Paragraph 36 in "Behind the Native American Achievement Gap": I also do use that time to tell my children about different perspectives on history. And one of the things I really I try to emphasize a lot with my own children are our own cultural values about expressing thanks and reciprocity.13 We have a lot of different ceremonies that revolve around our fall: harvest of wild rice and hunting, fishing and so forth. And so we try to do Thanksgiving from, you know, a very Ojibwa-specific point of view.
Paragraph 22 in “the last class: the story of a little Alsatian”: Then, passing from one thing to another, Monsieur Hamel began to talk to us about the French language, saying that it was the most beautiful language in the world, the most clear, the most substantial; that we must always retain it among ourselves, and never forget it, because when a people falls into servitude, “so long as it clings to its language, it is as if it held the key to its prison.” Then he took the grammar and read us our lesson. I was amazed to see how readily I understood. Everything that he said seemed so easy to me, so easy. I believed, too, that I had never listened so closely, and that he, for his part, had never been so patient with his explanations. One would have said that, before going away, the poor man desired to give us all his knowledge, to force it all into our heads at a single blow.
Answer:
A. They demonstrate the pride that both Truer and Monsieur Hamel have in their culture.
Explanation:
Both paragraphs show two men proud to speak of their cultures. In addition, these men recognize the need and responsibility they have to pass on the concepts and characteristics of their cultures to their descendants and show them that they are also responsible for passing on these concepts, allowing them to the cultures, of which these men are so proud, are always alive and admired for all their admirable characteristics. With that, we can say that the answer that best answers your question is the letter A.
