I would say that because the government portrayed in Alexie’s poem is influenced by their culture they are very close to their community as well. They are also barely funded.

They try to give assistance but have limited resources. This shows the government on the reservation is close to it’s people but can’t do as much.

Besides her social standing, her being a woman during the time affected her education as well because women were not pushed to pursue education.

She unknowingly agreed to a life of misery and gave up on her first love for the sake of a better life for her and her family.

However, writing can also be incorporated into social media as well. Your take on writing reaching curious people is a great one as this is how some people get inspired to join a movement.

I like how you included it also makes activism accessible to everyone, not everyone has ether chance or will to march in the streets, protest, and more. I also agree that writing is always a component when it comes to liberation.

Children are like sponge’s and learn from their environment. They pick up on everything the people around them say and do. So parents should watch they say around their kids and watch what they expose them to.

A feeling of being overwhelmed and being enveloped entirely by something. There is also a sense of loss and being lost that was achieved with the use of little words.

It accurately describes august in a beautiful way and has a hint of sadness or longing towards the middle. A different and beautiful poem.

You included many foods, flavors , and qualities of your childhood which highlight a little about yourself as well. Your choice of words also made the poem more interesting, especially the last two lines.
