Parent Guide > Through Time and Bitter Distance
Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "Through Time and Bitter Distance" by E. Pauline Johnson.
In "Through Time and Bitter Distance," a speaker longs for someone they love.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Human vs. Nature and Love as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How are we changed by love?" and "How do we view nature?"
