Tell us about a favorite
character from film, theater, or literature, with whom you’d like to have a
heart-to-heart. What would you talk about?
I would choose to have a heart-to-heart with Laura Ingalls Wilder (Feb
7, 1867-Feb 10, 1957). I loved her books as a child and later on the TV show
based on the books. I wanted to live like her.
I thought it would be such an interesting and fun life, and then I grew
up and realized that living as an early settler in the Midwest may have been
interesting, but very challenging as well. Because Mrs. Wilder lived during not
only the late 1800’s, but also into the mid 1900’s, I would like to talk to her
about the differences between the lifestyles of those times and see whether or
not she would have chosen an “easier” life of a later decade if she had the
opportunity to do so. I would also like
to know her life lessons and words for wisdom for the families, women, and
writers of today. Who would you choose?
