When I was 14 years of age, four people I trusted raped me. I knew I had no business being with them, but I wanted to hang out for a while. I had little to no structure. My mom always wanted me inside. I got tired of being in the house all the time. There was nothing to do at home. All I could do was watch TV and sleep. My mom and her boyfriend were always drinking, drugging, arguing, and physically fighting. That is not a good environment for a child to grow up. This made me feel unsafe and…

Gilbert is a 24 year-old boy, who should be out living his life, but is instead stuck with the responsibility of caring for his family. He took on this job after his father committed suicide to escape from it, and this is where all of his problems stem from.

Due to this, my family has always been supportive of my college education; in fact, my grandparents in India have also encouraged me to pursue a higher education, as the opportunity to do so was not easily attainable for them. College is a foreign concept in my family, and I have the privilege to deviate…

In Dakota culture, children were first in all things, especially through the eyes of their female relatives. As the future of the tribe, teaching children how to be respectable and generous adults was of the utmost importance. It is no surprise that Indian women were astounded by the physical and degrading way the whites acted…

came from interviews from different family members including Jan Burg, Travis Burg, Devin Burg, Jordan Burg, Sandy Blue, and Jana Gamage.

In this same story, after the bear family has stopped eating junk food and has run a race, the book makes a point to emphasize that the father is “especially proud” for the success in the race. This representation shows the father bear as childish and immature. The second male gender…
