Beschreibung

A fascinating look into the life and times of civil rights activist and journalist, Ida B. Wells. Born to slave parents in 1862, Ida became a teacher while still in her teens, later attending classes at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1883, she boarded a train in Memphis. The conductor informed her she would need to move to the blacks-only car, despite the Civil Rights Act of 1875 outlawing segregation such as this. After refusing, she was physically removed by three men. This marked Ida B. Well's transition from teacher to civil rights activist. Throughout her amazing adult life, she traveled throughout the country, and abroad, advocating for African American rights, publishing stories about the cause, and shedding light the horrors of lynching. While she married and had four children, she continued as one of the nation's leading activists, fighting for what she believed in until her death in 1931. Contextual side stories offer further perspective on key details, locations, and people referenced in Wells's story. Archival photographs, drawings, and paintings are chronologically arranged, adding visual context to her remarkable life and career, as well as the inclusion of further reading and website recommendations, maps, glossary, and index. Content developed for young readers, interest level grades 4-6 (reading level, grade 5).

    In this book, the author, Mwanandeke, has examined the most confused and controversial topic of all the time. That is to say, The Origin Sin, or the sin that was committed by Adam and Eve. It is the most misunderstood concept that resulted in the three major Abrahamic religions going their separate ways. 
    The doctrine of the Origin Sin implies that there is no free-will and we must all follow in the footsteps of our father Adam and mother Eve. In other words, we are left without choice but to inherit their sins and expect to be judged accordingly. Following the Christians doctrine, Jesus was born, raised and died on the cross in order to break the burden of the Origin Sin. Again, all in the name of paying the price of the damage that was done before his existence; washing away your sins and thus, achieving salvation. 
    Whereas, the Jews in the Old Testament and Muslims in the Qur’an, took a different approach of achieving salvation. These last two groups demolished the idea of a single individual dying for the sins of mankind and the sacrifice of blood as the means of achieving salvation.

    “A fun and fast-paced romp.” —School Library Journal 
    Ali has always acted like a copycat to make friends, but when she unexpectedly inherits the ability to change her appearance at will, fitting in seems impossible! Luckily, with the help of her family, new friends, and a touch of magic, Ali might just survive middle school after all. 
    Ali and her parents have moved at least once a year for as long as Ali can remember. She’s attended six different schools, lived in dozens of apartments, and never really felt at home anywhere. 
    But Ali’s parents say living in Saint John, New Brunswick, will be different. They’ve moved in with Ali’s great-grandmother?a lively ninety-nine-year-old with a quirky old house and room for all of them. Ali wants to believe it will be their last move, but everything seems too perfect to be true. 
    To Ali’s surprise, things are different this time, but not in the way she’d hoped. She's inherited the Sloane family power?the ability to change her appearance into any living thing. Ali is a Copycat. Literally. And being the new kid at school is hard enough without worrying about turning into your teacher. Luckily, Ali’s new friends are eager to help. But as Ali soon learns, being a Copycat is no substitute for being yourself. 
    The Copycat is a magical middle grade read for fans of Diana Wynne Jones, by the author of The Frame-Up.
