Section 7; Chapters 27-28 (The End) There is so much that has happened throughout this whole story and now it has finally come to an end. This story has brought many twists and turns, many of which I did not see coming. There has been death and life, forgiving and forgetting, love and hate, and […]

Section 6; Chapters 24-26 Once again this story has taken another twist, and Hallie is dead. I wish I could say that this shocks me but I can’t. The whole story has practically foreshadowed what will happen to Hallie and even I wrote this down in my blog post #2: She WAS pregnant?!. So… yeah, […]

Section 5; Chapters 19-23 In this section, there has been much that connects to the real world. The author, Barbara Kingsolver connects parts of Hallie’s disappearance to the president at the time, Ronald Reagan, and the United States government.  On Christmas night, Doc Homero gets a call from Nicaragua, informing him that Halimeda has been […]

Section 4; Chapters 14-18 I am writing about the last two chapters we read about Animal Dreams. I know that these should be analyzing what we just read as a whole, but I believe that splitting these chapters up is beneficial since there is so much that can be said. I asked Ryder to write […]

Section 3; Chapters 10-13 I call this section Animal Dreams when in reality it’s wild thoughts. This book has been very good so far with all the information given, it’s not too much information but it’s enough to keep the story interesting. I didn’t think that this story would have naughty details in it but […]

Section 2; Chapters 5-9 Do you know those stories that just drop the craziest points in the middle of a chapter and then drop the idea so you have to wait till the next chapter to get the rest of the details? Well, that is me with this book at the moment. As I am […]

Section 1; Chapters 1-4 I am officially one-seventh done with my book, and here’s what I’ve noticed. I like the storyline so far and how the characters’ narratives are split. One thing that I do like a lot about the characters is the way that Dr. Homero writes, he writes in medical metaphors. He talks […]

I’m reading Animal Dreams by Barbara Kingsolver with Ryder A., because I like the setting the book was placed in, which is Grace, Arizona. I also chose this book because of earlier lessons from American Lit where I learned about Native American Myths and how their stories are to teach life lessons to their children […]

These excerpts did change some or most of the perspectives of those who read them, instead of thinking that European voyages were good in finding riches and new land, especially during westward expansion. Many realized the harsh realities that occurred when the Spaniards were trying to conquer the land and take gold. The texts showed […]

The text “The Very Brief Relation of the Devastation of the Indies” showed the brutality of the Spaniards to the Native Indies in the Caribbean due to greed. The Spaniards brought cruelty, injustice, abuse, and death to the homes of the Indians who lived on the Carribean front. Spaniards depopulated the lands by forcing those […]
