Nov 8-12 (Title Importance)

My first reaction to the title "Education of Little Tree" was, "is this book a biography about someone?". I thought it meant we would be ready about someone going to school and what there education was. Maybe it was significant because that kind of a person couldn't get an education in that time period. The thought of a former book poped into my head about a black little girl who couldn't get an education in a white school but managed to get in. So far though, the connection I made was far off. When it said little tree I thought it meant we would be reading about someone learning about little trees... At the beginning of reading chapter two, "The Way", the first idea that poped into my head was a path way. When our group was done reading we found out it was a path in a way. "The Way" Is about the way of life. Kind of like the food chain, "to only take the life of animals if they are weak so the strong will live on so there will be more strong later on." It also means other things too, not just eating other creatures. It's sort of like there whole way of life. The heartbeat of mother earth, nature, the sun, pretty much every thing to them is alive. So far we cant infer much form the title "Education of Little Tree", but i'm guessing we will get to learn more info about little tree and his learning further on in the book.
