After reading and discussing Heart of a Chief, I now find myself wondering if I read too deeply into diverse children's literature. I tend to look for hidden messages that may not be there. While writing my paper on this book, I came up with some really deep thoughts as to what the book might be implying. But when I came to class the following day and discussed my ideas with my group members, it seemed like my ideas were a little out of range. I think I need to focus on more concrete messages within the text instead of trying to find some "deeper message".
