Were William and Myra important to the story?
Why do you think their characters are so important to the story? What did they bring to the group?

I agree! I also think that the dynamic between Sarah and Myra was interesting and sometimes humorous; it made them and the story more personal.gali wrote:Mjgarrison wrote:I think they brought alot of wisdom and insight.

William on many occasions is better able to relate with Sarah as compared to her granddad Tom for example she confides in him that she knows where the spear thrower. In a fit of rage she disappeared with it. This sets the stage for theur second return to the park and William is at the forefront of this. Myra is young and she is able to also relate with Sarah. She is an antropologist who is hellbent on preserving history, she fights for park to be named an archaeological site and prevent Buckhorn mining.

You're absolutely right. Even though Tom and Sarah sometimes think they can each handle something alone, it becomes evident they need their friends and family.Miriam Molina wrote:Myra was Sarah's friend and William was Tom's. The father-daughter exchanges were as important as the grandpa-granddaughter angle. Strong Heart is essentially a story about family and friendship and a human's need for other people.
