This scene is important because it symbolizes "The despondency and isolation Zitkala-Sa felt at the school as an outsider among white people and her urges of rebellion and revenge represent the despair and anger of all Native Americans under white oppression in her time. ("An Analysis of the Autobiography "The School Days of an Indian Girl" by Zitkala-Sa", Smith and Media)"

Here as the article " Claiming a Native American Identity: Zitkala-Sa and Autobiographical Strategies" by Sandra Kumamoto Stanley she goes from the "f participant and observer." She was involved in this big event then goes to retire on her own and goes back to observing the white culture and tries to be apart of it to continue to participate and continue her education.

Zitkala was upset by this and as the article "An Analysis of the Autobiography "The School Days of an Indian Girl" By Zitkala Sa" by Smith and Media says "This clever technique disorients the white reader as he is forced to gaze and pass judgment upon his own people" the way she writes and uses descriptive languge and ethos the white reader is forced to feel sympathy for her and feel sorry that the white people of her time were so ignorant and treated her as they did.

As explained by the article "An Analysis of the Autobiography "The School Days of an Indian Girl" by Zitkala-Sa" by Nadine Smith and Demand Media they describe how Zitkala represented the "resiliency and strength of her people." This is a good example as she wins the competiotion and shows the white people who were very discriminatory to her that she is just as good and strong as them, if not stronger due to her ability to over come their prejudice.

she wants the approval of the judges to show that she did belong in the white mans world, it was more than just a competition for her

This is a result of the prejudice and the idea american society had of Native Americans at the time

Here she realizes that her hard feelings may have been a little harsh and not everyone was as bad as those who are prejudice towards her

Zitkala uses different descriptive words to portray the attitude of different students toward her and her victory. This helps the reader understand that even though there was support of her achievement there were also those that were still too prejudice to be happy for her

Zitkala uses imagery and and descriptive language to portray her experience and the size of the event she was speaking at to help the reader feel as if they were there. Perhaps to feel the same anxiety she might have felt.

Majic roots were used for many things such as healing and good lucj. The native Americans thought of nature to be sacred and had many uses for orgainic material such as roots

Here she uses personification of her feelings to catch the readers attention and to portray her disparity and sorrow. She feels that her mom is still angry and that is what she pictures after her victory instead of enjoying the moment in the loneliness of her room

this term is a a contemptuous term used to refer to any woman or girl, and is slang degrading towards Native Americans

Here she uses metaphoric language to explain her feelings towards the students who are being discriminatory towards her.

Here is another example of prejudice that the Native American people experienced at the time. Also this shows how between the two societies she was. she was speaking at a university event living in the white mans world yet she still though of how she let her mother down and still experiences the hate from other as her own people who didn't go to school do.

This is a great example how the author uses ethos to connect to the reader and how she is conflicted and caught between two cultures and socities

This was in the time that native americans were heavily discriminated against by white americans which were the kids mostly in collge at the time

Shelby self proclaims to be compassionate towards the slaves but in this time this is ironic because has slaves which is not humane at all based on its diction.

This is a great example of how Stowe uses descriptive language to portray the type of man Haley is. In this i feel Stowe is trying to portray him as a fake and overly flamboyant to a point to where it is not classy and annoying to the eye.

Again Stowe uses descriptive writing to set the tone of the character as a simple man but one of higher class than Haley.

This term was used in that time to refer to a slave and is no longer or should no longer be used because it historically was used to be demeaning and discriminatory

This is the first time Stowe uses religion to describe someone as if it makes them a better person, this will be a reoccurring theme throughout the text. In the scholarly article "Uncle Tom’s Cabin and the Matter of Influence" by Hollis Robbins she describes this was one of the reasons the book was so popular in its time and still to this day. People liked the appealing or didn't like it causes controversy which is what keeps it a popular novel today.

Mr. Shelby is a kind man towards the slaves but let his greed over run him and does what he is against by selling his slaves you can tell he is uncomfortable with this by the way Stowe describes the pause as "uneasy"

Again you can see religion is important to Stowe Mrs. Shelby is one of the main characters that embodies the religion and morals that Stowe holds dear as discussed in Hollis Robbin's article "Uncle Tom’s Cabin and the Matter of Influence

Again you can see religion is important to Stowe Mrs. Shelby is one of the main characters that embodies the religion and morals that Stowe holds dear as discussed in Hollis Robbin's article "Uncle Tom’s Cabin and the Matter of Influence

Again you can see religion is important to Stowe Mrs. Shelby is one of the main characters that embodies the religion and morals that Stowe holds dear as discussed in Hollis Robbin's article "Uncle Tom’s Cabin and the Matter of Influence

Again here is an example of the parallel between man and women Mrs.Shelby is kind hearted and cares for the well being of the slaves while Shelby just is nice to them because he is a good man not because he actually cares for each of them. She is the reason for tom being a Christ figure as discussed in the article by Robbin "Uncle Tom’s Cabin and the Matter of Influence"

Publishers would often leave out the name of towns for the sake of their image

He was the last sllave enslaved in the united states to be born on african soil

jim crow is after the jim crow laws which enforced racial segregation

Trader here means slave trader and is describing Haley

He is saying that he is smart like the English politician.

Stowe starts to build the unforgettable character here as she describes Eliza worries she would lose her child and Stowe describes the fear she already has. Robbin's article describes how because of the fear Eliza has of losing her child she will do anything which makes her a relate-able and famous character.

He is saying even though working hard can be tedious and hard in the end you get more than the lazy and greedy.

If you buy more than yup have and cannot pay it back you are lowering your self worth and dignity by lying and trying to hide from the issue

This reminds me of today's society most people are caught up with wanting to flaunt all their money they often forget friends family and loved ones

People confuse what they want with what they need

Money and greed can make someone buy too much and ruin and spend what they worked hard to earn

He is suggesting not wasting money on expensive unnecessary items

The working man gains much more

Franklin continues his theme of blaming the sloth or lazy man for unhappiness rather than the government the person again is the problem

The taxes are not the problem the people are
