If you are offering chocolate,
I accept.

One time my mother offered me
some chocolate, not being in the
mood for it I declined.
She said I wasn't her daughter.

I must confess, it was me-
after an observation as Emma
stated "Oh goodness this group
is just crazy!!"

[Hannah]

You girls are making me HUNGRY but I just ATE!!!

[Hannah]

New developments in "As the NEL Turns": First it was the lollipop, now Ruth tries to bribe Meg for the answer with a bar of chocolate. What will she attempt next?"

[Ruth]

Hannah wrote: "You girls are making me HUNGRY but I just ATE!!!"

Hannah Banana!
There is always room for dessert.
I have a burger with my name on it!

Yes, but is there room for second dessert? Burgers are always good!!

I will only answer "Alcott" if that answer seems to me, in the light of knowledge and/or intelligence, to be one of correct and honorable standing.

I can't believe we're kin. 🤦‍♀️😂

[Doreen]

Wait I'm here. I had internet issues. I'm guessing John Greenleaf Whittier.

[Allyson]

I'm just curious what the answer is!!

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

Hey I have a strange question, has nothing to do with the topic, but since your name isn't actually Meg, is Dorothy your actual name? Sorry, just curious! Don't answer if you don't want to. 😋

This is why I associate Dorry with
a school marm.

Dorry, don't say "I resent". 😛

[Ruth]

Shall we recap the groups answers?

Nope, that's just my pen name :)

You're impossible!😄

[Joanna]

Ruth wrote: "Shall we recap the groups answers?"

So the original question was, "Which of the Fireside Poets had a particular fondness for trees?"

Emma - James Russell Lowell
Hannah - all of them but especially Longfellow
Ruth - Emerson
Dorry - James Russell Lowell
Allyson - Oliver Wendell Holmes
Doreen - John Greenleaf Whittier

[Ruth]

How many pages did it take for us
to get here?😄

The answer is? ⏳

[Joanna]

And the winner is... EMMA! (Dorry too, but Emma guessed first. 😋)
James Russell Lowell wrote a number of tree poems, such as 'To a Pine Tree', 'The Oak', 'The Birch-Tree', 'The Growth of the Legend', and his famous 'Under the Willows', in which he writes...

I care not how men trace their ancestry,
To ape or Adam ; let them please their whim;
But I in June am midway to believe
A tree among my far progenitors,
Such sympathy is mine with all the race,
Such mutual recognition vaguely sweet
There is between us. Surely there are times
When they consent to own me of their kin,
And condescend to me, and call me cousin,
Murmuring faint lullabies of eldest time,
Forgotten, and yet dumbly felt with thrills
Moving the lips, though fruitless of the words.
And I have many a life-long leafy friend,
Never estranged nor careful of my soul,
That knows I hate the axe, and welcomes me
Within his tent as if I were a bird,
Or other free companion of the earth,
Yet undegenerate to the shifts of men.

[Ruth]

Congrats, Emma!👏👏👏

Emma and I have finished plotting together and this is our question to you all.

What author was friends with Henry David Thoreau, and often provoked him?
