Terrific!

Pat Conroy never disappoints

All around a great book!

In The Water is Wide, by Pat Conroy, he does a great job of writing about his experiences on an island called Yamacraw where he is faced with difficult challenges. He shows us how he developed a bond with these childreb abd taught them things they may have never known before. I thoroughly enjoyed this book because he made you feel as if you were him and that you were one of the students watching from afar. This book also made me laugh right out loud sometimes, like when the kids would tell him he was crazy or he would try and trick them when he was teaching them something. This book also made me know why I wanted to be a teacher so badly, so I could make a diffrence in kids'lives just like he did.

A teacher with courage and conviction

As a school administrator I have great respect and admiration for a teacher with the intelectual abilities of Pat Conroy but more importantly I realize how much better education in America could be if we employed and retained more teachers who stood firmly in their convictions. The Water is Wide is a book written to convey a commitment to children not to promote any specific quality of the author. An enjoyable reading experience which I am revisiting this summer during many sailing adventures.

Conroy is a great storyteller!

I have never read a book by Pat Conroy that I didn't love, and The Water is Wide is no exception. Conroy is one of the best writers of our time. I didn't just read this book; I became involved in it. I wanted to help the students myself. As with all of his books, I was sorry when I came to the end.

You don't realize how good you have it!

The Water is Wide by Pat Conroy is a great book. The Book is about a white school teacher going to Yamacraw Island to teach the deprived black children. The book touches your heart and makes you think how well you have it. You will learn many things from this book like what it is not to have a house, electric, and even a good education. I think that all teachers should read this to understand how much some people love their job and this book can help you improve the way you teach. This book is also shows how if you want something so bad and you work at it you can achieve your goals.
