BRiaN CLeaRY Zach horton me :] linnnneeaa :P

In this chapter, Zitkala-sa and 2 other indian girls were playing in the snow and falling on their backs in it to look at their inprints. They had only been at the school for a few months and still were "all still deaf to the english language, except for Judewin, who always heard such puzzling things". They knew that they went supose to fall in the snow like they wre doing, but it was to much fun and before long, they forgot the order not to. They were having fun until a shril voice called to then and beconed them back inside. They started walking as slowly as they could back to the building because they knew they were going to be in trouble. "Judewin said: "now the paleface is angry with us. she is going to punish us for falling in the snow. If she looks stright into your face and talks loudly, you must wait until she stops. Then after a small pause, say, 'No'." The rest of the way we practiced saying the small word 'no'." After they got back inside the third girl Thowin was brought into the room with the paleface and she closed the door. They listened at the door to the paleface speaking very harshly to Thowin. The girls reolized they taught her the wrong response and when Thowin said "no" the woman got mad and spanked her. She asked her three questions and she got spanked the first 2 times, then the paleface asked if she was going to fall in the snow again and she said "no" and it was over. The woman lead Thowin out and then left, doing nothing to the other two girls. "during the first two or three seasons missunderstandings as ridiculous as this one of the snow eposode frequently took place, bringing unjustifiable frights and punishments into our little lives." This chapter is also very important because it is a turning point for Zitkala-sa. When she learns to speak somewhat in english then she gets mischevious and she wants to rebel. She feels like she has more control. The story tells how one day she was playing a game and didn't play by a rule that was pointless so she was called in and had to mash turnips for dinner. She was given a wooden spoon and she took all her anger out on them. She mashed the jar so hard the the bottom broke, when a paleface woman took the jar, all teh turnips spilled onto the floor. She was scolded, but not scared because she was so angry. Afterwards she said she felt a little bit bad about breaking the jar, but she was very satisfyed when no turnips were served at dinner that night. -Linnea :]

In this chapter is really when Zitkala-sa starts to learn bit's of english.
