Summary Of Lyddie By Katherine Paterson

“Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. I sat at a table where rich food and wine in abundance, an obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not, and I went away hungry from the inhospitable board. The hospitality was as cold as the ices.

Have you ever been betrayed by your parents, and then realizing they did that to help you? Mattie. M. Worthen, Lyddie’s mother, didn’t come out in the book that often.

In Katherine Paterson’s novel Lyddie, the main character faces several difficult decisions as she tries to take care of her family after her father disappears from their small mountain farm in Vermont. When there is not enough food, her mother and younger sisters go to an uncle’s house while Lyddie and her brother Charlie spend a winter alone on the farm trying to keep it so the family can come home one day.

She’s so tired she can’t even make it upstairs, so she stumbles her way up the obstacle. “She had been coughing a dry, painful cough through the night that kept both Betsy and Amelia awake, though not Lyddie” (89). Lyddie is sick and she has an awful cough that keeps workers awake which isn’t good because they will get extremely overtired with staying up all night and working really hard all day. “They could not keep up the pace” (89). The boss sped-up the machines and none of the girls could keep up the pace the machines were going. If Lyddie signs he petition, things can get better.

The book “Lyddie” was made by Katherine Patterson. The book “Lyddie” is about a girl named Lyddie and her family. In Lyddie’s life she has to overcome struggles and obstacles.

Lyddie is struggling to breathe and is exhausted. This leads some to say that she must sign the petition. However, signing the petition could get her fired which will make it almost impossible to reunite back with her family. When talking to her roommates, Lyddie shares her own opinion on signing the petition. When talking, her roommates mention that if you sign the petition they wouldn't have to work longer. She says, “But we'd be paid less” (Paterson 91). This quote shows that signing the petition can decrease her payment which would make it even longer to reunite with her family. When Betsy finishes reading to Lyddie they talk about what they heard lately. Unfortunately, Lyddie has the possibility of getting blacklisted (Paterson 81). This quote shows that if she gets fired for signing the petition she could get blacklisted, which means that no other mills would hire her. Being blacklisted makes it difficult to reunite back with her family. It's tough working in the factory but Lyddie is strong enough to keep on working and

I am against the student councils suggestion to have an election for a "hero of the month". The student could access to private information, only 9 kids will be " hero of the month", and also they would miss a day of school.

Devin, in her email says (morning), "Amber Leitao missed the take home group yesterday due to an issue with her car. She never misses sessions with me so is it possible to not put a no show for yesterday so that I can put her in the February 2nd group." It's commendable that the patient attends to her counseling sessions since 12/12/16. However, her note contradicts her comment because it reports that the patient was stuck in traffic, not having a car issue. In addition, to reviewing Devin's note, the patient's work conference is not until 03/2/2017-03/3/2017 in NJ. Because of this, this will give the patient enough time to attend the THB group on the
