Answer:

she felt that she and her family belonged to neither American or Canadian side.

Explanation:

The young boy's mother told the Canadian border guard that they are coming from and going to a place called "Standoff" because she felt that she and her family belonged to neither American or Canadian side.

The mother simply wanted to be "Blackfoot" and felt that her identity should not rest on American or Canadian Blackfoot. The mothers used the place "Standoff" because that's where she felt like she belonged, a place which neither America or Canada owned, when asked about her citizenship.

True [87]

Answer:

Dee hasn't changed the way she is.

Explanation:

Dee always despised her mother and sister. This contempt was mainly because she did not identify with the family and despises the way they lived. As the story unfolds the way Dee acts with the family remains the same, but she uses the pretext that the family does not embrace the African heritage they have, when in fact Dee does not embrace that heritage, but lives superficially to pass an image of glamor that cannot be compared to the lives of blacks.

2) What effect does the third-person-limited point of view have on the
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

It limits the readers knowledge of other characters.

Explanation:

As opposed to third person omniscient, which consists of an "all-knowing" narrator, third-person-limited point of view only allows the reader to know what the main character is doing. The main character's thoughts may be mentioned, but the reader is not privy to the other character's thoughts, or even their actions when they are not with the main character.
