How many sentances did Mr. Peters say this needed to be? I thought he said at least two, but I wanted to hear what everyone else had to say about it.
I think that the quiz we will do on Friday, about our classmates names, is a great way for all of us to get to know everyone.
Can anyone explain to me who is Bam White? and what is his role in this history book?
I can't seem to post my comments. Is anyone else having this problem.
what was the main idea on chapter one? i'm kind of confused, can someone explain to me.
I think the name quiz is an evil thing! I am terrible with faces/names! But that's ok I suppose...
Anyways, get a google account!
Google is the closest thing to an omnipotent god we have. So make use of it!
Yolanda, I believe the first chapter of the book is not only a section of history but a metaphor for many thousands of people migrating. Think about it, thousands migrated and ended up in random places. The explanation of the chapter was at the end.
I don't blog all that often, so this will be interesting for me, I guess. I didn't even know this web site, Blogger existed until today.
Do the facts in the introduction support the title that this may have been The Worst Hard Times that may have been expirienced in modern history?
hey Gibs you should read seths comment about chapter one maybe it will help you understand it better :)
So if google is the closest thing we have an omnipotent god then what is Bill Gates to you? Like super king god man, and how would worship him... is that how he makes so much money?
Bill Gates didn't make google... I think.
I might be wrong about my assumption on the first chapter. But it seems accurate enough doesn't it?
I think it's incredibly odd that this disaster was so catastrophic, and yet we hear so little about it.
my favorite quote from chap 1 was "They made sorrow come into our camps,and we went out like buffalo bulls when the cows are attacked," said Comanche leader Ten Bears in 1867."When we found them we killed them, and their scalps hang in our lodges. The white women cried , and our women laughed. The Comanches are not weak and blind like pups of a dog when seven sleeps old." This says a lot about the willingness of the indians to stay on their land or at least in my opionion to try!!! Maybe I am looking at it from a wrong point of view anyone have any idea.
