UCSD Impressions of an Indian Girlhood Questions

 

We read two pieces by Zitkála-Šá:

  • Impressions of an Indian Girlhood (655-60) – autobiography
  • “The Soft-Hearted Sioux” (660-65) – short story

Choose one of the following questions to answer.  Please give specific examples to earn full credit.

  1. How do the two pieces differ in the impressions they give of Native American life and culture?
  2. How do these two pieces comment on the issue of assimilation?
  3. We might describe both of the narrators as naïve, but do you respond to them in the same way

I would like to see at least one well developed paragraph for the question. Preferably however long it takes to completely answer the question thoroughly
