Rating: 2 stars
Summary: uh...
Review: The story line is great and everything, but the writing is terrible! I found million of ways that the story could have been more decriptive and definetely better written. I'm 16 and I could have written better than that when I was 12. If you don't mind poor wrting style, then go ahead and read the book. The storyline was fantastic, but it sorta seemed kinda rushed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excelle
Review: Title of the Book: Song of the Buffalo Boy
Author: Sherry Garland
Publishers: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Year Published: 1992

Author: Sherry Garland was born in Rio Grande Valley, Texas she was born on July 24th. She attended The University of Texas at Arlington; she received a bachelor's degree in French. She majored in linguistics and in English. She has written twenty-five books, both for children and adult. Most of her books are about Vietnam.

Thesis: Some people live in places where they have to very concern about their cultures and traditions, which it keeps them from going beyond and do something good for their selves. The main idea of the book is to believe in yourself, no matter how hard it takes to get what you want never give up. Courage is what everyone needs to get something that would be called "prohibited", unless you fight for it which good rewards come after.

Summary and Analysis:
Vietnamese people hated Americans because they were the ones, who had destroyed and poisoned their town, and since Loi was half American she was not welcomed. The only person who would talk to Loi except her family was Khai, a young l boy that Loi loved. Her uncle wanted to marry her to an officer but Loi did not wanted to marry him but she didn't wanted to go against her uncle's words. Loi and Khai decided to run away but they got separated because of Khai's brother. Loi goes to the city by herself hoping that Khai will come after her, but after a few weeks she realizes that Khai would never come. As she explores the dangerous city she gets an opportunity to go to America and find her father but she gives up that opportunity when she sees that her love one has come to get her. Loi finds out the truth about her American father and she lost interest in knowing him. She decides to go back to her town and marry Khai.
Vietnamese people had so much hate on Americans that they would never mix their blood and who ever had part of American blood it was a disgrace to their culture. During the war in Vietnam American soldiers would get a girls pregnant but had to kill the baby if she wanted to stay with her family. In this book, Loi's mother was thrown out of her house and her family did not helped her when she was having the baby in the street. People were still recovering from the war, they lost everything they had some were well know but after the war they had to struggle in order to survive and they would blame Americans.
