women and a baby.
