“ DOLLY ”
SHEPHERD loved
adventure. But growing up as a tomboy
in England in the 1890s did not fit the mold
of a “proper” young lady. Girls were expected
to stay in the background while their
brothers received better
educations and enjoyed
more freedom. But
while other young girls
were learning homemaking
skills and social graces, Dolly was
chasing her brother up trees, sliding
down drainpipes, or doing acrobatics on a
clothesline. She even accepted her brother’s
dare to jump off a roof while holding an
umbrella. It was her first time jumping
from a high place. It wouldn’t be her last.
There were no airplanes in the skies when
Dolly was growing up. The heavens were left
to the clouds and huge balloons puffed up
with smoke or gas. Remember this information this is Part 1 of the text.

Part 1: The text introduces us to Elizabeth "Dolly" Shepherd, a girl who loved adventure but did not conform to the expectations placed on young ladies in 1890s England. While other girls were learning homemaking skills and social graces, Dolly enjoyed activities like climbing trees, sliding down drainpipes, and doing acrobatics on a clothesline. She even accepted her brother's dare to jump off a roof while holding an umbrella. This experience marked her first time jumping from a high place. During this time, there were no airplanes in the skies, and the heavens were left to the clouds and large balloons filled with smoke or gas.
