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.

kumpel [21]

The main difference between Nel’s relationship with her mother and Sula’s interaction with her mother is that Helene( Nel's mother) raises her with fear and controls her while Sula grows up without a motherly figure,

<h3>What happened in the book?</h3>

This refers to the family background of both Nel and Sula and how they lack a proper motherly influence and how they both grew up.

Hence, we can see that Nel's great-grandmother was a prostitute and because of this, Nel's mother (Helene) tries to hide her background and raises her with fear, and tries to control her life.

Furthermore, Sula and Nel become friends from childhood up until adulthood and it grows and blossoms as they are both complementary to each other in a sisterly fashion.

Are you a competitive person? Why/Why not?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer: You need to answer this about you.

Explanation: A competitive person enjoys games in which there is a clear winner, and generally doesn't like to lose.  If you are competitive, you should explain the things you like to compete at, and how it makes you feel.  E.g. chess, races, board games, entering competitions, and hating to lose.

If you are not competitive, you probably prefer the fun of the game, and don't mind if you don't win, or even don't enjoy competitive games at all.  If this is you, you should explain what things you do that are not competitive, and how it makes you feel. Walking alone, reading books, gardening....
