welcome back to my blog! Today's task is to write about the setting of the novel. As we always do in our Norwegian lesson. And i would say that it's kind of interesting.
So, I will firstly say that the book i'm reading is kind of weird, because in the first chapter, the first person was named something else who is the mother of Susannah,she was telling the story like: my daughter blablabla ... and Susannah was the main character in the book. Or least in the first chapter. Then from the second chapter, the main character has changed to Susannah's 15 years old sister Magdalena, and i remember that i have maybe heard something like this name in our english lesson page 18. Well, this is not the point. So Magdalena, the second character, a little young girl who was having sex with a local boy, Manuelito. Oh i forgot to say that Susannah's family moved to rural Mexico from The United stats.
As i said right now, the story was taking place in Kalimasan, which is a little village in Mexico. Kalimasan?? I was so wondered about how can those indians figure out so such weird names as we Chinese do!? Well again that's not the point. I don't really know which time period this story is. you know that i can't really judge out which period it could be only with a few conditions. And i even didn't come so far from the book.
The book is more like a discrimination history of old Latin Americans. And the differences between our world is that we are more modern, and like the world got better than it is before! Cause the Latin Americans don't actually gets discriminated of others now. Of course it's not the only reason. You'll see the rest of this next time while you read my blog.
The book seems to have meanings behind it, and it sounds like an interesting book to read. It sounds like its a little bit confusing at times. Can't wait to read more of your blog posts about this book:)
