Geronimo and The Bracelet - Melanie Wright

Geronimo and The Bracelet were both about forced relocation. Geronimo was forced to move because he was a Native American, while Emi and her family were forced to move because they were Japanese-Americans. Both groups of people were completely innocent and did nothing wrong to be forced to leave their homes. I think it so shameful that we, as in Americans, could be so cruel to a group of people because of how they look, where they come from, of their different culture. In Geronimo, the narrator was a child, therefore the book and all of their experiences were viewed through a child's eyes. The Bracelet's main character was also a child. Although the child was not the narrator, the reader still got a sense of the experience through her eyes. I think by viewing these type of situations, such as forced relocation, through a child's eyes, you really see things in a different light and sometimes have more compassion for that group of people.
