Chapter 8 summary

There are important events in Chapter 8, but for me this is a plot summary of the most fascinating chapter in the book Sarah, Plain and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan. First, Sarah said to Papa she wants to learn how to ride a horse because she wants to drive a wagon by herself. Second, Sarah puts on Jacob’s overalls to show that she can work very hard. Third, they heard the rumble of thunder, and Papa looked up at the clouds and got very worried. Also, there was an eerie storm coming. In addition, Papa needed to fix the house’s roof because it was loose and Sarah helped him. Next, the family was safe into the barn with their animals. Sarah had to go outside because her chickens and Seal (her cat) weren’t in the barn. Sarah cried a lot. She thought with the tornado her pets will be died. Finally, in my opinion, the beginning of summer was fine because it permitted the family to be together. Therefore, the most important fact that happened in chapter 8 was Papa touched Sarah very closely and Anna remembered when her Papa and her Mama used to stand that way.

Chapter 8 summery



In Ch.8 we can find many important things. First, Sarah dressed in a pair of Jacob’s overalls because she wanted to show to him that she is strong. Second, Sarah said she wanted to learn how to ride a horse and she would ride Jack. Also, she said she was a good carpenter. All these sentences showed Sarah is very strong and not mild-mannered. Third, Anna’s tears gathered at the corners of her eyes. Next, Jacob ordered Caleb to “Get the horses inside” and for Anna to “Get the sheep, cows” because hail was coming. Finally, Sarah said, “My chickens!” and ran from the barn into a sheet of rain. In conclusion, we can find more sentences because Ch.8 is the most important chapter in the book.
