Sinopse

In "Little Metacomet," Hezekiah Butterworth crafts a vivid historical narrative that delves into the life of a young Native American boy, Metacomet, amidst the backdrop of 17th-century New England. Through a blend of engaging prose and poetic lyricism, Butterworth examines themes of identity, conflict, and cultural representation during a tumultuous period in American history. The book's literary context reveals a transformative approach to children's literature of the time, nurturing a sense of empathy and understanding toward Native American experiences that were often marginalized in mainstream narratives. Hezekiah Butterworth was a prolific author and cultural advocate whose deep interest in Native American affairs profoundly influenced his writing. Born in 1839, he was a contemporary of the Transcendentalist movement, which emphasized the interconnectedness of nature, humanity, and spirituality. Butterworth's commitment to social reform and education reflected his desire to illuminate Native American history to a broader audience, making "Little Metacomet" not just a tale of adventure, but a plea for recognition and respect for Indigenous peoples. This book is highly recommended for readers of all ages who seek an authentic portrayal of Native American history and culture, and for educators aiming to introduce complex themes of resilience and identity in a captivating format. Butterworth's thoughtful narrative not only honors the legacy of Metacomet but also inspires a critical reflection on America's past, making it an essential read for any history or literature enthusiast.

    Little Tommy Tucker sang for his supper. 
    What did he sing for? white bread and butter. 
    How could he cut it, without any knife? 
    How could he marry, without any wife? 
    LITTLE TOMMY TUCKER was a waif of the streets. He never remembered having a father or mother or any one to care for him, and so he learned to care for himself. He ate whatever he could get, and slept wherever night overtook him—in an old barrel, a cellar, or, when fortune favored him, he paid a penny for a cot in some rude lodging-house. His life about the streets taught him early how to earn a living by doing odd jobs, and he learned to be sharp in his speech and wise beyond his years.	One morning Tommy crawled out from a box in which he had slept over night, and found that he was hungry. His last meal had consisted of a crust of bread, and he was a growing boy with an appetite. But Tommy was a plucky boy with a lively wit and a way of making his way. People liked him and so he managed to earn a living and eat quite well and ended up as Sir. Tomas Tucker.
