Literature Model

from Main Street

by Sinclair Lewis

hen Carol had walked for thirty-two minutes she had completely covered the town,east and west,north and south;and she stood at the corner of Main Street and Washington Avenue and despaired .Main Street ,with its two-story brick shops,its story-and-a-half wooden residences,its muddy expanse from concrete walk to walk,its huddle of Fords and lumber-wagons,was too small to absorb her.The broad,straight,unenticing gashes of the streets let in the grasping prairie on every side.She realized the vastness and the emptiness of the land.The skeleton iron windmill on the farm a few blocks away,at the north end of Main Street,was like the ribs of a dead cow.She thought of the coming of the Northern winter,when the unprotected houses would crouch together in terror of storms galloping out of that wild waste.They were so small and weak,the little brown houses.They were shelters for sparrows,not homes for warm laughing people.She told herself that down the street the leaves were a splen-dor.The maples were orange ;the oaks a solid tint of raspberry.And the lawns had been nursed with love.But the thought would not hold.At best the trees resembled a thinned woodlot.There was no park to rest the eyes .And since not Gopher Prairie but Wakamin was the county-seat,there was no court-

house with its https://www.wendangku.net/doc/164599622.html,pound predicate Simple subject

She glanced through the fly-specked windows of the most

pretentious building in sight,the one place which welcomed

strangers and determined their opinion of the charm and luxury

of Gopher Prairie—the Minniemashie House.It was a tall lean

shabby structure ,three stories of yellow-streaked wood,the cor-

ners covered with sanded pine slabs purporting to symbolize

stone.In the hotel office she could see a stretch of bare unclean

floor,a line of rickety chairs with brass cuspidors between,a

writing-desk with advertisements in mother-of-pearl letters upon

the glass-covered back.The dining-room beyond was a jungle of

stained table-cloths and catsup bottles.

She looked no more at Minniemashie House .Complete predicate Simple predicate Subject complement (predicate nominative)
