This story was set in the 1930's during Gandhi's great salt march when India was under the rule of Raj of Britian. A great-grandfather was telling his story from when he was little and a part of Gandhi's salt march. He was told that he was too young to listen to the talk of Gandhi but his curiosity got the best of him and he snuck away to listen to Gandhi speak. This only made him more curious though, because Gandhi said they were going to fight the British without hurting them by using salt. So he then marched along side Gandhi and thousands of other people until they got to the sea and took back what was theirs. This is a great childrens book because it teaches them about an important time in history but on a level they can understand. I think it was clever that the story was told from the point of view of a child. It also shows kids that there are better ways to solve problems than using violence. ( ) This book was about a great grandfather telling his story from when he was a boy. He talked about Ghandi and the great salt march. How his parents told him he was too young to understand and know with all the things Ghandi was doing to help free them the British. His curiosity got the better of him and late one evening he packed to go on the march with Ghandi, his older brother found out and decided to go with him. Once they made it to the ocean the boy said they made salt and a lot of people got arrested including Ghandi. The boy will always remember being apart of this big history moment. A Taste of Freedom written by Cody Kimmel is historical fiction book written during the 1930s when India was under control of Raj of Britain. The story is written from the perspective of a young Indian boy while his town gets a visit from Mahatma Gandhi. Although the boy's version of events is fictional and feels very realistic, it is just a fabricated account of actual events. I appreciated this book because it was a light-hearted read about something that was very troublesome during the time of the British rule. Telling Gandhi's story from a young boy's perspective was clever in that it helped convey Gandhi's purpose, which was peace. This was a great book. The great-grandfather told the story of when he was a little boy and became part of history following Gandhi during the Salt March. He was told he was too little but his curiosity wouldn't allow him to sit on the side. Gandhi's arrival to India cause a great uproar which made it easy for him to sneak away. He was caught by his older brother packing a bag in the middle of the night. He stood up to his brother saying he was going make salt with Gandhi and he couldn't stop him. To his surprise his brother didn't try to stop him but instead joined him. The followed Gandhi to the river and made salt. When the British arrived Gandhi and many others were imprisoned but the great-grandfather will never forget the moment in history he followed Gandhi. In review, the now great-grandfather was a part of Gandhi's Great Salt March. Gandhi believes that fighting the British can be done by using salt instead of hurting them. Everyone is baffled by his words, but most go along with him to take the salt. They all wait for the day he decides to march on to Dandi. They agreed with Mahatma that they will not hurt or fight the British no matter what. They all stood up for what they thought was right. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
