Ray is doing pretty well. It looks like he might be coming home soon. He was hoping for today, but I am not sure about that. I do think that it will be in the next few days, though.
He has already started to recover a lot of his abilities. He is already changing himself and washing up. He even shaved. He is walking with a walker, but that is going really smoothly. He also has been walking very short distances in the room without any assistance at all. Today, they had him go up and down a flight of stairs, which went really well. All-in-all, he seems to be doing quite well.

I didn't actually fully understand the details. I know that there are certain aspects of Native culture that are not meant to be seen by outsiders. Maybe the controversy was tied to that. I did like the book a lot, though.

I'm sure AJ read the book. The story was amazing and ilove the Native AMerican's viewpoint on things.

I have never seen this one, but I do know the book is often taught in high school. There is a lot of controversy surrounding the book because Native Americans are not pleased with how they are portrayed. I am curious to see the movie!

They are not pleased with how they are portrayed??? Really?? I thought their portrayal was moving and amazing. The white people are pictured in the bad light and i felt it was so real
