​

1. Many things happened to Squanto that seemed unfair: he was kidnapped from his home; his family died before he returned home; other Native Americans mistrusted him on his return. ​

 

    Are there things in your world that seem ‘unfair’ – either in your personal life or in broader society?

​

 

2.  Chapter 18 mentions of one of Rembrandt’s paintings, The Girl in a Picture Frame, which he completed in    1641.  The painting is also known by the titles The Jewish Bride and The Girl in a Hat.  Rembrandt was a       prolific artist.  

 

   What are some of his other paintings?  

   What other artists were contemporary with Rembrandt?

   What was the art style of the 1600s?  Briefly describe it​.
