This afternoon, Liam and I read the next chapter in "Sadako and the Thousand Cranes" We discussed the elements of an historical novel and also read a bit about the author of the book, Eleanor Coerr. We talked about her possible motivation and intentions for writing about Sadako. Liam stated that he thinks Sadako was brave. He was encouraged to compare character traits of Sadako to other main characters of shows or books he's watched or read, respectively. With supportive prompts, Liam was able to see similarities between Lincoln and Clyde from Sadako and Willy Wonka, from Charlie and the Chocolatre Factory, and Loudhouse.
