Usually the publisher tries to be more accurate. But they used several such illustrations by Jean Leon Gerome Ferris (1863-1930), the guy whose painting "The First Thanksgiving" made millions of school kids believe Eastern Woodland Indians wore war bonnets like the Plain Indians. <br />Thankfully, a couple got swapped out when I complained, but not all.<br /><br />MOMO: Being slashed-and-burned is always hard, but I can take it if the end result is OK.<br /><br />The student/teacher r'ship is a tricky thing, eh? <br />Students might want to open up but resent someone with power (grades) doing it TO them... <br /><br />My memory of being a student is that if that space isn't opened up with *love*, it can feel like abuse.Frescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323129046492056942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-19536863353511432632011-01-30T08:32:30.354-06:002011-01-30T08:32:30.354-06:00Gak! how painful to see your work changed!

Ouch! And what a revelation that stiffness hides weakness. That's info I can use. I just had the PT work on my neck and back and she said "You are so tight, like most women who tuck their stress away instead of screaming." Yeah. Well, I'm ready to limber up.
