        <description><![CDATA[The focus of similarities between Cushman's work and the modern setting revolves around identity formation in young people.  Alyce's challenges, definition, and redefinition of self is a part of the adolescent process of maturation.  This idea is fairly present in modern young girls, who also have to endure some level of challenge and struggle before finding their own sense of self and their "voice."  Young boys have to endure this process,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Beetle is resilient and resourceful.  As long as she could remember, she

"had lived on her own by what means she could - stealing an onion here or helping with the harvest there in exchange for a night on the stable floor".

Beetle uses whatever means she can to survive.  When she is found by the village woman in the beginning of the book, she is sleeping on a dung heap, because it gives her warmth (Chapter 1).
Beetle is diligent and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The cat plays a number of roles in Beetle's first weeks in the village.  Its existence is first of all a kind of mirror of Beetle's.  Both are homeless and on their own, and both are tormented, especially by the urchins of the town.  Until the boys try to drown him, he arguably does better in the art of survival than Beetle.
The cat is the first being with whom Beetle forms a positive relationship.  At first, Beetle simply watches him and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The Midwife sees Beetle as free labor, someone of whom she can take advantage to take care of the more odious and mundane aspects of her livelihood.  She has no idea of how intelligent and observant her apprentice really is.  Because most others are afraid of the darkness, she sends Beetle "to fetch and carry and deliver messages after dark, while the villagers (stay) in their smoky cottages".  The Midwife is unaware that in the process...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The villagers yell at Beetle because they are angry at the Midwife.  Since they need the Midwife's services, they take out their ire on her little apprentice, Beetle.
The Midwife is a greedy woman who will only provide her help to those who can pay.  She spends a good amount of her time haggling with the villagers over her fees, and has been known at least twice to have refused to come to the aid of mothers in actual labor who could not...]]></description>
