Summary: Mary, who loves to sing hymns whith her Granny, go to sunday school and learn everything there is to know about fossils is a ten-year-old gril.She has a ot of questions about this earth.She also has different idea about church, asking about all those animals on one ark and earth being created in just six days.And she often ask many questions Mary mom won't answer is not Maary Mae's idea of school.he questions make her mother very uncomfortable as they challenge her interpretation of The Holy Bible. Many of her questions stem from her science class and what she is learning about fossils and the dinosaurs. In an attempt to stifle her questions the Pastor suggests that her Sunday School class perform a puppet show about the Creation. Mary Mae is happy to do this although it spawns even more questions for her. Mama is so determined that she stop learning about such things that supposedly conflict with her beliefs, that she pulls Mary Mae out of school with the intention of homeschooling. Thankfully Mary Mae has the support and listening-ear of her beloved great-grandmother with whom she shares a passion and talent for music.
In my opinion, I think Mary is very smart and courageous.she has her own belief.she also believe science,she refuses to jst give in and comform to he parents' beliefs.We need to have our own faith in our own world.
