Ghost Hawk, By Susan Cooper
The book I've chose is a great read. It's a fictionally book revolving around a Native American Boy known as Little Hawk. He has gone on a journey to become a man. His tribe Nauset sends the boys out to the wilderness to survive on there own for 3 months. So far his journey has been rough considering they can only bring a tomahawk, bow and arrows, moccasins, and a knife. With this they have to survive through the winter on there only till spring.
Question 1 Time in History: The book is based back in the 1700's. This is to me what makes the book even better. It can go into detail with description about what is happening. If the time period was changed the book wouldn't of came together and wouldn't be right because the fact of when they send the boys out on there own journey. There is death in the book already with an elderly woman getting a disease they believe is measles.
Question 2 Structure: The book is a story that is continuous and with it being that it has mystery and excitement. With the events that happen in the book the story basis moves forward in history. I like how the author just uses one point of view to tell the story. I think it is better than having multiple view points that could make the book confusing.
I like they way you hint in your own opinion on the book you've read in multiple places but not to many. You give a subtle feel to the book and describe a bit of what already happened in a balanced amount of detail which makes me a curious to what in the book might happen next.
