Brainstorm:

‘They came on Viking Ships’ was written by Jackie French in 2005 and is about a 12 year old girl. Her village gets attacked and destroyed by Vikings. The statement says that Hekja’s attitude changes towards the Vikings from hating them to going through conflicts and problems which change her and the Vikings attitude by marrying Snorri the skald then being Freydis Erikson’s daughter.

Hekja’s hatred towards the Vikings was shown when she started an argument with the village girls to warn the villagers of the Vikings -“we have to warn the village! They won’t have seen them yet!” No! Reena’s voice held real terror. “We can’t go down there!” Pg45-46. Watching her mother and the boy who she had a crush on ignited her hatred even more making it impossible that she would ever try to change her attitude to the people how destroyed her village in front of her. But she was worried on the girls and the village witch Tikka would be slaughtered because they may be the only survivors from the village.

Hekja not just

    At first to Helga it seems like there is no racial problems in Denmark. Although she is stared at almost always, Helga isn’t discriminated against, or treated like a “beggar” because of her skin color. This new life is pure happiness at first, until she starts to analyze things and feels like maybe she is treated differently because of color.

She then finds Anne…
