15. Sears home kits were kits that were sold by the retailer Sears that included all of the parts necessary to build a home. The kits, once purchased, would be delivered via railcar and then by truck to the site of the new home where the new owner would assemble them, often with the help of others. The service lasted for more than 30 years, beginning in 1908, and more than 70,000 homes of this type were built. Home kits were available with many different add-ons, such as kits that included additional materials for plumbing fixtures or higher-quality or specialty items. In their peak, a large number of competing home kit suppliers existed, and many of them used very similar designs. The program ended in the early 1940s, although most of the homes built using the kits still exist today. Finding these homes can be quite a challenge as there is no official record of which homes were built using the Sears kits. Home kits of this type are no longer available in the United States, although many home builders offer a similar approach in offering model homes that can be purchased through the builder and then customized by the buyer. Although still long off from reality, 3D printing technology may allow home builders of the future to create any home they desire, in a way using the idea that was started by Sears in the early 1900s. What inference can be made about homes built from these kits?​

in the short story the slip-over sweater by jesse stuart, the main character and narrator shan is friends with grace, an intelligent girl he has known since childhood and with whom he used to be in love.

at the beginning of the story, shan believes he’s no longer in love with grace, but loves jo-anne instead. in order to buy a slip-over sweater and have jo-anne wear it so that the other students would know she loved him too, shan takes a loan at the bank.

while jo-anne is wearing shan’s sweater, his friend grace starts to wear another popular boy’s one, roy’s sweater. because of that, the other students begin to pay attention to grace and compliment her perseverance and effort. they admire her for walking 5 miles to school every day, despite the weather, and still getting the best grades. shan, who knows all of that for a fact, says, as the narrator, ‘and i knew she had the durability and the toughness of a storm-battered mountain oak.’ he compares his friend’s strength – not only physical, but also of character – to an oak tree, whose wood is known for being sturdy.

as the story goes on, shan changes his behavior out of concern for the debt he has to pay at the bank. his new girlfriend jo-anne never asks him what is wrong nor offers any sort of . instead, she breaks up with shan for not being as fun as she thought he was supposed to be. grace, however, not only asks about shan’s problem, but him make the money he needs. shan can’t but notice how different the girls are and what a wonderful person grace is.   even though he used to find jo-anne prettier at the beginning of the story, he now says, ‘grace was as beautiful as our mountain was in april, prettier than a blossom of wild phlox or a mountain daisy.’ his comparing grace to a mountain or something that exists on a mountain (such as a mountain oak or daisy) certainly has important meaning since shan loves the mountain and everything about it and he knows the mountain thoroughly. shan also loves and knows grace as completely as he does the mountain.
