1. How would this story have been different if the author had narrated it from another character’s point of view?

3. What is the difference between the “inner” voice of Sacagawea and the “outer” voice of Sacagawea?
4. How does the author use word choice to “paint” one picture of Charbonneau and a very different picture of Captain Clark?
5.Sacagawea is portrayed as noble and showing integrity. Other characters are portrayed as less noble than she. Choose a character and explain how
6. One of the themes of this novel is man’s struggle against nature. How is this theme developed in the book?
2. The native american women talked way more about their partners in a negative way. They still did their work diligently, but they gossiped a lot. The were very caring for one another especially when Sacajawea came into the picture.They gave her advice about being a mother. Some of the other Native Americans were jealous but not mean.
ReplyDelete2. How do native women act differently when they are alone, as compared to when they are around men?
ReplyDeleteNative women act as if they are tough when they are alone.Meaning they act as if they run things. When they are around men they more gentle and lady like. They do what they are asked to do and at all times. When men are around woman almost have no say in what happens or how things are ran in the household.
1.The story would be different because it would not really about Sacajawea as much it would have been more about the person who narrated it.
ReplyDelete1. The story would be different because this is an opinionated book from the perspective of Sacagawea. If it had been in the perspective of Clark, there may have been more lovey dovey about his feeling for Sacagawea.
