Author: Anne Tyler
The main theme:
The main theme is identity, as Jean and other characters struggle to discover who they are, and what role their country or upbringing plays in that.
Andrea Hull: Andrea Hull, the daughter of another missionary, is Jean's best friend. A few years older and far more sophisticated than Jean, she understands hairstyles, popular dances, fashion, and boys. Jean admires and even envies Andrea's worldliness. The Hulls have an adopted son, David, who longs to discover his real parents.
Nola: Benny's mom, Nola, is tired of living in small-town Missouri, and longs to be back in New Orleans. Benny's dad, Calvin, grew up in Dennis Acres and could never imagine leaving it, and his “collectibles,” behind. In Homesick, the new novel by Kate Klise, these conflicting emotions become too much.

When I came to the stile, I stopped a minute, looked round and listened, with an idea that a horse's hoofs might ring on the causeway again, and that a rider in a cloak, and a . . . Newfoundland dog, might be again apparent: I saw only the hedge and a pollard willow before me, rising up still and straight to meet the moonbeams; I heard only the faintest waft of wind roaming fitful among the trees round Thornfield, a mile distant; and when I glanced down in the direction of the murmur, my eye, traversing the hall-front, caught a light kindling in a window: it reminded me that I was late, and I hurried on.
I did not like re-entering Thornfield. To pass its threshold was to return to stagnation; to cross the silent hall, to ascend the darksome staircase, to seek my own lonely little room, and then to meet tranquil Mrs. Fairfax, and spend the long winter evening with her, and her only, was to quell wholly the faint excitement wakened by my walk,—to slip again over my faculties the viewless fetters of an uniform and too still existence; of an existence whose very privileges of security and ease I was becoming incapable of appreciating. What good it would have done me at that time to have been tossed in the storms of an uncertain struggling life, and to have been taught by rough and bitter experience to long for the calm amidst which I now repined! Yes, just as much good as it would do a man tired of sitting still in a "too easy chair" to take a long walk: and just as natural was the wish to stir, under my circumstances, as it would be under his.

Is information on the internet likely to be as reliable as that of print media? why or why not?
Answer:
It is likely, within certain situations.
Explanation:
Many people consider the information presented in print media vehicles to be more reliable than the information covered on the internet. This is because, according to these people, the information on the internet is posted without verification. This is true in some situations, however, it is possible that the information presented on the internet is as reliable as the information presented in the printed media. This is because many platforms and websites present information verified and disseminated by experts and people committed to the truth. Many print media outlets have been replaced by the internet because of this possibility of disseminating true information online.
