More About The Great Gilly Hopkins
Dammit, Trotter. Don't try to make a stinking Christian out of me. Katherine Paterson, The Great Gilly Hopkins // It seemed to Gilly that everything in this world that you cant stand to wait one extra minute for is always late. Katherine Paterson, The Great Gilly Hopkins // I aint got no blood claim on you, and the Lord in Heaven knows I want you to have a good life with your own people. Buther huge bass voice broke up into little squeaky piecesbut its killing me to see you go. Katherine Paterson, The Great Gilly Hopkins //
I liked this book for 3 reasons. 1. Paterson beautifully illustrates raw anger with remarkable accuracy. 2. It reminds you of the worth of a soul, rich or poor, black or white skinny or large almost everyone has a significant contribution to make to people. And 3. Just when you thought that your role as a mother was limited or reduced... Well that was a lot more depressing than I remembered it being from my childhood. This is a great story about not appreciating what you have while striving for something you don't really know. When you get it you're supposed to be happy, right? Apparently not. Terrible. Excessive profanity, a misbehaving main character, religion bashing, and an ending that was way too pat.
