Description Describe key features of the primary source and how they help to answer the research question at hand (usually the significance of a space or place to a text and/or its author or readers) The boarding houses where Gerty Farish and Nettie Crane live are viewed as quaint and welcoming. Gerty Farish lives in a boarding house that is more expensive that Nettie Crane’s, however the article, “Something New,” is relatable to both homes. The article describes a group of families that agree to rent a boarding house together because the cost would be cheaper than for all of them to live in different houses. In addition, the article comments on the fact that living in a boarding house gives the tenant access to servants, fuel, and other amenities at a lower cost. Gerty Farish’s boarding house is directly represented in the article, “Gerty’s little sitting-room sparkled with welcome when Selden entered it. Its modest ‘effects,’ compact of enamel paint and ingenuity, spoke to him in the language just then sweetest to his ear” (Wharton 125). The welcoming feeling of the boarding house is also represented in Nettie Crane’s house. Both locations are warm and welcoming. In addition, the article goes on to state that more individuals may decide to live in boarding houses as time goes on. This idea is important because it supports the presence of many characters living in boarding houses in The House of Mirth.
