Up until recently it was nothing special. It’s starting to get special. I’m excited for the ending everyone’s telling me it gets CRAZY.

Noticing the diff perspectives within the perspective changes (1st/3rd) wondering what they mean

Fye

Slow start but my focus is low today i like the diff perspectives vibe again

“So? We all fuck up. It’s how we come back from it that matters.”

how does one explain their book for english novel study starts with people being dismembered…

Very easy to read. No opinion yet.

Every line of this book is changing something in me

As for your mom's side, as for your whiteness, there's too much and not enough there to know what to do with. You're from a people who took and took and took and took. And from a people taken. You were both and neither. When you took baths, you'd stare at your brown arms against your white legs in the water and wonder what they were doing together on the same body, in the same bathtub.

People want to say things like "sore losers" and "move on already," "quit playing the blame game." But is it a game? Only those who has lost as much as we have see the particularly nasty slice of smile on someone who thinks they're winning when they say "Get over it." This is the thing: If you have the option to not think about or even consider history... look no further than your last name.

Since started to read this I stay thinking about how different my life would be (if I even existed at all) had South America had mot been colonized by Spain.

Listening to this and im kind of lost Maybe i shouldnt listen to audiobooks i have very little auditory comprehension

"We are the memories we don’t remember, which live in us, which we feel, which make us sing and dance and pray the way we do, feelings from memories that flare and bloom unexpectedly in our lives like blood through a blanket from a wound made by a bullet fired by a man shooting us in the back for our hair, for our heads, for a bounty, or just to get rid of us."

"We are the memories we don’t remember, which live in us, which we feel, which make us sing and dance and pray the way we do, feelings from memories that flare and bloom unexpectedly in our lives like blood through a blanket from a wound made by a bullet fired by a man shooting us in the back for our hair, for our heads, for a bounty, or just to get rid of us."

"Our heads are on flags, jerseys, and coins. Our heads were on the penny first, of course, the Indian cent, and then on the buffalo nickel, both before we could even vote as a people—which, like the truth of what happened in history all over the world, and like all that spilled blood from slaughter, are now out of circulation."

"Two years later there was another, similar meal meant to symbolize eternal friendship. Two hundred Indians dropped dead that night from an unknown poison."

I really like this story- I will definitely reread in the future with a paperback- annotate, I need to figure out everyone’s relations

Rereading for a class project

"you can't sell that life is okay when its not"

(i think)

this will definitely be a 5 star read

Stories are invaluable, but to pay is to appreciate.
