Create Your Own Little
Flower
Keep
in mind the narrative world of Brother Ugolino's Little Flowers:
- How
do the key characters (Bros. Francis, Bernard, Leo, Masseo, &
Sister Clare, also Bros. Juniper and Giles) act?
- What
tone do the chapters take?
- What
are the qualities held in high esteem?
- How
is the action typically developed and resolved?
- What
kinds of actions are typical of the characters?
Attempt
to construct the plan for your own Little Flower based on one of the
following scenarios:
- St.
Francis and one of the brothers encounter two drunkards: one is
"gentle" and talkative; the other is violent and silent.
- St.
Francis is on a journey to St. James when he finds a flock of sheep
have blocked the road and refuse to move.
- St.
Francis demands that Brother Masseo pour pig manure on him for public
penance.
- Bros.
Bernard and Leo discover a loaf of freshly baked bread outside their
cells.
- A
group of robbers beat and take St. Francis' habit during Lent.
- A
young novice observes Sts. Francis and Clare walking on a duck pond.
- Brother
Juniper hears that a dying nun's last wish is to smell flowers.
