📖 Hearts Unbroken

Hearts Unbroken is about a highschool girl named Louise who faces racial tension and scorn at school for her being of native heritage. At school, Louise has troubles with boys as she somehow always finds her way to those that are extremely rude and ignorant towards people of color. To make matters worse, massive division and retaliation start at school when the school director casts three people of color into the school's musical, one of which being Louise's younger brother. The racial tension at school heightens, eventually taking a toll on Louise's own extracurriculars as well as her private life. Will things get better for Louise's family, and will the school finally grow more accepting of natives as well as other people of color? I recommend this book because the author does a great job of articulating a message about racism into an easy to follow book about a teenage girl who faces struggles in highschool. The book is an emotional rollercoaster and offers a first hand perspective on racism and also showcases the far reaching effects of racism. Smith also offers political insight in her novel as she mentions the clash between liberal and conservative ideology in this novel.

《心不碎》讲述了一位名叫路易丝的高中女孩的故事,她因自己的本土血统而在学校面临种族紧张和蔑视。 在学校里,路易丝在与男孩相处时遇到了麻烦,因为她总是找到那些对有色人种极其粗鲁和无知的人。 更糟糕的是,当学校校长让三名有色人种参加学校的音乐剧时,学校里开始了大规模的分裂和报复,其中之一是路易丝的弟弟。 学校的种族紧张局势加剧,最终对路易丝自己的课外活动和私生活造成了影响。 路易丝的家人的情况会变得更好吗?学校最终会变得更加接受当地人以及其他有色人种吗? 我推荐这本书是因为作者出色地将有关种族主义的信息阐明为一本易于理解的书,讲述了一个在高中面临困境的少女。 这本书就像一次情感过山车,提供了有关种族主义的第一手视角,也展示了种族主义的深远影响。 史密斯还在她的小说中提供了政治见解,因为她在小说中提到了自由派和保守派意识形态之间的冲突。
