Commentary Concering Books Dogsong

"In the Old Days There Were Songs" Something is bothering Russel Susskit. He hates waking up to the sound of his father's coughing, the smell of diesel oil, the noise of snow machines starting up. Only Oogruk, the shaman who owns the last team of dogs in the village, understands Russel's longing for the old ways and the songs that celebrated them. But Oogruk cannot give Russel the answers he seeks; the old man can only prepare him for what he must do alone. Driven by a strange, powerful dream of a long-ago self and by a burning desire to find his own song, Russel takes Oogruk's dogs on an epic journey of self-discovery that will change his life forever.

Judgment Appertaining To Books Dogsong

This is an Eskimo coming of age story, filled with the dramas of an adventure through the frozen north. A tale written simply enough for young readers, but filed with enough substance for adult readers. In some ways reminiscent of stories by Jack London. A great read for those who enjoy a good Arctic adventure, truly deserving of it's award wins.

In 1985, Gary Paulsen brought his passion for dogsledding to his career as a novelist, and his popularity rose to levels he'd never known in almost two decades of writing. Dogsong was cited for a Newbery Honor, and Gary Paulsen's acclaim continued to grow after that. He had found his audience, and we've been grateful ever since. Paulsen transports us to Alaska in Dogsong, a story of a culture changed by outsiders into something unrecognizable to those who knew its glory days. By the time

I found this one in a stack of books I received from my Aunt's classroom. At first, I couldn't believe 10-11 year old children should read about the harsh and raw lifestyle of an eskimo boy; however, the book is rich in detail about native american customs. It is brilliant coming of age tale. Also, the boy learns of the circular nature of life because animals give their lives to feed man and man returns gratitude to the animals so their spirits will return the next season. He also dreams in a

I really did not like this book. I thought it was slow and there was not enough action. I would not really recommend this book to anyone because it was boring and was not worth reading. Also it was not worded very well.

One day in Alaska a boy named Russel went on a run. Russel is a young boy that is very independent. On his run he was trying to find food for his village. He didn't find anything to kill so he went to a friends house. His friend had stuff to eat. His friend wanted deer eyes to eat so he went out and got him some. His friend loves deer eyes.

With Gary Paulson's books, my relationship is a little strange. I either end up hating it completely or falling completely in love with it. This was one of those I fell completely in love with. The language is simple, so simple that one may mistake it as a story for children. I disagree. He weaves the words in such a way that once I shut the book I am left in a thoughtful mood, and filled with yearning. His descriptions evoke the most wonderful (or not so wonderful, depending on what it is)
