My daughter is taking a class that requires her to read this book....it got sent to the house instead of to her at college so I opened it to repack and mail it....It seemed like a perfect picture for ABC Wednesday...I am guessing this book is not a happy book, though.
Je ne connais pas, je ne pense pas que cela soit traduit en français.
ReplyDeleteI do not know, I do not think that that either not translated into French
I thought you would post Inverness! Just shows the diversity of the idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff!
I agree, for the little that I know doesn't seems happy book.
ReplyDeleteThe little one is crying about what? Do you know?
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of book I'd love to translate. I am very much interested in American-Indian History (or should I say "native American History"? :-))
ReplyDeleteOr should I say as you did "Indian Native American" ? Oh la la it's sometimes difficult to be politically correct :-)
ReplyDeleteIt was truely sad the way the Native Americans were treated. The children were taken from the parents and put in boarding schools to teach them to be like the white people.
ReplyDeleteyep, politicaly correct..Native American...I just used the "I" for Indian ..and he is crying like Dot said...ripped from his family and sent to learn how to be "white"...
ReplyDeleteO yes very bad indeed, I saw a documentary about it on TV.
ReplyDeleteA part of American history that I doubt many of us are aware of ... I certainly wasn't!
ReplyDelete'I' for the Information the book holds, a sad tale but one that should be told and learned from.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine this book will be moving. It will be interesting to hear what your daughter thinks of it.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting photo. Sometimes our nations did things in our past which are very disturbing and we must at the very least acknowlegde that fact and the fact that many were hurt and continue to be hurt by those actions.
ReplyDeleteWhat???
ReplyDeleteI do not uuummm I think I am to small/little for this kinda fooling around, hahaha, perfet pisture yeh thats right, The only thing I understand, lazy, sleepy...
JoAnn:)
oh!!!! i just read your comment about why he's crying...i would hate to be in his shoes!!! i will really like to know what your daughter has to say about the book once she's done with it.....
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the days when I went to boarding school as a little kid. Leaving the bush and the wide open spaces for a regimented life was soul destroying. Imagine what it was like for those who come into that life from a totally different culture and language.
ReplyDeleteyou have a good *I* for detail..
ReplyDeletePEace,Kai
A very sad book cover. Thank you for sharing the post and your thoughtful comments. I truly appreciate your visit and comment. It means a lot to me. And I bet you miss your daughter in packing the book for her. God bless your loving family.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing such a thought-provoking photo for today.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your daughter's school is requiring their students to read about other cultures. Good Idea for your I photo.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't look much like a happy book at all. A nice blog you have here. :)
ReplyDeleteMiss Neva, have you seen Mister Sea Bass around in Inverness lately?
ReplyDeleteI'm asking you this 'cause I've posted about a good way to put him in the oven. Chec it.
