Anacoana

Anacaona:
Sorry; on the navigation thing, the book is spelled wrong. Well, Anacaona is a diary of a girl that is becoming a woman. Anacaona will one day rule the island she lives on, Xargua, with her brother Benchio. But, during her ceremony for becoming a young woman, a cheif from a different island came and had an attraction to her. About one year later, he came back to Anacaona's island and asked her to marry him; she accepted. Anacaona went with her husband, Caonabo's island, and in a few months, she became pregnant. After, the baby was born "pale men" arived on the island Margauna (her new island), and tried to kill all of Margauna. Fortunately, the island defeated the four white men who were supposedly stronger than the strongest island, the Kalinas. Will these "pale men" kill all of Anacaona's race, or will they find a way to fight back? What about Anacaona's baby?

Read the book, and you will find out.



Okey dokey, this is Taylor's opinion on the book Anacaona: I think Anacaona is an interesting book. It was kinda sad the way it ended, but it was really good. It was hard to follow along in some parts, but it was pretty good in most parts. I think the book got really good after she became a young woman. So if you read the book and don't like it, at least read past the part where she becomes a young woman.

So, Chelsea's opinion on the following book is this... I think Anacaona is a pretty good book. Taylors comment about the sad ending is definetly right. It is a really interesting book, with the ocansional confusing part. Just so you know a lightning stick, I think that's what they called it, is a gun. :D Anyway, peace out home dogs!!

 OK, so here are a few activities your book club can do:  1) Keep a diary of your life over the next couple of weeks, explain who you are and big events in your life. Share and compare you writings with your club. 2) Write Anacaona (or another character) an advice letter. Tell them the situation you are giving them advice on and write advice. Share and compare with your group.  3) Get in partners or small groups and act out a scene from the book. Make sure each group can practice for at least a couple hours before they perform.
