I am enjoying reading The Farming of Bones. Although it is a sad story so far, I feel like it will be uplifting and have a good message to take away. I can't even imagine Amabelle's life. I was adopted so I can kiiiiinda relate, but not really because I was not an orphan. I can't even begin to imagine how life must have been for her growing up without a family of her own. Then, to love someone so much and then be separated from them not knowing whether or not you will see them again must be devastating. I am still reading the book and I am actually getting into it. This is by far the best book we have had to read so far. Ali and I have been working to put together a class discussion for next week to discuss the book with the class.
I apologize for missing class this week. It makes it difficult to do the blog post because I was not in class to participate in the class discussion so I decided to just write a little about what I have read so far and how I am able to relate to it.
I hope you have a good weekend, see ya next week!
