The reader gets a visual of how Jerusha’s life unfolds as she steps into a new phase of her life. She addresses him as daddy long legs for she catches a glimpse of his (long) legs as he leaves the orphanage one day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGripping till the last page where the identity of the benefactor is revealed, this epistolary comingof- age classic is relatable to the extent that the reader can live Jerusha’s life through her letters.
