My daughter is reading that book now.
I require her to do a summary of each chapter.
At the end she will rename the characters they are today .... Obama, Pelosi, Reid, media etc.. I will give her room for personal picks but Obama heads the list.
She'll be entering 5th grade this fall. This past year way too much time was spent on the election. Frankly I didn't want to politicize her as much with this stuff. NOW, I will. Pandora's box has been opened and her eyes will be opened too. Another assignment I hope to get to is to do a compare/contrast using the Humanist Manifesto, the Communist Manifesto and the Christian Manifesto (Schaeffer). I want her to see the differences and which one aligns with the Bible.
Actually “Snowball” was Leon Trotsky — another communist revolutionary who ran off to Mexico where Stalin’s agents eventually succeeded in killing him.
