Answer:
b) Zitkála-Šá traveled with several other children to a missionary school in the east. She was treated much differently at school than at her home, which caused her anxiety and pain. Her first night at the school, she cried herself to sleep, grieving the absence of her mother and aunt.
Explanation:
The arrival of Sa's at school was traumatic. All the kids got haircuts. Only enemy-captured cowards got haircuts in Dakota culture. Zitkala-Sa hid in a vacant room. The school personnel brought her out, strapped her to a chair, and chopped off her braids as she wailed. She later said that school employees didn't care about her sentiments and treated children like "little animals."
After a few years, Zitkala-Sa was allowed to visit her mother during school breaks. Her mother urged her to quit school during the visit. Later, she said, visiting home was sad. The teacher returned. She may have felt that she didn't belong on the reserve, like many children. School altered her.

<u>Judith</u> Ortiz Cofer was born in Puerto Rico. During her childhood her family traveled back and forth between the US and Puerto Rico. Her father was in the military and was stationed in New Jersey. When she was 15, her family permanently relocated to Georgia.
Her poem, <em>El Ovido, </em>published in 1987, urges immigrants not to turn away from the heritage and culture they came from as they settle in a new place -- in this case, the United States. Further in the poem, she says it is "dangerous to disdain the plaster saints before which your mother kneels, praying with embarrassing fervor, that you survive in the place you have chosen to live."
