Read the excerpt from My Story. She took me up a flight of stairs (the cells were on the second level), through a door covered with iron mesh, and along a dimly lighted corridor. She placed me in an empty dark cell and slammed the door closed. She walked a few steps away, but then she turned around and came back. She said, "There are two girls around the other side, and if you want to go over there with them instead of being in a cell by yourself, I will take you over there.” I told her that it didn’t matter, but she said, "Let’s go around there, and then you won’t have to be in a cell alone.” It was her way of being nice. It didn’t make me feel any better.

What tenets of realism are evident in Zitkala-Sa's “The School Days of an Indian Girl”?
Answer: I believe that the tenets of realism that are evident in Zitkala-Sa's “The School Days of an Indian Girl” are the struggles that Native Americans had to go through to "fit in" with the culture of the Europeans. At some point she revolts against at first, but begins to assimilate. Even after she assimilates herself she begins to find herself not belonging anywhere.
How does Zitkala-Sa's realistic representation of her experiences affect readers?
Answer: I believe that the way that Zitkala-Sa's realistic representation of her experiences affect the readers is in a way that they could empathize with the struggles that she had to go through because of the fact that her people's territory was completely overrun.
I hope it helps, Regards.
