Book review by Katie-
ReplyDeleteThe book "Tisha", a biography of the life of Anne Hobbs, was about Anne's life in Alaska. She went to a new territory for adventure as a teacher to the kids there. Anne taught in a gold-mining town called Chicken. It was so small everyone in town would turn out for all the community events, like Friday night dances, or the arrival of a pack train. She loved the wilderness and area, but throughout the book she was involved in conflicts because of her treatment of Indian kids. The white people of the area had deep prejudices against all Indians, and when Anne saved a pair of Indian kids from starvation because their mother died, the people of the town had a lot of negative things to say about it. Anne believed white kids and Indian were equal, and by the end of the book her seemingly radical ideas were becoming more accepted by the public.
*****
I would give this book five stars because of Anne's courage and honesty in the book. Any reader had to like the book because of the main character. She had different ideas for the area, but she stuck to them in a nonviolent, determined way. This is why I liked this book.
