The farm in Arkansas
Briksville Arkansas
The Wilk’s Estate
Phelp’s Place (Pikesville , Arkansas)
Next, indicate the event(s) that occurred at each location on a separate piece of paper from the map.
Next, from the list of characters provided, group each with the location where they appear and find a quote from the story that colorfully describes each involved in an unusual or important event. You only need to associate a character with one location (for characters involved in several events).
