Andrew Clausen's 1995 study guide for high schoolers takes what might have been considered a children's book/movie and extracts from it adult issues and lessons. The pre-reading activities will acquaint you with Florida and its history, and then the dialect will plunge you into the era. More than a story about a young deer, The Yearling is a coming-of-age story as well as a story of conflict in relationships and how to resolve them. Feel the mood of the story. How is the Bible woven into the story? Contrast animal behavior to human. The vocabulary and reading comprehension/discussion questions will stretch your mind, while the underlying story with its life-and-death struggle will touch your heart.
