WHAT TO LEARN:
“Medicine Walk” by Richard Wagamese is a gorgeously written novel that exudes vibes perfect for late autumn and winter reading. It covers vocabulary related to description, adjectives, comparison, metaphors, nature, informal rural Canadian English, indigeneity, relationships (father-son, friendship), heritage, identity, hurt and healing, death, and much more….
QUOTATION:
“He held his hand up to his face and licked the wound. Blood. Old-tasting and rich like the sediment of a river. He looked at Jimmy. The blood on their faces meant they were part of the same stream now, bobbing in the current, borne forward effortlessly under the slowly twirling dome of the sky.”
