Crooked River  Assignment #7                                    Due: FRIDAY, December 5

Read pages 201-236 (Chapters 36-43)

Choose 2 of the following questions to answer and you must answer the Discussion question; this should be done on a separate sheet of paper or in your reading notebook.  Answers turned in on this slip of paper will not be accepted.

·          Please include specific evidence from the book in each response.  For example: ‘Ten Claw’s death is suspicious for a number of reasons.  One is that Pa accused him of shooting himself while he was running, which could be very difficult, and as Indian John says, “Even Ten Claws does not run slow enough to shoot himself with his own gun.”…’

·         You may not begin a sentence with ‘because’. J

Questions:

1. Why do all of the settlers come to watch the execution?  What does this show about this time period and about the justice system?
2. How does Rebecca react when Amik is taken away in Chapter 39?  What drastic thing does she do?  What effect could this have on her family?
3. Who are the ‘Thunder Beings’ and what effect does the storm have on the execution?
4. Explain the meaning of the poem on page 227.  What is Amik describing?
5. Why does the message that Reverand Doan bring about Amik cause Rebecca to feel both sweet and bitter at the same time?

Discussion:  Who do you think was really responsible for saving Amik: Rebecca?  The Thunder Beings?  Or someone else?  Give reasons to support your answer.

Due Tuesday: Animal Research for your river animal
Due Wednesday:  Typed introduction for your river story
