THE LOONS 课后习题答案/answer
I .
1)The Tonnerres were poor The basis of their dwelling was a small square cabin made of poles and mud, which had been built some fifty years before. As the Tonnerres had increased in number, their settlement had been added, until thc clearing at the foot of the town hill was a chaos of lean-tos, wooden packing cases, warped lumber, discarded car tyres, ramshackle chicken coops, tangled strands of barbed wire and rusty tin cans.
2)Sometimes, one of them would get involved in a fight on Main Street and be put for the night in the barred cell underneath the Court House.
3)Because she had had tuberculosis of the bone, and should have a couple of months rest to get better.
4)Her mother first objected to take Piquette along because she was afraid that the girl would spread the disease to her children and she believed that the girl was not hygienic. She then agreed to do so because she preferred Piquette to the narrator's grandmother, who promised not to go along with the family and decided to stay in the city if the girl was taken along.
5)The cottage was called Macleod, their family name. The scenery there was quite beautiful with all kinds of plants and animals at the lakeside.
6)The narrator knew that maybe Piquette was an Indian descendant who knew the woods quite well, so she tried to ask Piquette to go and play in the wood and tell her stories about woods.
7)Because Piquette thought the narrator was scorning and showing contempt for her Indian ancestors, which was just opposite to her original intention.
8)Because the narrator felt somewhat guilty. Piquette stayed most of the time in the cotta
ge and hardly played with the narrator. At the same time, she felt there was in Piquette something strange and unknown and unfathomable.
9)That was the very rare chance she was unguarded and unmasked, so that the author could perceive her inner world.
10)Her full name is Vanessa Macleod.
11)Just as the narrator's father predicted, the loons would go away when more cottages were built at the lake with more people moving in. The loons disappeared as nature was ruined by civilization. In a similar way, Piquette and her people failed to find their position in modern society.

4)I only knew her as a person who would make other people feel ill at ease.
5)She lived and moved somewhere within my range of sight (Although I saw her,
I paid little attention to her).
6)If my mother had to make a choice between Grandmother Macleod and
Piquette, she would certainly choose the latter without hesitation, no matter whether the latter had nits or not.
7)Normally, she was a defensive person, and her face was guarded as if it was wearing a mask. But when she was saying this, there was an expression of challenge on her face, which, for a brief moment, became unguarded and unmasked. And in her eyes there was a kind of hope which was so intense that it filled people with terror.
8)She looked a mess, to tell you the truth; she was a dirty, untidy woman, dressed in a ve
ry careless way.
9)She was brought in court several times, because she was drunk and disorderly as one could expect.
