Three Day Road

The book we have chosen to read was Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden. It was chosen because it talks about World War I and takes the reader for a first-person experience through it through the eyes of a native aboriginal. In Socials 11 we learnt about the war and its implications, however they were merely facts that we were obliged to memorize. This book brings all that together and puts it into something that I can relate. I hope to learn more about how the war impacted the aboriginals. They fought for a country that took over their land in a show of pride for their tribe. I wonder how the skills taught to aboriginals for survival applies to a war situation. Another point of interest is how the military functions and acts during that time period. This book will give an insight of the effects of war to those involved.
