| Summary | "For His Country, and Grandmother and the Crow" by Marshall Saunders is a collection of stories written in the late 19th century. This literary work explores themes of patriotism, childhood innocence, and compassion, reflecting societal values of its time. The narratives blend elements of realism and sentimentality, focusing on the emotional struggles of their characters. The first story, "For His Country," follows a homesick American boy named Gerald, who grapples with his longing for home while living in France. As he navigates cultural challenges, his patriotism shines through, particularly in his efforts to instill pride in his siblings. The second tale, "Grandmother and the Crow," presents a whimsical account of a spirited grandmother who rescues an injured crow and the subsequent bond they share. Through these narratives, Saunders emphasizes themes of love, duty, and the importance of a nurturing environment, creating relatable and heartwarming experiences for both children and adults.
