An outsider white hippie comes to the boarding school and tells the Indians of how the Blacks and other Indians are standing up for themselves. She suggests, “‘Why don’t you put out an underground paper, mimeograph it ‘“(354). So that’s just what Mary Crow Dog and her friends did. Mary Crow Dog says, “We put together a newspaper which we called the Red Panther. In it we wrote how bad the school was, what kind of slop we had to eat−slimy, rotten, blackened potatoes for two weeks−the way we were beaten” (354).
Since the ranchers trusted their foremen, most ranchers did not stay on their ranch except during shipping season. Foremen would find new born cattle and brand them with their own brand on their rancher’s property. The Northern Wyoming Farmers and Stock Growers Association (NWFSGA) was created out of anger from the rustlers, and tried to kill the seventy rustlers that they identified in Johnson County. The small compilation of rustling ended up in bloodshed. On April 9, 1892, NWFSGA members surrounded a cabin at the KC Ranch looking for Nate Champion.
I assume these themes are different in their own aspects, but all his themes have one thing in common: they help illustrate the unfortunate and ever-continuing story of the Native Americans overall. Having risen in Spokane Reservation, Victor, Indian school boy, faced numerous obstacles, discrimination against himself and author was able perfectly convey it to the readers by giving several examples. The examples throughout the short story are given to illustrate a general point of fiction. In the very beginning of this fiction we learn that as Victor’s hair was too short and his U.S. Government glass were horn-rimmed and ugly, he was pushed down buried by the other Indian boys in the snow until he couldn’t breathe. Consequently, when Victor first started out in school, he did not fit in with the other Indian boys because his hair was too short, and he did not look like a true Indian.
The “Trial of Thomas Builds-the-Fire”, begins with Thomas in the tribal holding cell and the BIA officials talking about how dangerous he is because he is a storyteller who has an extreme need to tell the truth. Thomas didn’t speak for twenty years after he promised to remain silent when he was held for holding the reservation postmaster, Eve Ford hostage. He then begins to make noises and the tribal chairman’s wife leaves her husband after she heard Thomas speak and he was arrested the next day. When the trial begins he tells the story of how he was a pony in war and fought the whites after they killed over 800 horses. Thomas was one of the only ones to survive and decides to go fight the whites after he sees his fellow brother and sisters wanting to admit defeat.
Task 2 Option 1 Write an essay of 1000 words in response to the following questions: - In what way can Picasso’s Guernica be seen as a form of protest? - Is it continuing to fulfil this purpose today?

However, every artist of the Harlem Renaissance understood the need for African Americans to take part in this movement that sought to progress the success and beauty of the Negro race. Hughes and Du Bois shared two major commonalities: they both had an extreme passion for art, and they both wanted to see the full acceptance of black art in a predominately white society. In their essays, “The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain” (Hughes) and “Criteria for Negro Art” (Du Bois), Hughes and Du Bois recognize the role that race plays in art. They both point out that artists have been adjusting their art to suit the white race: “So I am ashamed for the black poet who says, “I want to be a poet, not a Negro poet,” as though his own racial world were not as interesting as any other world. I am ashamed, too, for the colored who runs from the painting of Negro faces to the painting of sunsets after the manner of the academicians because he fears the strange un-whiteness of his own features” (Hughes 95).

This got him into trouble with the Ku Klux Klan. I later recalled: "When my mother was pregnant with me, she told me later, a party of hooded Ku Klux Klan riders galloped up to our home in Omaha, Nebraska, one night. Surrounding the house, brandishing their shotguns and rifles, they shouted for my father to come out. My mother went to the front door and opened it. Standing where they could see her pregnant condition, she told them that she was alone with her three small children, and that my father was away, preaching in Milwaukee."
The chapter ends with O'Brien telling us what followed Lemon's death: when the unit comes across a baby water buffalo. Rat Kiley, encompassed with anger and gloom due to his friend’s death, shoots the baby buffalo consistently, yet does not fully kill it. These stories reveal that a true war story, is never about war; but rather these stories are about love, memory, and sorrow. More importantly though, we learn that not all true war stories are true. They are what we make them out to be: consisting of fragments of the imagination mixed with some
