#On the Banks of Plum Creek

[fictionadventurer]

Reading On the Banks of Plum Creek as a child: Wow, it's so great that Laura and Mary get to live in this awesome new house instead of that weird little underground dugout.

Reading On the Banks of Plum Creek as an adult: PA INGALLS!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR THIS!! The dugout is FINE!! You can wait a year until you actually HAVE a wheat crop and the money from it!! Why do you so shamelessly court disaster??

#little house #on the banks of plum creek #laura ingalls wilder #books #it's also shocking to realize that these books have plots #as a kid the plot is just 'stuff that happens' #it's just a bunch of episodes grouped together by the fact that they occur in the same place #so it's a surprise to find how the book so blantantly from the beginning sets up #'we need money i can't wait til we have money after the wheat crop we'll be rich' #'grasshopper weather? what's that?'

On the Banks of Plum Creek, by Laura Ingllas Wilder; Let the Hurricane Roar, by Rose Wilder Lane

I am putting these two together because they are essentially the same story, and also illustrates, at least to me, that Laura wrote pthe Little House books. As you read this ramble. Keep in mind. "Hurricane " was published in 1933, "Plum Creek" in 1937, but Laura wrote "Pioneer Girl" in *1930* and Rose not only helped her edit it, she typed the whole thing up after Laura finished writing it out long hand.

On the Banks of Plum Creek picks up after the Ingallses move away from Kansas. They settle into a dugout house on the banks of Plum Creek near Walnut Grove, Minnesota.

Caroline isn't enthused about living in a dugout, but Charles has big plans. He's going to plant wheat and he's going to build them a house with the profits. The weather is fine and mild and the wheat is coming up beautifully. The perspective price of wheat and the way the crop is looking inspires Charles to get the supplies for the house on credit and start building. All the while, life is happening. Laura learns some valuable lessons when it comes to minding her parents.

The family meets a Swedish couple and their daughter, who live near by, and eventually move into the fine new house Pa has built.

In the background people keep talking about how the weather is grasshopper weather. Laura doesn't know what that means, but it becomes clear soon.

Pa is over the moon about the wheat, and talks about it all the time. This crop will secure the family financially.

And then the grasshoppers come. They fly in in a cloud, dampening the sun. They decend on the area and eat everything. Grass, gardens, cloth, the wheat. After destroying the landscape, they laid their eggs meaning next year's crops were doomed as well. And then they all marched off and flew away.

Although the family does have a good Christmas because the church throws a party with gifts for the community, Pa must walk east to find work.

The next year is also plagued by grasshoppers and Pa has to make the trek east again. While the family is waiting for him, a blizzard hits. He makes it home to his frightened family in fairly good spirits because this cold means no grasshoppers for the next crop.

Laura wrote about this real life locust plague in Pioneer Girl and as horrific as the it sounds in the novel, the reality was even worse. And instead of walking east two years in a row, when the grasshoppers hatched again, Charles actually moved his family, which now included little brother Freddy, to Burr Oak Iowa. They went to partner with some friends, the Steadmans, in running hotel.

They didn't know that this was going to be a dark interlude.

Freddy passed away on the way to Iowa, and the pain for the whole family was such that Laura never wrote about it anywhere else.

In the hotel, Mary and Laura worked after school in the kitchen and dining rooms, and babysitting the Steadman's youngest child on the weekends. It was not the safest place to be either. Then the girls came down with measles. None of the family was paid for any of the work they did in the hotel, and the family quit the hotel, and eventually settled somewhat, but things were not great. Fires, violence and drama in the community. Charles had had enough and the family left to head back to Walnut Grove - in the dead of night to avoid debt collection. The best thing to come out of Burr Oak seemed to be the birth of the last Ingalls sister, Grace.

Let The Hurricane Roar was written by Rose and features a young couple, Charles and Caroline, newly married who head west after Charles 's father gives them enough money to make a claim. They live in a dugout, have a little boy, make friends with a Swedish couple living near by, and grow wheat that is destroyed by grasshoppers. Charles must leave to find work and Caroline spends a day in town trying to find work before deciding that it is better to be independent in her dugout with the baby. There is a blizzard that Charles must fight through to get home.

Slong with the basic story, there are several beats that are pretty much lifted right out of Pioneer Girl, including a line about a man who kept bees that left the area after the grasshoppers, saying that he refused to live in a place where even a bee can't make a living.

The writing in Hurricane is much different from any of the LH novels, and even in PG

The Hurricane tells the reader a lot, and doesn't show much until about halfway through. Description is sparse. It's trying to make a point from the get go. Hardship makes for a better life in the end, independence, even to the point of isolation is preferable to being dependent on anyone. Neighbors are nice, but something of a burden in good times and cannot be relied upon in bad times.

This is in direct contrast to Laura's writing which depends on description, and spends little time in exposition, shows more than tells. The characters are much different ad well, people value independence, yes, but are generally community minded founding churches, serving on school boards, helping neighbors.

There is the fact that she took elements of her grandparents and elements of her parents and mixed them together to make the story.

Charles in Hurricane gets money from his father to go out west. This is basically what happened when Almanzo decided to head west. He and Caroline end up on Wild Plum Creek in the Dakota Territory. Almanzo and Laura spent the early years of their marriage in De Smet South Dakota.

In essence, Rose took her parents and grandparents' stories, made a tale to appeal to her Libertarian ideals, and by many accounts, really pissed her mother off (which I'll get to later).

Hurricane isn't bad, it's compelling in its way, and effective for what it was trying to be, and I liked how it ended. However, it also serves as evidence that while the two Wilder women worked together and Rose was a brilliant editor, Laura wrote the classic novels.

Plum trees were low trees. They grew close together, with many little scraggly branches all strung with thin-skinned, juicy plums. Around them the air was sweet and sleepy, and wings hummed.

Laura had not known there were such wonderful books in the world. On every page of that book there was a picture and a rhyme. Laura could read some of them. She forgot all about the party.

this is embarrassingly late but I was tagged by @pangaeastarseed and iirc @babycupart (who tagged my main) for this and I legitimately waited because the last song I had heard was decidedly uncool and I was waiting for a better one to come up to fulfill this ... anyways here we go!

3 ships you like: for DS9 it's gonna be most Dukat stuff just because I like rare/absurd ships. I legit went into the series ready to be indoctrinated into Garashir for the popular ship privilege, but true to form I grew attached to the gnarliest gremlin-souled reptile of the series and now I kinda love Garak/Dukat and Sisko/Dukat. Intendant Kira/Dukat would probably round out that group!

First ship ever: Yamato/Mimi from Digimon, though I turned into a Sorato shipper real fast hahahahahahah (iykyk)

Last song you heard: fml legitimately forgot I was doing this so now it's S Club 7's Say Goodbye because I was doing a wikipedia deep dive

Favorite childhood book: On the Banks of Plum Creek by Laura Ingalls Wilder. I am aware that the series and LIW is problematic in a lot of ways, but man did that book truly capture the devastation of having a beloved stuffed animal forcefully given away. Plus some petty mean girl gets served catharsis via Nellie Olsen.

Ma di tanto in tanto c’è anche modo di divertirsi… 

Questi libri oltre ad ispirare la serie televisiva che tutti abbiamo visto e che va tuttora in onda in replica sui nostri schermi televisivi ogni giorno sul canale 27 del digitale terrestre, ha anche dato vita ad un cartone animato giapponese prodotto tra il 1975 e il 1976 dal titolo Laura (Sōgen no shōjo Rōra, lett. "Laura la ragazza delle praterie) che andò in onda anche in Italia, ma sinceramente non lo ricordo perchè all'epoca non ero ancora nata e poi non ne lo hanno trasmesso molto in reoplica immagino. Però se vi interessa recuperarne qualche puntata qualcosa su Youtube c'è.

La serie televisiva americana La casa nella prateria è disponibile con tutte le sue stagioni anche su Prime video, nel caso vi interessi

[grimesapologist]

on the banks of plum creek was the most beautiful of the house on the praire books imo, reading it made me so so happy as a child, on the shores of silver lake was too bittersweet, i remember some very sad things happening in it, the neurodivergent in me did reread the house construction chapters of the little house on the praire book over and over i loved the descriptions of cutting the logs into shape and when they finally built the fireplace in the house i was so deeply satisfied

settler colonialism obviously aside as i was a child and not reading them as critically as i would now (though i was made aware!) those books were really so formative for me and were such a rich tapestry thank u laura ingalls wilder for ur writing <3

[fictionadventurer]

It's amazing how every chapter in On the Banks of Plum Creek has blatant foreshadowing in the form of either, "It's extremely important that we have a good wheat crop this year," or "Here's how the weather is perfect for grasshoppers," and the grasshopper plague still manages to feel like a completely out-of-the-blue apocalyptic event.

MiqoMarch'24, Day #20: - town -

When he was 20 years of age, D'nyr left home to study pugilism in Ul'dah, with the hopes of becoming stong enough to protect those who he cared about most.

He lived on the outskirts of Stonesthrow in a small camp of his own making, near the western banks of the creek and well out of sight of the nearby encampments; after a few bad encounters he learnt to make his camp appear unassuming, else some his things might not be there when he returned… he had a modest stash of gil he brought with him from home which he saved for potable water, fruit & veg and important necessities (and always kept in two separate stashes), and he made do living off the land as best he could by hunting, foraging and using the creek for washing & hygiene (deeper/better quality water was found nearer the waterfall, if you were daring enough!).

He had two routines that he followed to a fault: here is one of them!

On days that he was studying, he would start the morning by waking early at 5:30am to clamber up the cliffside and watch the sunrise, his favourite morning ritual. Then he would bathe in the creek and get ready for the day, have a quick bite to eat (eg. boiled eggs or oats) and then spend the next 2 hours hunting/spearfishing, foraging and checking traps for easy meat like marmots/small game animals. He would stash it away for later in a makeshift cold storage pit he set up in a nearby cave, as well as setting up any carcasses to drain while he's out. He had intensive training at the guild with Master Hamon from 9am-1pm, and would then head back to his camp and have a small lunch of dried jerky or damper with a preserve (he likes pixie plum jam the most)-- and if he had enough gil to treat himself, he might buy a rolanberry lassi from the Ul'dahn vendors and sit awhile doing some people-watching in the markets. Following this, he would head back to his storage pit to retrieve the now-drained carcasses and would then meticulously skin/divide/preserve the meat, bones and whatnot, sorting them into two separate piles; things he can keep to cook with, use or store, and things he can sell for gil. D'nyr stores anything not needed for tonight's supper and then heads back to his camp, ingredients in hand-- he enjoys soups and "slow-cooker" meals he that can put on while training (shakshuka is a favourite), so most of this time is spent preparing his meat and veg. At 3pm when dinner is simmering away, he begins his own solo training with plenty of short breaks in-between; he leans more towards things he can do without specialised equipment like running, pushups and cardio exercises, bicep curls (using heavy stones) or pull-ups (using one of the many thick branches of the trees in this area-- and never the same one for long, in case it breaks). Finishing up at 6pm, he would go down to the river to wash his clothes (it doesn't take long to dry at least, even at this time of day!) and then head back to camp to finish cooking and eating dinner. By this point he was usually pretty knackered so he would wind down for the evening by making some chamomile tea, stargazing or repairing damaged clothes/items, followed by an early night around 9pm. (…His days off were comparatively simple, in stark contrast! He would dedicate them to just one or two tasks at most, including such highlights as: exploring, barehand fishing, taking on odd jobs for gil, "nap day", goofing off posing with Cactuars in W.Thanalan, and hanging around the Ul'dah markets for a spot of peoplewatching and taking in the sights/smells/gossip.)

#MiqoMarch2024 #MiqoMarch #ffxiv #d'nyr #d'nyr fellcrest #town > city > uldah was my leap of logic here #I ended up spending all day yesterday + day before working on setting this up so it's A LOT more than I meant to write on the topic! #search history got all kinds of stuff like ''pre-plastic storage methods...historical dental hygiene practices...how shallow is a creek...' #''do nuts grow in the desert...how do you make nopal juice...'' and also a lot of scoping out vendors and specific locations and lore
