Summary: Very Good Diary and Compelling
Comment: This story showed the truth about how American people treated Native Americans, even as recent as the late 1800s. As a fan of the Dear America Series and the Royal Diaries, I only recently read this book even though I have owned it for awhile now. Sarah Nita is an ordinary Navajo girl living with her fmaily and aunt's family. But when she and her sister are with the grazing goats, Americans come and take their family away. And so Sarah Nita and her sister set out to find relatives they have in the Canyon de Chelly. After discovering their Grandparents and cousins, it is only a short time before American men come and take Sarah Nita, her sister, and her new family away. And so begins their march in the Long Walk. Sarah Nita keeps her family, and soon many stranger Navajos', hopes up with her many entertaining stories. There are happy parts in this story such as Sarah Nita finding her family and her new love for her male cousin, but this book was tragic and sad, showing how horrible the Natives were treated, such as weak women being shot on the side of the trails and weak men being left behind. I recommend this book for people to read so that they may say the harsh and criminal punishments Native Americans went through. I don't understand how Americans could do sucha horrible thing...

Summary: Beeee Swazy
Comment: TheGirl Who Chased Away Sarrow is a change in emotions that switches throught the story. The begining started out very slow and borning so we did not have any interest in it.So it draged until the middle. My friends say the middle was getting intesting and we read more about when sara nita,kaibah,silver coat, and their fathers side of the clan family got captured and put through the intense feeling of sarrow. I did not inpreticular like the part of the story when the white soilders mistreated the Dine.While the Dine travled many miles to reach nothing.
