Learning About Africa: The Bleeding of the Stone
http://kristintuinier.blogspot.com/2008/11/bleeding-of-stone.html
Tuesday, November 11, 2008. The Bleeding of the Stone. When I first started reading this book, I was worried it would be a boring read. However, after I stuck it out for a while, it started to get pretty good. Asouf begins to tell his story and the visitors arrive. I was curious about the place where all of this happened. The map on the left is of Libya. And I'm guessing of the area near where this book takes place. November 12, 2008 at 8:29 AM. November 26, 2008 at 2:49 PM. View my complete profile.

Learning About Africa: The Language of Johnny Mad Dog
http://kristintuinier.blogspot.com/2008/11/language-of-johnny-mad-dog.html
Tuesday, November 25, 2008. The Language of Johnny Mad Dog. As I've read through. There have been several passages that have caught my attention and I feel have helped me to understand the main characters better (Laokole and Johnny). I just think it is interesting that these two sentences are repeated in the book and I'm wondering if they are repeated at all later on in the book. I guess I'll just have to keep reading.

Reanne's African Lit. Blog: November 2008
http://reanneaa.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 16, 2008. Animals are not here for our entertainment. There is a list a mile long. Of endangered African animals, including gazelles, lemurs, hyenas, leopards, owls, snakes, toads, and more. Just looking at Lemurs, there are 39 different species of Lemurs that are currently endangered. And that’s JUST lemurs. Some of the animals that are endangered in Africa are not endangered in other areas in which they live. So why are so many animals in Africa endangered? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Reanne's African Lit. Blog: Ancestor Stones 1
http://reanneaa.blogspot.com/2008/10/ancestor-stones-1.html
Tuesday, October 28, 2008. I find myself wondering why the book is titled Ancestor Stones,. The stones represent the lives of women ancestors, just as the novel is a collection of their stories. At least that is how I am seeing the ancestor stones. November 11, 2008 at 1:35 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Reanne's African Lit. Blog. The Effects of Colonization in Africa.

Back to Africa: December 2008
http://backwithallenwebb.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 8, 2008. I made a Unit Plan for the final project because I teach, simple as that. I like making Unit Plans now, as compared to in the past because I know what has or can work in a classroom. Amazingly 9th grade students possess empathy and are caring when it comes to autrocoties, or at the very least they can fake it well enough to trick me. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Learning About Africa: 2008-11-16
http://kristintuinier.blogspot.com/2008_11_16_archive.html
Tuesday, November 18, 2008. I was hooked on. Right away. I had been warned that it was told through two different narrators. However, that is the part of the book that I really like. Having the story of Johnny/Matiti Mabe alongside Laokole is really great. One thing that I didn't catch right away was that Laokole is a girl. I didn't realize that until she was talking about the things she was planning to bring with them on the exile from their home because of the soldiers invading for the looting.
