Book: The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie
Time: 120 mins
After spending a day in class reading our new class book, I have gained interest into it. Although I feel bad for Junior and what he goes through. So far, I've read how he gets bullied about his brain condition, how his dad had to shoot Oscar his dog to stop the pain he was going through, and how is family is very poor. Although Junior's life isn't all that bad, he has a best friend named Rowdy. I can't wait to read more about Junior and his experiences.
I chose to spend the year on researching on how the rights of women in developing countries have changed throughout the years. Women and female children have suffered the most throughout the years. Mostly because of the Taliban and their rules. If anyone didn't know, the Taliban were a group of men who wanted whatever they said to be enforced, and it was in fact. This week I plan on correcting my annotations and fix what they're lacking. I also plan on going to the library and getting more primary sources to build off of.
I'm liking the book as well. Seems like you really like your NHD project topic and it seems like you know a lot about it. I can't wait to see your final product.
ReplyDeleteWhat were some of the Taliban's rules?
