        <description><![CDATA[Margaret Mitchell, like Scarlett O'Hara, was born into a Southern family with a deep Southern ancestry. She grew up listening to Confederate veteran soldiers' stories about the Civil War, which helped to inspire "Gone with the Wind." She was from a wealthy family, like Scarlet, and lost a fiance to a war (similiar to how Scarlet's new husband dies in the Civil War  before they even got to be married for too long). Margaret Mitchell had a...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This novel encompasses so much: love, history, class relationships, gender relationships, race relations, prejudice.  However, if we examine the storyline surrounding the protagonist - Scarlett - the over-reaching theme is survival.  Scarlett begins by surviving the loss of her beloved to another.  She then survives the death of her mother.  Then, as the war intensifies, Scarlett must face her own mortality and the destruction of her...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It can be difficult to compress this novel into a brief summary, especially because it's a long novel with many different characters and events. Whenever you write a summary, include only the main characters, the major events, and the main conflicts of any piece of literature. The link to the &quot;One-Page Summary&quot; divides the novel into time periods: before the Civil War, during the Civil War, Reconstruction after the Civil War, and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Scarlett is self-centered and vain, and appears at first to be a clear example of the legendary spoiled Southern belle, but she has qualities that set her apart from the typical stereotype.  Scarlett is strong and fiercely determined, as she shows when she vows, &quot;I'll never go hungry again&quot; after the destruction of Twelve Oaks Plantation by the Yankees.  Scarlett is also deeply intelligent, and a formidable entity in her quest to...]]></description>
