Plan of Action for Improving an Article

1. Content to add: Main Characters, Major Conflicts. Since this novel was created before, during and after Civil War, I would expect more connection between the wikipedia introduction with Civil War. 2. I would recommend more reference with novel itself. History book of Civil War and any other information source about author, because both Civil War and author's life may be a solid background of this novel. 3. The 'Plot Summary' part is a little bulky as a summary. It can be more simple but detailed. Or it can be put in more different categories. I also notice that in Reference, the most latest one is in German. Information source may be better if it is in English

Pierce,Tamaro. "Alanna: The First Advanture". Atheneum Books, Sep 1983.

Tamaro thinks that in a men-centered society, men are used to ignore the competence of women. Women's contribution should be respected and valued. Gender equity is important in school education.

1. Gender equity.

2. Social attitude.

3. Stereotype on woman.

Boys are told and taught to act differently from girls. People are how they act and speak no matter what gender. There are good and intolerable people in both men and women

1. Boys and girls are similar

2. Evaluate people from behaviors

Reception

The famous book chain retailer Barnes &Noble has marked Pierce’s work as a ‘must read’ series. The retailer considers The Song of the Lioness as another ‘must collect’ work from Tamora Pierce. At the same time, Barnes &Noble marks this series a friendly and nice starting point for those readers who have not had a chance to enjoy the beauty of Pierce’s work. This series has gained great reputation among readers. From a blogger, My Thoughts Literally!, a long term book reviewer, The song of the Lioness is an amazing book of the young adult fantasy genre. The entire series makes a perfect circle that the last book concludes everything in the collection, which makes a complete finish of the story. /Kevin
