A smart Indian is a dangerous person, widely feared and ridiculed by Indians and non-Indians alike.
Why would other Indians dislike his knowledge? Wouldn’t they want one of their own to advance? Wouldn’t you think that having one of their own succeed would help them with representation?
I cannot read the words, but I assume it tells me that "Superman is breaking down the door." Aloud, I pretendto read the words and say, "Superman is breaking down the door." Words, dialogue, also float out of Superman's mouth. Because he is breaking down the door,I assume he says, "I am breaking down the door." Once again, I pretend to read the words and say aloud, "I am breaking down the door" In this way, I learnedto read.
He is quite literally narrating the book like a sport commentator would a sport. That’s amusing! When I read books I picture a movie playing in my mind so seeing that he experienced this in reverse is very interesting
I was certainly never taught that Indians wrote poetry, short stories and novels.
This is actually quite shocking for me to hear. I was always told that native Americans were very great story tellers and very proud people of their past. That the Indians kept the history of their people alive through story telling so for him to say that he never learned to do that is awful
didn't have the vocabulary to say "paragraph," but I realized that a paragraph was a fencethat held words. The words inside a paragraph worked together for a common purpose. They had some specific reason for being inside the same fence. Thisknowledge delighted me. I began to think of everything in terms of paragraphs.
Describing a paragraph as a fence is a very interesting analogy but I can see how a young boy can see it in such a creative way. I will definitely be using this analogy when I need to describe what a paragraph is to a younger child
