    Post A Mill On the Floss

    I am currently reading this novel, and have recently received an assignment from my teacher.

    Here is the question;

    How does Elliot convey to the reader the kind of community/society/family life leved by the Dodsons and Tullivers? You need to consider style, technique, description, devices, details, dialogue, analysis, author's commentary and thoughts. Give evidence for your comments by referring closely to the text.

    Can anybody shine some light on this? Or perhaps point me towards the flashlight of knowledge?

    First complete reading it, and then ask any questions.
    I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.

    I can only sympathise with you, Mr Schutte, as this is one of my least favorite books as well. However, joys of being a student, I guess; you will have to do the work (while my copy is buried in the garden)!

    Why don't you share some of your thoughts with us on the questions you ask above and then some of us might be able to offer you better help.
