Hooked With Sacajawea Through Anna Lee Waldo

It was a great opportunity to meet Anna Lee Waldo, through her book about the life and journey of Sacajawea, the Shoshone princess who was been captured, after the killing of her parents by other tribe. Her life is such a sorrowful, but with grate courage and being a strong woman, which somehow affects my inner being, wishing to be like her. I never know, if some of them were really true, however the way Miss Waldo presenting the story, it is amazingly convincing and agreeable, for Sacajawea story definitely hooked me up on her life, love, perseverance and respectful dignity.

From her life story too, it adds my knowledge about the political adventure of the country, which had been known as the New World, before an Italian explorer, Amerigo Vespucci, where the country was named after him, and there must be another interesting story behind that, why the U.S. from being the New World, was named after the Italian explorer. Why not instead Sacajawea? Just curious, by the way. Whatever, there must be a great purpose. Anyway, Sacajawea in her story was also been involved to some political endeavor of the country, especially when she became a tour guide for Clark and Lewis brothers, the explorer too, under the Presidency of Thomas Jefferson the third president of the U.S. in 18th century. Such, novel written by this Anna Lee Waldo is not only making the readers entertained, but also in put some knowledge and valuable information. It is unquestionable effort, Waldo had written about Sacajawea. The book has a thick bound and number of pages you will be flipping, yet still not enough and had satisfied me, there still more information that I wishes to learn, especially about the present generation of the Sacajawea.

Her life has full on sacrifices and pain, especially with the hands of Toussaint Charbonneau, who happened to be her husband, after the game, which Sacajawea was then the bet. It was a great pain on her, having a life partner like such man, who is full of insecurities over his wife and likewise of greed and unkind. Sacajawea story maybe has a sorrowful life journey, but her courage and perseverance are an influencing factor that can somehow make other woman wishes to have the same fate on love and survival. Anyway at the end of her life, she received recognition of heroism through writing her story that impact to anyone’s life, like mine.

Savajawea novels of Anna Lee Waldo really hooked me and gave me and experience like what the Shoshone princess had, because her story connected my mind and emotion to her.

I'm in-loved with Jean M. Auel

I really love reading, because it is my passion. It is my empty shield that every time, I need to take a break from pain and stress, I may just get my pocket books, and have a ride nowhere, depends on where my reading has taken me into. There are different books I've reading, such as reader's digest, which I love so much too, in fairness, work of Anne Rice, Virginia Andrews, the writer of the novel about Sacagawea, other authors of life and family novels and lastly but not the least, my loved Jean M. Auel in her Earth's Children, the series book of Ayla and Anjolar. This story is really fascinating me. It made me cry, laugh, angry and in-love too? Of course, I am always in-love.


What makes me interested with the story is that, I’ve also learned about the characteristic of animals. Are those all true? I wish, he he he am doubt, sorry. But I want to be a female, lion. I wish too, that the story of Ayla is really true. She such an admirable woman, with courage, strength and persevere with all the pain she has been encountered. I can even relate to her, but not all because she also has a character that I don’t like somehow. Anjolar in other hand is a kind of man who is womanizer, stubborn and hard to get with Ayla. Sometimes, it makes me dislike him. And even, portraying someone, who always hurt me and made me cry, yet I loved so much. Sigh, where is he?


Jean M. Auel in other hand has a talent. Wow! I wish I can be a writer like her, but don’t wanna be equally good to her, because she’s really good. I like the way, she presented the story, that it really made me impulsive and compulsive. When Ayla has moving something for emergency, my feet also were moving and even made my breath difficult, while reading the five book series. But there are also parts of the story, which I don’t like, the sensual part. It is very much demonstrative that it made me to skip it though I wish I don’t. But in general they’ really are good. Jean M. Auel, means a talent of writing novels.


I don’t want to forget someone, named Karsten from Germany too. He’s a good man, a stranger but being nice to me, because he sent to me the fourth book of Jean, “The Plains Of Passage.” Thank you my friend, wherever you are and whoever you are, I am so grateful and been thankful to you for giving me such beautiful book, and also candies that you wanted me to eat, while reading. I hope you’re in good health. Honestly, I read the book for just a day.

Well, all the novels that I had been read are beautiful, however the work of Jean M. Auel has really capturing my heart. It gave me information about other things, especially about nature, animal nature, the people at the early age, their characters, their way to survive, racial discrimination and a lot more. It is informative and seems reality. The earth’s children series of Jean M. Aule are books of knowing about people from the other side of the world, the mammoth which even I haven’t able to see them personally it seems I had seen them already.


You will be in-loved with Jean M. Auel too, when you tried to read her work. Because after reading them, I really in-loved with her and admired her so much.
