Note: Reading ease score: 78.9 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.

Summary: "Straight Forward; or, Walking in the Light" by Lucy Ellen Guernsey is a story for school girls written in the mid-19th century. The narrative focuses on the lives of young female students at a boarding school, particularly the character of Emily Arlington, who grapples with social pressures, financial challenges, and moral dilemmas. The book likely addresses themes of friendship, integrity, and the importance of cultivating strong principles amid temptations and distractions. The opening of the story introduces us to Emily Arlington and her friends during a shopping excursion. Emily's financial restraint contrasts sharply with her peers, who showcase a more careless attitude towards money, leading her to feel pressured in their company. As the narrative unfolds, we learn about Emily's background, her struggles with newfound independence, and her interactions with various characters, including her roommate Delia Mason, who exhibits a bold and manipulative demeanor. The scene sets the tone for Emily's internal conflicts over money and morality, suggesting that her journey will revolve around navigating the trials of adolescence while maintaining her values.
