Native Americans And Shanice Britton
P1
How were American Indians (Native Americans) marginalized (pushed aside in society) and made to feel as if they didn’t exist? Use text evidence from “Would We Be Killed?” to support your answer. Don’t forget to explain your evidence and how it supports your claim.
Native Americans where pushed aside to take out the Indian out of them they did this because Captain Henry Pratt thought Native Americans could never go anywhere in life because they grew up more in nature than to grow up and have a career. Henry Pratt tried taking out the Native American out of the American Indian because he felt bad for them that he thought Native Americans weren't capable of nothing because of the way they lived.Many Native American's like Luther where force to leave home and they're life of being an Indian behind to become someone they're not. Henry wanted to "Kill the Indian and not the Men" because he wanted to change Luther and other children such like him into a more "Casual person" because he didn't like the way Native Americans lived.P2 Question B
What is the purpose of Shanice Britton’s essay? What does she want the readers to know about her and Native Americans living today?
The purpose for Shanice Britton's essay was to show people that Native Americans aren't as different than any other religion they live the same way we live know. Henry Pratt thought it was okay for him to try to change Native Americans when really later on a few years our generation was going to be so much a like. Shanice said "It was sad that my Aunt sisters had to go through this" Shanice was really disappointed because no person should be force to change who they are just because someone doesn't like the way you are. Shanice thought of the fact of Henry trying to take the Indian out of a man was fine but people are who they are because of they're race and culture she was really upset the fact that people such as Pratt that he didn't like how they are , Shanice is no different from any person ,she goes to high school, she lives near a small town and she even eats the same things as any other person.
You have some good ideas, but you need to be a bit more clear. You don't actually discuss the boarding schools and how Pratt planned to push this plan. Also, you need to edit. I am a bit confused in paragraph 2 - you said Shanice was said because her Aunt sisters had to go through this. What does this mean? I think you may have confused a few parts of this story.
