Sitting Bull Book Review
By Alec
We just finished an exhilarating but mournful book called Sitting Bull. It is by Peter and Connie Roop and mainly illustrated (Or photographed) by The North Wind Pictures Archive, and the Library of Congress. This biography has pizzazz, draws you in, and then sends you home with details aplenty.
The main idea of this book is to show us Sitting Bull’s life on a large scale. The book starts when he was born, to when he was 59 winters old, not years, but winters.
This book is fun to read because the authors provide you with rich details from the inside of Sitting Bull’s life. They make me visualize Sitting Bull as majestic and exalted. They make me believe Sitting Bull is a good and tender soul, always giving to the meager and weak. The main characters in the book are: Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, the US Military, the Lakota Sioux, and the settlers of the West.
I think you should read this book because it happened when the USA was greatly expanding and the settlers moved West. This began many conflicts between the Native Americans and soldiers of the US. Also, it tells you about Sitting Bull’s youth, teen, adult, and old age life. My last reason you should read this book is because of its rich and fruitful detail.
This book will make you want to read it frequently. This book is suitable for 3rd- 6th-graders because 2nd and under will have trouble grabbing the ideas. Also the 7th graders and up would need more length. I quote Sitting Bull “ A warrior I have been. Now it is all over. A good review I have.”
