Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster. This book contains a historical context, where past events or the study and narration of these events are examined.

Jerusalem's unusual first name was selected by the tombstone matron (she hates it and uses "Judy" instead), while her last name was selected from the phone book
