After reading the book "Morning Girls" I had learned much about the Taino way of life. The Taino people were who the book was based on. They lived on the island named San Salvador by Columbus. The story was focused on two characters Morning Girl and Star Boy.
Morning Girl got her name for waking up as the very first person of their family. She was quiet and respectful. Also she mostly wished to see herself as how others saw her.
Star Boy was named for staying up all night. He is very childish. He talks all the time and does not care what others think about him.
The book talks about the island many times and weather. As the book progresses it tells about a storm that separated Star Boy from his family and finally at the very end it speeks of strangers who come to the island.
