 My fiance and I visited the Camp Blanding Museum this afternoon. We were there for about 45 mins, and got to look around at all of the WWII memorabilia. They had a ton of airplanes, ambulances, and tanks in the outdoor part of the museum. Once we got inside, we were able to walk around and read about WWII and the role Camp Blanding played in it. There was a model of the German Prisoner of War camp located at Camp Blanding. It showed where the jail was, the mess hall, the chapel, the theater, and even where they played soccer. Seeing the exhibit where the soldiers slept brought to life how life must have been as a soldier there in the early 1940's.  One of the last exhibits in the museum was about the impact of women in WWII. "The most visible and powerful symbol of the war's impact on the home front was the presence of women in the workplace." (Mormino 345) This was something that we saw many pictures of, including the iconic Rosie the Riveter poster. We saw women wo...

 I have chosen to focus on the relationship between Zech and Glenda for this post. I really love romance and drama, and this relationship has plenty of both. Zech is the son of Emma and Tobias. He is the main character in the second generation of the book. It is important to keep in mind that Zech lived a fairly secluded life in the woods and had no real dating experience up to this point. Zech met Glenda Turner at a Christmas frolic, and was smitten with her.  They rode Zech's horse together, and he introduced her to his beloved dogs that sadly passes not long after this encounter. I believe that Zech was experiencing his "first love" stage, and was very much in the puppy love phase. He talks a lot about Glenda and her beauty and flowery smell. It seemed to me that Zech thought Glenda was too good for him. He makes a lot of comments on her beauty, but not much about their personalities meshing. He also wonders why Glenda - such a beautiful girl - would choose him of all ...

Today, I went and toured the Kingsley Plantation with my fiancé. We went and visited in the early afternoon and greatly enjoyed all of the history we learned. Prior to this visit, I had no idea that there was a former slave plantation within Jacksonville city limits. We toured the kitchen area, the sleeping quarters for both Anna and Zephaniah Kingsley, the barn, and slave quarters. The most interesting (and upsetting) fact that I learned was the story of Anna Madgigine Jai (Kingsley). How she was brought from the Senegal as a slave, became involved in the running of the plantation, freed, and then acquired her own land and slaves.  We spent an hour and a half walking and touring the grounds, talking to the park guide, and reading the many plaques. The ride in was on a long, bumpy dirt road that I wasn’t sure my car could handle!  I loved getting out into nature and learning more about the history of Florida. I’m going to recommend this to all of my friends and family to come ...
