The Leading Ladies in My Life : Cyberwit.Net : 9788119228324 : 8119228324 : 10 Jun 2023 : (Wolf at the Door)"Wolf at the Door" is a short poem that captures a snapshot of family life and the activities surrounding the Girl Scout experience. The poem effectively uses simple and concise language to paint a vivid picture of the scene. The opening lines set the stage with Mama ironing the Brownie Uniform, symbolizing the passage of time as it is now worn by the speaker's sister. This detail creates a sense of nostalgia and hints at the speaker's growth and progression within the Girl Scouts. The poem continues with the speaker taking on the role of the cook, preparing "Wolf at the Door" for supper. This dish serves a dual purpose: as a meal for the family and as practice for the upcoming scout weekend campout. This connection between food and scouting activities adds depth to the narrative, emphasizing the speaker's commitment to their role as a Girl Scout. BIO Sharon Waller Knutson is
