DIRECTIONS Use the chart to write down quotations from the following passage that show where the reviewer addresses each of the three evaluation standards. 


   A Man of Principle
What does your way of life mean to you, and what would you be willing to do to defend it? Crazy Horse, chief of the Oglala Sioux, stopped at nothing. Russell Freedman’s The Life and Death of Crazy Horse traces the story of the great Sioux warrior’s fight to save his people’s hunting grounds and way of life in the late 1870s, from his early life on the old Oregon Trail to the unusual events leading to his death. The book’s black-and-white drawings, based on eyewitness accounts and completed in the 1890s by Crazy Horse’s cousin Amos Bad Heart Bull, add authenticity to Freedman’s vivid picture of the life and times of Crazy Horse.
Although Freedman’s fascinating biography of this unique man, known among his own people as “Our Strange One,” will appeal to many young readers, its depth and detail make it especially suitable for young adults. Freedman strikes a balanced tone, but his presentation of Crazy Horse is never dull, as shown in the book’s coverage of the Battle of Little Bighorn and the Sioux warrior’s death.
