Analysis Of Apache Girl Rites Of Passage

The main reason that these stories are alike, are that they relate to women. Whether you are a daughter, or a wife, changes are you can relate to

The main characters of both stories are similar because they are emotional. Similarly, in "Marigolds", When Lizabeth thinks of the marigolds she feels. "chaotic emotions of adolescence, illusive as smoke'' (Collier). She cannot explain the exact feeling she gets when thinking of the marigolds because she gets many feelings. Lizabeth's emotions flow and change like smoke. Similarly, The Indian boy is also emotional when getting his license. The same day a white man named Wally Jim killed himself by driving into a tree, and the Washington state trooper asked them why did he do it. "Don’t know but when we look in the mirror and see the history of our tribe in our eyes, taste failure in the tap water, and shake within old tears, we understand completely''

There are many similarities and differences between The Apache Girl Rite of Passage and The Medicine Bag. To begin, one similarity between these rites of passage are that both of the main characters are going through an important time in their life. For example, Martin is getting ready to receive the medicine bag, an important rite of passage for him and his lakota heritage. In contrast, Dachina is going through a event where she becomes a women. In addition, to both characters going through an important time in their life. There is another similarity, both of the events taking place are traditions. For instance, in the Medicine Bag, the person who has the medicine bag at the time is supposed to give it to the the next son in line. Another example, is that every girl in Dachina’s Apache tribe has to go through this rite of passage to become a women, so it's like a tradition.

Although both Native tribes have rites of passages, they are very different and can be easy to find the contrast. In the Apache native American tribe the young women have to go through a four day ritual on July 4th for their right of passage. These days are filled with dancing, small amounts of sleep, and the need to set aside emotion. This if different from the Lakota boys’ rite of passage. The Lakota boys’ rite of passage doesn't take a whole four days to complete, and certainly did not include an all night dance to test his endurance. Also, from what the book has stated the boy didn’t need to set aside emotion. Although, for the boy to accept the medicine bag, his great grandfather passed. Which can cause different results in emotion. This is different from the Lakota girls’ rite of passage because from what was stated, she didn’t experience loss in her ritual. There are plenty more differences due to native tribes having different rituals, but these are the ones that stick out the most.

One major similarity I found, was how they both spoke of a major incidence with the forces of nature, now although they forces were different, they both still spoke about it and how it slowed them down.
