#RESIST

Johnny Tremain | Esther Forbes
post image

250 years ago today, the battle of Lexington and Concord occurred. Wonder what our forefathers would think now? My favorite line from JOHNNY TREMAIN, winner of the 1944 Newbery Medal and about the outbreak of said battle, is from James Otis as he's questioning all of the patriots as to why they were fighting: “We give all we have, lives, property, safety, skill...we fight, we die, for a simple thing. Only that a man can stand up.” #resist ✊🏻💙✊🏻

Amiable “Johnny Tremain” is one of those books that I didn‘t fully appreciate until I was an adult. Even as a kid growing up 2 hours from where the Revolution began and with a family history that includes ancestors who enlisted in CT militia regiments. We read it in 4th grade and I hated it. Wonder if it would resonate more in classrooms today? (edited) 2d
dabbe @Amiable I never read it as a child, but I taught it in 7th grade. Maybe 4th grade was a tad to young, because the 7th graders liked it. They needed lots of help to get through it, especially with the vocabulary, but that part I quote above really got to them. I even had everyone stand up at the end of that reading. It was quite moving. 💙♥️💙 2d

rubyslippersreads I might have read this in elementary school, but I‘m rereading it now in honor of 250 years, and really enjoying it. 2d
dabbe @rubyslippersreads This just makes my heart sing. I don't think I truly enjoyed and understood it fully until just a few years ago. I can't wait to read what you think about it. 💙♥️💙 2d
kspenmoll People at the protest held signs referencing this …🇺🇸 18h
dabbe @kspenmoll @kspenmoll What a powerful day to be a part of ... all around.
💙♥️💙

Funny, isn't it? That there are 50 white stripes on a 🟦 background? And only 13 🟥 stripes on the white background? #interesting 🧐 That's only 26% 🟥 but 74% 🟦. Do you think we both symbolically chose 2 💙💙 and only ♥️? Also interesting that the ♥️ is in the middle. 🧐 Yeah ... first and last drink for the night. #mondaynightponderings 🤣

My husband, youngest son and I traveled to DC this weekend to participate in the Hands Off protest there. Current estimates at the moment are that 5 million people attended more than 1,400 protests around the world today. Keep the momentum going! We are the people—and we have the power! #resist
