Book Club Thoughts

The book Sing Down the Moon reminds me of a book I read in middle school about a Spanish girl fleeing to America. It dealt with the issues of moving away from something you know and grew up with. This book seems like it will deal with just that. I really enjoy reading about the perspective of people and how they adapt to their new surroundings. The issue of the birth of America seems to be a main idea and it is was one that I also like to learn about. Figuring out what the immigrants did to the native people is interesting and it helps me keep my thoughts in check about what America is. It doesn't just belong to one group of people it is a conglomeration. I am most excited to learn about the things the Native Americans had to go through and how much they had to deal with. Their lives were forcefully taken away from them and I am anxious to learn more about what happened in the past.

I like the resources a lot. It gives a scary look into what happened in the past.
