reading book #1 !

The first book i had read was "Trouble's Daughter" by Katherine Kirkpatrick.

Prediction After Book
My prediction of what happens after the end of the book is that the man Susanna meets from her brothers work place; John Cole gets married with her, after a while they will have 3 children and Susanna would be the mother telling her children about her story where the Indians took her as their own. Her husband would come every night after work and listen to Susanna tell the children the story for bedtime.

Journal/Diary Entry
Hello, my name is Susanna Hutchinson, everything that has happened to me was over-whelming. Losing my family, and living the life of Indians i barely know anything of. I hated living with the Indians, since they were the people who killed my family, but after seeing how much they care for me, protect me and love me, i have learned to love and accept them as a family. Later on i am faced with the decision that separates my Indian life and from my old life. Of course i was excited to see my family members who are blood related to me, but I also didn't want to leave my Indian family who I have gone through so much with.

Poem
It is not fair, never will it be.
I am not this "pretty leaf"
I will not love them, I want to be killed.
My mother, i long for her.
They don't understand , nobody does !
They can not make me, I will not let them !
It's too late, i have changed.

This connects with my book by showing what the main character feels like after being taken as a child of one of their own. Susanna, the main character has to go through living a different life with new family members, she doesn't learn to accept them and love them like real family, but after all they have gone through and she sees how much they care for her and how well they protect, she accepts them as family and doesn't want to leave them.
