It seems like it addresses some very solemn themes but you did not address how it could be incorporated in a classroom?

Or did she just toss a little bit of her personal loss into the character? I’ll bet it was somewhat cathartic for Judy to relay the emotions that she likely felt at the time of her loss through Davey.<br /><br />What particular traits of young adult literature does Tiger Eyes have that appeal to adolescent readers? What about the story do you think might be relatable for students? Is this a love story as well? (With Davey and Wolf, I mean) Or are they just friends? Does Davey call herself Tiger in an attempt to break from her tragic past? <br /><br />This seems like an interesting text. I’m interested to research it a bit. :)<br /><br />Sarah<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14053781223803924806noreply@blogger.com
