Louise Halfe, "The Boarding School"
Just like most of Louise Halfe’s work, "The Boarding School" is rich with vivid descriptions. She uses the ambiance in the cabin to project the image and emotions of the family before and after their conversation with the "white-skins". We know from the beginning of the poem that it is now fall and that the weather outside is cold. The whole family is inside the cabin, as evidenced by the "crackling fire" and the lit "coal oil lamp" ADDIN CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "author" : [ { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Halfe", "given" : "Louise", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" } ], "container-title" : "Bear bones and feathers", "id" : "ITEM-1", "issued" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "1994" ] ] }, "page" : "62", "publisher" : "Coteau Books", "publisher-place" : "Regina, SK", "title" : "The boarding school", "type" : "chapter" }, "locator" : "5, 8", "suppress-author" : 1, "uris" : [ "/documents/?uuid=ca91350f-c6b2-4c34-b3cf-421d9d339390" ] } ], "mendeley" : { "formattedCitation" : "(5, 8)", "plainTextFormattedCitation" : "(5, 8)", "previouslyFormattedCitation" : "(5, 8)" }, "properties" : { "noteIndex" : 0 }, "schema" : "https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json" }(5, 8).
