The book I chose is Don’t Sleep, There Are Snake, by Daniel L Everret. I chose this book because the title of the book look very interesting and the subtitle got my attention to know about the life and language in the jungle. Everret is a missionary who travel to the Pirahas to translate the bible into their language.
The thing that most interest me is the relationship between language and culture, because there’s really a relationship between language and culture or not. Also I’m interesting to know how Everret lose his faith by converting the natives. I expect to know after I finish the book is the relationship between language and culture. Also what makes Everret lose his faith in the jungle?
