The book my literature group and I read was called The Bridge of San Luis Rey and the character I'm writing about is named Pepita.
Pepita was an orphan girl. At about the age of twelve, she was very smart and could read very well. She was being raised in the convent. The Abbess was training her to take over. Before that could happen she had to spend time in the outside world with Dona Maria. She was Dona Maria's servant and also like a daughter. Pepita played a very important role in this great book because she showed Dona Maria the real meaning of true love. Because of a letter Pepita wrote to the Abbess. In the letter Pepita talked about how much she missed the convent, the sisters, and especially the Abbess. It was kind of a whining letter. When Dona Maria read it at first she thought it was beautiful, but Pepita explained it was not ?brave?. Dona Maria finally under stood that she was being selfish, because she wanted her daughter to feel sorry for her. Dona Maria noticed that she was giving people gifts and almost anything they wanted just so that they would like her more.
The reason I believe she died on the Bridge of San Luis Rey is because she served her purpose in life by helping Dona Maria find the real meaning of love. Pepita also showed her to try and start her relationship over with her daughter Dona Clara. Pepita played her part in helping someone else and so, as she was crossing the bridge the accident we all know happened. |

What Type of Homeschooler Are You?
Galileo - If it is worth learning, it has been printed
in Latin. You want your children to have a
classical education. You teach the Trivium of
grammar,
logic, and rhetoric, and the Quadrivium
of arithmetic,
geometry, music, and astronomy.
Ancient history is
fascinating to you, and you
own several Greenleaf
