Norrator point of view about the life of an adult her culture in the "excerpt from minuk :ashes in the path way
Explanation:
Hill's (The Year of Miss Agnes ) finely detailed novel set in a Yup'ik Eskimo village in the 1890s feels mesmerizingly authentic.
Minuk, the narrator, is 12 the spring that the missionary family arrives, and like the other children she is fascinated by the sight of her first kass'aq (white) woman and child. She can't imagine what the "sort of pink butterfly" hanging from the clothesline is (a corset, which astonishes her still further), and when Mrs. Hoff invites her inside for a cup of tea, she sits on a chair for the first time (and tips hers over) and slurps loudly, "to be polite." These initial misunderstandings may be comic, but the encounters between the Hoffs and the Yup'ik have grave consequences. Mr. and Mrs. Hoff condemn the villagers' rituals and practices. Yet, as seen through Minuk's eyes, the customs make sense, and Hill demonstrates that the Yup'ik belief systems are at least as coherent as Hoffs' version of Christianity ("If your god is love," Minuk asks Mr. Hoff, "why does he make people burn in hell?"). The author penetrates Yup'ik culture to such an extent that readers are likely to find the Hoffs more foreign than Minuk and her family. At the same time, the author doesn't glamorize the villagers, in particular exposing the severe conditions facing women. Not only the heroine but the vanished society here feel alive in their complexities. Ages 9-12. (Oct.)

Answer:
A fall from the house roof leaves eighth-grader Chase Ambrose with acute retrograde amnesia. He may not remember names and faces from before his accident, but his classmates certainly remember him, and for the majority of Hiawasee Middle School, the memories are none too pleasant. Chase was the ringleader of a circle of bullying football jocks, who terrorized weaker, nerdier students and even caused talented pianist Joel Weber to transfer to a boarding school. Chase, however, remembers none of this, and his return to school as a perfectly amiable guy is met with understandable skepticism. His football goons want their rowdy, nasty old boy back, but he's perfectly content now hanging with the kids in the video club, where a football player's dexterity translates well to operating a flip-cam. It's not easy, though, for Chase simply to chuck his problematic past and move on to fresher fields—decent friends, new skills, even a commitment to helping the elderly in a local assisted living center—since he's still in possession of a stolen Medal of Honor that he can't remember pilfering but that his old partners in crime know he has stashed away. The pranks of his new crew of "vidiots" and the grouchy outbursts of his new geriatric acquaintance, Mr. Solway, provide ample comic relief, but Chase's very real dilemma—how to remake his life when people (including himself) don't fully trust his character change—is the serious underpinning
