Essay 1 Brainstorm (Indian Horse and How She Read): Resistance
similarities
refusal to comply with how things are run/typically happen
HSR: not going with how white people usually follow grammatical rules, and how they write
white people: writing to be understood/express
how HSR is written: not to be understood
though still somehow expressing ideas (that's just what writing is, no surprise there)
purposely written to not be understood; to simulate how misunderstood and frustrating it might've been to live as a black woman
for example: in the science and artist conversation-poem, the woman in the painting had to constantly try explaining herself, instead of being just let be to be who she is
IH: resistance to play in the "big league" that also has other indigenous players
insisted on just playing with the Mooses
the people around him expected/anticipated Saul to play in the bigger leagues; but showed resistance to the idea
both texts show resistance in the context of "minority" groups
IH: indiigenous people
HSR: black women
differences
HSR: didn't succumb at all to what the majority does with grammar
IH: Saul eventually joined the bigger leagues and went down the similar path as most indigenous hockey players
IH: Saul seemingly was complacent; as if he didn't have much of a choice but to join the bigger team
as if he was lacking direction from the beginning
lacking direction from the beginning - just got out of the residential school not too long ago
may be difficult to find his way back home
what makes you think he didn't have much of a choice?
didn't have anywhere else to go
what do you mean, he didn't have anywhere to go?
if he was ever to choose to leave moose, he wouldn't have anywhere to go, remotely
he was too young to try to find his family on his own
what makes you think he's too young to find his family on his own?
3 more items...
the main skill he's been practicing in real life, were hockey skills; to move forward in life, he only had hockey at his disposal
though he did read often when he was at the residential, maybe what he read about wasn't relevant to his life enough to mention a a particular topic/book into the IH story
completely went "my way" with exploring the english language
IH: story seems to focus more on enduring and a journey; rather than
resistance
while HSR: has a great expression of resistance to how english grammar is
questions to consider

resistance can be shown in many ways (here are examples, not directly referring to anything in particular)
humor
apparent compliance
subversion
silent refusal
opposition
what role does "resistance" play in the texts?
why is it shown?
resistence, silence, humor, or secrets?
