My brain is literally going to explode I feel so stupid. The old lady (in the future perspective) is Vianne. I had so much hope. Oh my gosh. Before we get into that, there are some things to talk about from earlier. First off, Von Richter GOT VIANNE PREGNANT (the link is about the Nazi […]
Blog 6: It All Goes Downhill
Isabelle is now in a concentration camp, Vianne is being sexually assaulted, and their father is dead. So, Isabelle and Gaetan had their time in that cabin, then they had to stop seeing each other a lot. Then out of nowhere, he comes up behind her in the dark after 8 months and they get […]
Blog 5: All is Fair in Love and War
So Beck is dead. I didn’t necessarily hate him, but I don’t feel upset about his death. I mean, it was a good way to get rid of the him-and-Vianne problem. However, his death just set off a WHOLE lot of other stuff. 1. A new DISGUSTING HORRIBLE DIRTY PIG Nazi man has decided to […]
Blog 4: Everyone’s in Love with Isabelle
I have something I need to write about but for Piper’s sake, I will do it in a few paragraphs (I don’t want to spoil it). One thing that bugs me that I have to say is half a year passed in ONE chapter. I hate time skips with a passion. Especially because Isabelle took […]
Blog 3: Everything is Happening All at Once
So basically I finished this section at like 11 pm last night and the last chapter was so good I had to write down what I wanted to say in this. I couldn’t sleep because it was so good. I’m gonna elaborate on all of that because I have SO MUCH TO SAY. This is […]
Blog 2: Nazis and Nuns
This book keeps getting better. Isabelle and Vianne are both becoming more interesting, but also more frustrating. Isabelle has finally found a way to channel her hate for Germans into something other than plain-out aggression. I don’t blame her for being so upset, but I was convinced her impulsiveness would kill her, Sophie, or Vianne. […]
Blog #1: Men Keep Leaving (Who is “War”?)
After 83 pages of this book, I’ll give it a 7/10. It’s nothing too exciting, but lots of books have slow starts. I love both Vianne and Isabelle, but Isabelle is kindaaaa frustrating. Overall she’s spunky and adventurous, which is super cool, but she also pities herself a lot. She is, however, very brave. I […]
Blogging about Literature
The book Piper and I chose to read is The Nightingale. We chose this book because it’s about war, but from a different perspective. I’m pretty sure I’ve only read one war book about women (I only remember because the main character’s name was Lucy). Nothing against men, but their stories are usually pretty predictable. […]
Audience
Bartolome de las Casas participated in the attacks on Native American people, but eventually, he realized that he was wrong to do so. He became a priest and then wrote about the atrocities within the Spanish control of Native Americans. I believe his writing may have swayed people from joining the destruction, and possibly could […]
“Relation” and Cultural Frontiers
In “Relation”, Bartolome de las Casa describes the atrocities done to the Native Americans by the Spaniards. De las Casas was previously one of the Spaniards who engaged in harming the Native Americans, but he later realized what he was doing and stopped. In the story, he writes, “The Spaniards did not content themselves with […]
