She takes comfort in the nostalgia of her past, which in turn becomes detrimental to her abilities to cope with the present, and ultimately the future. The structure of the poem reveals Nepinak’s concentration on the grandmothers’ priorities. He capitalizes the word Anishinabe, which she speaks in her dreams, while leaving everything else in lower case letters. This proves the importance of her culture, and further exemplifies what is most important to her. She is uninterested in learning English and feels she is not obligated to, she instead expects her grandchildren to learn Anishinabe.

In this way the Landscape is both shaping and being shaped by the characters in it.

Identifying them gives readers a more understanding of what the story is about. “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been” by Joyce Carol Oates, 1966 and “Good Country People” by Flannery O’Connor, 1953”, are two short stories that have a similar conflict, mainly individual against another individual, but their selfishness and pride created issues that neither saw coming until it was too late. In both literary stories, climax played an important part of determining the outcome of the conflict, the crisis rose to a rising increase in tension which in turn made the story’s turning point near the end.
