]]> 2018-01-03 19:53:31 UTC https://padlet.com/dawn_john/xc5fvgu7kiqa/wish/218629939 https://padlet.com/dawn_john/xc5fvgu7kiqa/wish/218632531 I am reading Dear America Where Have All The Flowers Gone? The Diary Of Molly Mackenzie Flaherty. I have learned that her brother is in Vietnam fighting war and I have inferred that most of her relatives are older because 1 of her cousins is a firefighter another a police officer also 2 of her uncles are firefighters  as well as her dad! I have not gotten too far in the book yet, but I have already learned so much. The sad thing about this book, I have learned, is that since her brother is in Vietnam, she can't see him often. He's moving from place to place constantly, so they never know exactly where to go to keep in touch. I hope that this story gets less sad because I really don't like the truth of the book, because this actually happened. I love the book so far though, so I'll be happy to keep reading it.]]> 2018-01-03 20:04:45 UTC https://padlet.com/dawn_john/xc5fvgu7kiqa/wish/218632531 https://padlet.com/dawn_john/xc5fvgu7kiqa/wish/218632584 I am reading The Diary of Lydia Amelia Pierce.
