Question

Which is a symbol of the grandpa's heritage in this excerpt?

Answer 1

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Read this excerpt from "The Medicine Bag.” All I could do was stand there with the whole neighborhood watching and shake the hand of the leather-brown old man. I saw how his gray hair straggled from under his big black hat, which had a drooping feather in its crown. His rumpled black suit hung like a sack over his stooped frame. As he shook my hand, his coat fell open to expose a bright red satin shirt with a beaded bolo tie under the collar. His get-up wasn’t out of place on the reservation, but it sure was here, and I wanted to sink right through the pavement. Which is a symbol of the grandpa's heritage in this excerpt? the handshake, the drooping feather, the rumpled black suit, the neighborhood

Answer:

the drooping feather

Explanation:

The drooping feather, shown in the text above, is not a common thing to put on someone's crown, without there being a strong reason to be placed there. Something that represents the need for this penalty and send a message to anyone who can view it.

In this case, we can say that the drooping feather is the symbol of her grandfather's heredity and is placed there to represent her heredity and everything it represents for those who know it.
