The Matchmaker, Matchmaker Question, by Paula Rose Michelson

Thursday, September 27, 2012


It seems that no matter where we go, what nationality we come from, or what faith we follow there’s always a matchmaker. In our youth, we might have been paired—matched-up—with someone to learn to square-dance. Later we may have been instructed to stand next to so-an-so (another way of being matched-up-with someone) in the back row so everyone could been seen in the photograph. 


Within every group we’ve been part of fragment groups already existed or soon would. From the nerds to the suffer dudes, from the preppies to those who dressed in goth-black each person has a deep desire to be an individual yet a member of a group that not only defines them but sees them as one to be emulated! 


Taking Naomi as our example, this woman who many wish to emulate is a puzzle to the attorney, but one he’ll rectify when Naomi does…

Scavenger Hunt Questions


Why is the attorney trying to find Naomi a husband?


Why has the priest told the attorney that he’s no longer interested in his schemes?


Why does Naomi agree to meet the man the attorney has selected, and why after many failed attempts at matchmaking why does he believe this is the man for her?


Proverbs 31: 30-31 “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

When writing or reading historical fiction details matter. Since these oft forgotten pieces of information set the stage and knowing them gives the author and reader a template that allows them insight they might not have otherwise, my questions this week are about Naomi's history and journey.

Why did Naomi leave her family without telling them why or saying goodbye?

How did a fifteen year old girl get to America?

Scavenger Hunt - Week Three, by Paula Rose Michelson

Monday, September 3, 2012
From the time I was little until today people have always known what mattered to me by the way I acted, what I said, and what I did not say. I'm certain that is as true for you as it is for Naomi, and that is why I have posted today's question. For until we understand what motivates us, a friend, or a character in a a novel, we are emotionally removed from their reality. But once we understand, we know more about them and knowing more might cause us to care.

If asked to describe Naomi in one word everyone Spanish Harlem would agree that word was____?
