A recent survey states that on average, 8-18 year olds spend 6 hours and 21 minutes per day using media (including TV, video/DVD/movies, video games, audio media, computers and print media.)
Do you think this is accurate for you, or do you spend more or less time per day using media? What is your estimate?
The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver
Plot: Marietta longs to get away from her lonely town in Kentucky, so she leaves in her old car. Along the way she is given a baby. The child just stares into space. Upon further inspection, Marietta (who has changed her name to Taylor) finds that the child now called Turtle was sexually abused in the past. Turtle (named for her strong grip), now 3, is assaulted once again while Taylor is out, so the police are called in. Now the state knows that Taylor is not the legal guardian and will take Turtle away unless she receives papers to prove it. This is a touching and wonderful story.
