| Description | In this video, teenage students will be introduced to "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" by Betty Smith. Summary--The Nolan family is down on its luck. Father, Johnny, is an alcoholic who can't hold down a job. Mom, Katie, cleans apartment buildings—for whatever meager wage she can get. And kids Francie and Neeley sell junk to make a few extra pennies. It's 1912 in Brooklyn, New York, and this is what life looks like when you're living at or below the poverty level. But life isn't all harshness and ugliness for Francie. In fact, in her eyes, life—and Brooklyn, especially—is beautiful. As Francie grows up and her childlike innocence falls away, it becomes harder for her to hold on to the glimpses of loveliness that made life bearable. But Francie is a bright, courageous heroine who will manage to find color and meaning—whatever the world throws at her. This is a great resource to encourage upper grade readers. |
