read this opening paragraph from "an indian father's plea" by medicine
grizzlybear lake:
dear teacher, i would like to introduce you to my son, wind-
wolf. he is probably what you would consider a typical
indian kid. he was born and raised on the reservation. he
has black hair, dark brown eyes, and an olive complexion.
and like so many indian children his age, he is shy and
quiet in the classroom. he is five years old, in kindergarten,
and i can't understand why you have already labeled him a
"slow learner."
why does the author begin his letter in this way?
o
a. to demonstrate that he has command of the language
o
b. to reveal his anger at the teacher's behavior
o
c. to remind the teacher of his son's physical appearance
o
d. to show that he understands the teacher's perspective
