Commentary Conducive To Books Sing Down the Moon
The Spanish Slavers were an ever-present threat to the Navaho way of life. One lovely spring day, fourteen-year-old Bright Morning and her friend Running Bird took their sheep to pasture. The sky was clear blue against the red buttes of the Canyon de Schelly, and the fields and orchards of the Navahos promised a rich harvest. Bright Morning was happy as she gazed across the beautiful valley that was the home of her tribe. She tumed when Black Dog barked, and it was then that she saw the Spanish slavers riding straight toward her.List Regarding Books Sing Down the Moon

It is 1863 and fourteen-year-old Bright Morning is a Navaho girl living with her father, mother, and older sister Lapana in a village in the Canyon de Chelly, surrounded by mesas in what is now northeastern Arizona. Her brother had been killed by lightning. Her friends are White Deer and Running Bird, and she is sweet on the young warrior Tall Boy. One spring day, Bright Morning and Running Bird take their sheep to pasture on the mesa. Bright Mornings black dog barks, and that is when she seesNice short story about Native American life. Good for young readers. Found tall boy to be a bit annoying at times. The book description was a bit deceiving but other than that an interesting book to read when you need something short and simple
The book I just read is Sing Down the Moon. This book is so sad because their tribe goes through a lot. They tribe had been so strong for fighting for what is theirs , like they fight for their village and for their food and their place. I recommend this book to my whole class because they would feel bad for the things that happen to people and that they should be grateful for what they have.
My 3rd grade teacher had us read this book, which is kinda odd since I saw that some people shelved this as "Young Adult," so I didn't understand or care about much of it. Now, I am pretty positive I would appreciate this book MUCH more, and I hope that I can get around to rereading it with new eyes:)
So I picked this book up, you know, Scott O'dell I loved Island of the Blue Dolphins in fourth grade, why not? (view spoiler)[(Actually re-read that book, no idea what I was thinking, it was depressing beyond belief, I mean she literally goes back to the island for her brother who dies like two seconds later AND THEN stays on the god-forsaken island for like twenty years ALONE talking to ANIMALS, like DIE ALREADY! But I digress.) (hide spoiler)] OMG, I just- it makes no sense. It doesn't make
A good book, however it was really sad, mostly because it was mostly true.
Follows a young Navajo girl just before and during The Long Walk. A good story, nicely told and with characters well drawn, although the beginning bit seemed too disjointed from the second half.
