Hear the Wind Blow, is an interesting story that vividly describes every event to the reader, accurately informs them of the troubles many people endured during the Civil War, and constantly keeps them on the edge of their seats. The author, Mary Downing Hahn provides a peek into the world not only through words but through an actual map of Virginia, where the events take place.While the map was very helpful, the words in the book still express dramatic feelings, actions, and words of the characters

Close by the giant textile mill row on row on row of drab terrace houses huddle together as if to fend off the bitter cold of a winter night in December of 1811. Night obscures the narrow streets of the industrial village of Holmeside as morning’s hesitant light pokes through the canopy of dismal clouds. Inside the mill, workers have been toiling for hours.

Skecthing Gustave Calliebotte’s Paris Street; Rainy Day I can smell the rain on my jacket as my fingers numbly make their way across the pad, trying their best to capture an instant in time on a piece of yellow, college-ruled, notebook paper, despite my now apparent lack of artistic ability. As I am watching the scene unfold, I hardly notice the people walking around me, gazing at the same thing I am, before they move on.
