Our Only May Amelia, Jennifer L. Holm

Significance

The book Our Only May Amelia is important for maybe girls saying they are as good as boys because May Amelia is the only boy in town. Everybody else is man. Except for the women who are married, because all of everybody just moved into town.
May is the only pioneer girl while every other girl in town is Irish an pioneers are not allowed to marry irises.
All of these events are important because while she was doing the events More an more people realized how girls were touth to. In one scene it was mays brother which she had seven of Wilbert the on she shares all her problems with while living in the same room which makes him Mays favorite, Matti who is super nice to her an the oldest, the dad loves him the best because he looks just like him, Karrlo who is really her cousin who is real mean to her but his mom was poor an had to leave one kid behind so she chose the oldest, Issiah, Wendell, Alvin an Ivan who really look after each other of the best of friends. This book is important to me because it shows a bunch poor people i n a little town making it together an with big families with the boys having to do alot for there families, while may amelia makes it out as the only girl when she gets a job that is not cooking and cleaning. I could not think of a real situation that this could happen. This storyn is probley not relivant o eanything except maybe books that show girls doing eanything boys can do. The positive stuff in this every family loved eached other, the negative at the end of the book alot of people in town got sick and died. All the readers should know this story because this was how they had live like in the old days


Perspective

Jenifer L. Holm crated this book,it was in 1899 right after slavery endeed. The author is a girl an the perspective is girls are good as anyone an they should also get the same jobs as anyone. The author does not say that girls are good a anyone but you could tell she was meaning it. If a boy was doing this they might think it was cool to live there because they will do everything with the boys and think it is fun. To third graders i would tell them about the only girl in town and she only had one real companion.My information for May Amelia that good job doing all that you have accomplished if i had approched this problem I would have done what I wanted to do an kept trying.


Evidence

Like I said the authors argument is what she had to grow up with which is girls do anything boys can. She did not use facts because her book is fiction. She proved her opinion by representing it over an over with the main person of the book May.
I do not have a argument an think everything is good at supporting her opinions.


Connection
This event that occured with May Amelia will have an effect on people in the near future will start to to realize that girls can do hardcore stuff. Also that to find new cure for medicine that almost took out the whole town. This effects us today because now girls have more masters degree an more jobs. Head bosses, people in office an lets of other stuff they were not allowed to do back in days which alot of eventions wich help us today. This does not affect my life or on eanbody elses life I know because those times are over. This great knowledge to know about the old times even though about a fiction story you can still learn about it. What i see in everyday life is fighting, people learning, getting arrested, people running having fun, being sad.


Suppostion


I predict since stuff like this has happen it will probly never happen again. The world would be different if stuff like this never happend. If this took place 2 years ago it would probley still be happening. I am glad i chose this book it was a good decision you should read this to you would be glad sad but my favorite thing LOL. WOUGH
