Question

How are the details of the narrator choosing to leave the rez important to the development of the text's theme?

Answer 1

Answer:

The details presented by the narrator show how it was necessary for him to abandon his own people in order to be able to achieve a better life, even if that was not easy. This develops the theme about the difficulty of life in the reserves.

Explanation:

This question is about "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me", a story about an indigenous boy, who in the middle of the precarious situation of his reservation, decides to leave and try a better life away from his people in a city of only whites. It is difficult for the narrator to abandon his rez, but the region lived in many difficulties, such as precarious housing, high unemployment, infertile lands, diseases, lack of structure, among others. Although it is difficult for the narrator to leave his home and leave his own family in rez, he knows that this is the only way to achieve a better life for himself and for the family that has so much potential.
