1. What do the words "moralized legend" mean? What _is_ the moral of
the story?
2. This is a fanciful story. Do you like it as well as "The Gift of the
Magi" or "A Reward of Merit" in which there are real people?
3. Does Hawthorne show his personality and boyhood training in this
story as much as Mr. Garland showed his in "A Camping Trip"? (See
biographical sketches.)
4. What do you think was the word that Feathertop whispered in Mr.
Gookin's ear?
5. Which do you think more difficult to write, a story wholly from the
imagination like "Feathertop," or one from experience like "A Camping
Trip"?
