(I remember doing this assignment from last year!!)
#1. It is significant because they represent how well cared for the children are and how much the family loves them. The school took away the everything that represented their culture because it wasn't the "white mans way".
#2. (I dont remember)
#3. The cultural contrast is that the Navajos believe that it is respectful to look down from their elders and not into their eyes, but the "white men" believe just the opposite. The students felt uncomfortable.
#4. (I dont remember)
#5. It should be forgotten and their culture should be disrupted and gotten rid of, because it wasn't "as good" as the "white mans".
#6. The students hair were cut very short, their clothing and jewelry were taken away for trading to be sold and were swapped out for uniforms. The children were upset.
#7. (I dont remember)
#8. (I dont remember)
Sorry, that I couldn't be more of a help. Its been a while since I read the book. I really hope that this helps though!! Have a great day :D
