The different stories depict a different idea of what America and what freedom means. Many of the stories are about overcoming persecution. I kept trying to make more of a connection between the stories. Some of the stories end with an idealistic view of America. I think students should realize the struggles people in other countries face, but I'm not sure they tie together well in this book. I could read a few of the stories (George Washington, Margru, Sampson) to my class, but would have a hard time working others into the classroom curriculum. The title of the book is misleading. ( ) Reviewed by Me for TeensReadToo.com Another winning book in the A NEW LOOK AT AMERICA'S STORY series, JOURNEYS FOR FREEDOM takes you through twenty individual stories of Americans who have made a difference in providing us with the freedom we have today.
