I loved this book because it utilizes figurative language and has great characterization. Right from the start of the book is examples of figurative language. On the first page the author says, “He wiped the sweat from his brow as the Haitian sun climbed higher in the sky.” This use of personification allows the reader to create a mental image in his or her head of the setting and where this story takes place. I love that it sets the tone for the rest of the story. I also enjoyed the characterization of Josias. I think he is a great example of a hard worker. Josias is depicted as dedicated and respectful of his family. He will do whatever it takes to help them grow their beans and fulfill his responsibilities. He says, “Nothing is growing. I must think of something else.” I love his dedication and I think it sets a good example for the reader. The main theme I took from this book is that determination and hard work will get you through anything. By utilizing books and resources, you can accomplish more than you thought possible. I enjoyed this book for many reasons. Firstly, I liked the language of this book because it portrayed the culture and setting of the characters in the book. For example, the author used the term “hold the book” instead of “go to school” in order to portray the language that would be used in Haiti. Secondly, I enjoyed the character development of Josias in the book. For instance, Josias does not want to go to school at the beginning, but then he realizes that he will learn to farm better at school and decides to “hold the book.” I think that this expresses great growth in Josias, and I like that he was able to learn more as the book progressed. The big idea of this story is that school can teach you about anything and can help you in ways you never imagined. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Each day Chrislove asks his friend Josias when he will "hold the book," or join them at school, but Josias can only think of tending the bean garden so that his family will have enough food. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Uses: I would use this to show one of the different perspectives held about school by children in other countries. It is a very hands-on and personal way to learn about another culture.
