Cheyenne Again is more than a book about indians it is about more. I think this book is about a little boy who has lost all hope and than finds it again. I did not like the people who held little bull as a prisoner. They were trying to get ride of little bulls tribe. I fell bad for him!😥
ReplyDeleteI think they treated them unfairly. It is unfair that he had to leave his tribe for ever. They taught him lies. They taught him to be inglesh instead of Indian.
ReplyDeleteSo true!!
DeleteCheyenne Again is more than a ordinary book. I think it is about an Indian boy that got taken away against his will. But he finds hope and still fells like a Cheyenne again. The main theme is loneliness.
ReplyDeleteCheyenne again is an awesome book. Young Bull was taken from his tribe, and taken to a boarding school. He was treated poorly because they were saying, "Do you want to be a dumb indian all your life?". He had a comfy bed and a nice place to live. He had comfy clothes to wear that got taken away.
ReplyDeleteCheyenne Again is a great book. It is about a young boy called Young Bull. Young Bull was taken from his tribe and sent to a boarding school. He was ten years old when he was taken. One thing that I read about was that the boarding school said you will speak no more about Cheyenne. Another thing they said is you will speak english. I think the themes were sadness and frustration. They where basically trying to erase his fun family memories and start him a new life. It was a sad book, but it was a good book.
ReplyDeleteOne of the themes are taking away. For when they said no more Cheyenne. Another theme that I found was homesick and sadness. When the white man took young Bull to a boarding school. By the way I really loved it it was a sad, happy at the end ,and educating book!
ReplyDeleteOne of the themes was sadness. A boy named young bull was sad because he was taken away from his family and his tent. He had to go to boarding school and he was mad because they cut his braids. And he was also mad because they chained a metal ball to his leg because he ran away. Another theme is loss because he never got to see his parents again. 😭
ReplyDeleteCheyenne Again is is a story based on a indian boy he was treated like a prisoner just not equal he should be treated like a normal person. I think one of the themes is heart breaking like when that lady said " You want to be a dumb indian all your life?" that was really really harsh. He started to loose hope in things and believe in lies that they told him, he had determination and destiny, desire his goal was to return to his normal village with other natives. Though he used passion and hope and sometimes failed but kept trying. Memories in his mind started to float and he felt homesick but he finally reached a goal that may seem impossible but is actually something not too challenging if you just keep trying and believe in destiny.😄
ReplyDeleteThe plot was that the white men took young indian children from their home tribe and family. When they took them they tried to make them like themselves. One thing I read was when one of his teachers said "stop dreaming and work, do you want to be a dumb indian all your life?" I think the theme was heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteCheyenne Again is a story about a boy that didn't get treated equally. I think one of the themes is loss because hi was taken from his coulter. Another theme was loneliness because he didn't have his brothers or sisters with him. Sadness was a theme because he was forced to learn a different coulter. One last theme is heartbreaking because they forced him to listen to lies and not truth.
ReplyDeleteCheyenne Again was an amazing book although it was kind of sad. The plot is about a Cheyenne boy who was ten years old when he was taken from his family. He was taken to a boarding school. They were teaching him lies and omitted important facts about Native American people. Some of the themes were loss, loneliness, sadness, fear, resilience and hope. I liked that he kept on trying to escape but that when he couldn't, he still kept the memories of his family and tribe alive by drawing them. I liked that he didn't just give up even though they cut his hair, made him wear the things that they did and took away things that he naturally wore. They also made him believe in their idea of god and speak English.
ReplyDeleteCheyenne was a great book. It was very deep and heavy. The plot was young bull was taken from his home and was sent to a English boarding school. The teachers told him and other kids lies about Native tribes. There were lots of themes but I chose sadness, anger, fear, loneliness, and loss. There was one teacher who actually understood and said "You are always going to keep your culture on the inside. Don't let us take your memories😢
ReplyDeleteI think cheyenne again has a deep meaning. It was about a boy named young bull. In the book young bull showed a lot of fear and sadness. I would be scared if someone came to my house and took me away to a place i've never heard of. It was sad because Young Bull had to have a ball and chain around his leg. Young Bull was just really scared the school so he wanted to get away from it. Over all cheyenne again is a really good book.
ReplyDeleteCheyenne Again is a book about an Indian boy that was taken away from his family and sent to a school to learn the English ways. I think it was very sad that he was treated so unfairly. The English people were very racist and treated him very different. It was horrible that he never got to see his family again.
ReplyDeleteCheyenne again was a sad story. About an indian boy who was taken away from his family when he was only 10 years old. He had to go to a boarding school, where indians got taken away and had to work for the white people. The themes were he was treated unfairly, he would get sad because he couldn't see his family again because they said that he had to live in a white mans world. One time he even tried to run away from his boarding school IN THE SNOW , but got knocked down and the white people found him lying there and he had to get a steal chain atached to a heavy steal ball and he had to wear that for a WHOLE DAY.

ReplyDeleteCheyenne Again was very sad. It is about a indian boy who gets taken away to a boarding school when he is only ten years old. White men are the people who took him away. They said he had to live like white people. The indian boy did not want to work like white people. He wanted to have his culture in indian. He was treated horribly and the white men were being racist. One time he tried to escape his white man boarding school WHILE IT WAS SNOWING!!! But he got knocked over by all the sow and wind from the blizzard. Some white people who were watched for runaways because the boarding school would pay five dollars to anybody who caught a runaway. For what he did the white people put a heavy ball attached to a chain attached to his ankle for a DAY! When his punishment was done one teacher gives the indian boy some salve to smooth his rash from the chain. Then she tells him to never forget you are indian inside and to never let us take your indian memories.
