ReplyDelete11) The author chose 1948 b/c there's many problems like rape and racism. And also b/c its still around happening.
12) The ways the novel talks about privilege and the abuse of power is that the sheriff Wesley and Frank think they're better than the Native Americans( Indians ), thinking they're blessed.
13) The effect of David Hayden telling this so many years after the fact that he feels disappointed yet scared.
Group #2
ReplyDelete4. Because Bentrock is so small, everyone would know the secret so quickly. Also, the state has harsh weather conditions. Everyone knows each other.
5. It was David’s story. Even though the story is about someone else, it is in David’s point of view.
6. The moral center of the story is David’s father, Wesley Hayden. Wesley’s decisions affect his brother’s consequences and run the conflict of the story.
7.David’s grandfather is prejudiced against Native Americans. Throughout the story, he makes comments about how he only wants whit grandchildren. And how Indians are lazy and stupid when they are half of the Bentrock population.
Group #3
ReplyDelete8. He is concerned that they might know something that can add to the evidence to put Frank away.
9.I think that they would have let him go. But if i were in the family I would have sent him to jail.
10.No, there wasn't any justice
Group 1:
ReplyDeleteQ1:Through out the story Frank is shown to sometimes be selfish and selfless. In act three he demonstrates both of these qualities. Frank turns himself in without a fight and admitted his guilt being selfless one more time. But he killed Marie and destroyed the Hayden's food stores in a final act of desperation.
Q2:At the beginning of the novel Gail urges Wesley to arrest and turn in Frank but her feelings quickly change. By the end of the novel she just wants the whole situation to be over. People have been sent to free Frank and Frank is being held underneath the house. Due to these things she just wants Wes to let Frank go, and avoid any more conflict.
Q3:In the Epilogue Wesley says "don't blame Montana" when David's Wife asks the family about what happened in Montana. Wes clearly loved Montana as it was where her grew up and lived for much of his life. He feels that you should blame the people in Montana not the land itself.
