1. Do you recognize Gopher Prairie as a type? Is Mr. Lewis's picture
photography, caricature, or the kind of portraiture that is art? Or to
what degree do you find all these elements?
2. Is the main interest of the book in the story? in the
characterization? in the satire? or in an element of propaganda?
3. What is to be said of the constructive theory of living proposed by
the heroine? Is it better or worse than the standard that prevailed
before she went to Gopher Prairie to live?
4. Explain the success of the book. What, if any, elements of permanent
value do you find? What conspicuous defects?
