This is easy for me to understand, as it is similar to going from a third-world country to a more developed country in one day, without warning. The first time that a man to man conflict important to the book occurs is when True Son meets his relatives, specifically Uncle Wilse, who was previously the leader of a White anti-Indian group. They argue intensely with each other, Uncle Wilse getting out of control. I feel that Wilse specifically, but also True Son overreacted. Did Wilse have to tell True Son how much he despised the Indians and Cuyloga? If he wanted to tell John how much he hated Indians he could have said “I don’t like Indians.” John is basically forced into a defensive position. They both state their sides of the story without taking into consideration the others’ like a child trying to get away with something. Soon after, John and his younger brother, Gordie, go to Bejance, the basketmaker, who tells them about Corn Blade, an old Indian who has lived on a mountain for many years and is around 100 years old, who is the only one in the town who could help John if he wants to be an

To begin, True Son’s Indian father, Cuyloga, taught True Son to tolerate pain. At one point the novel states, “In winter he would sit in the icy river until his Indian father smoking on the bank said he could come out. It made him strong against any hardship that would come to him, his father said” (Richter, 1). Cuyloga wanted True Son to tolerate pain and tolerate difficult obstacles. Once True Son was captured from the whites, Cuyloga “took out his white blood and put Indian blood in it’s place” (Richter, 1). True Son believed he became a native and a full blood Indian.

As a citizen of the wonderful city of Laurel, I believe it is my duty to suggest different ideas to keep this city and its people as bright as possible.

Ra was indeed wise when he assigned Set to the desert because of his inability to rule a nation but then, it's unwise of him to favor one over the other. Never before anyone who was underappreciated feel comfortable with it, never. He would've made Set feel like he loves him the same by switching positions between the two brothers every two or three years so that Egypt would have the time to fully develop under one's control and that will benefit Egypt and its citizen but he didn't do what a
