Question 1: Describe Laura and Mary's personalities and how they act during different events in the story.
Laura and Mary are very different personalities. Laura is energetic and brave when she has to be. Mary is slow and tries to be like a grownup, but when she's scared she can't move. When the chimney goes on fire and a fired-up piece of wood gets under the rocker, Mary gets scared and can't move. Laura is scared too, but she pulls the rocker away from the fire and saves Mary and baby Carrie.
Question 2: How are the beginning and the ending of the story similar?
The Ingalls are a family on the go! In both the beginning and the end of "Little House on the Prairie" they move. At the start they are moving from Wisconsin to Kansas. In the end they have to move away from Kansas, otherwise the soldiers will kick them out of Indian Territory. At the start they were happy to move, to get away from everyone. But at the end they are forced to move on. No body is really happy, they must leave all their progress behind and begin again somewhere new.
