Dakota Circle is an awesome book and the class discussion was interesting. Everyone seemed to view the book the same way in that: it was a narrative, it was written towards adults but in easy conversational language, and it was written on secondhand accounts of stories. It seems like Mr. Isern hears a lot of stories and has to investigate. This I'm glad for because it made me more curious and I see others are now too. We all agreed on that Mr.Isern spends a lot on gas, and he is a conversationalist. Meaning the whole book felt like we were back in class and he was just talking to us which was comfortable. We also came to the conclusion that the stories discover the identity of the plains. They show how the people are and where they are coming from. Also that the book is entertaining. Most of the stories were funny and gave a reason for people reading the book a reason to laugh. I can tell the whole class enjoyed the book as much as I did. I'm sure we all will miss the class dearly.
