The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate read for: 6 hrs. completed
The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate is about a girl living in a small town at the turn of the century. She makes a bond with her grandfather because they both share a love for science. They spend days collecting samples. Eventually Calpurnia is faced with a decision, due to the fact that her mom is pushing her to learn to be a proper lady. Calpurnia must choose between disapointing her mother and unshackling the chains that supressed women at that time, or strive for the seemingly impossible and become a scientist.
I related to this book when Calpurnia upon waking in the new century, finds that it has snowed, and gazes about in wonder. This morning I woke up with that feeling that something wasn't right outside. It was still dark outside and i heard this wierd sound as cars drove by. Eventually i fell back to sleep. When i woke up i secretly hoped that it had iced. I was slightly confused when i looked through the small part of my window not blocked by curtians, and was startled to see that it was white outside. I got up and found that the world had been touched by snow. I loved the way it looked and was astounded by its beauty, much like Calpurnia.
I found this book to be usless as i took nothing from it. So i would only give it 2 stars.
