1. Do you think the residential school was effective in educating Olemaun? (Recall the purpose of these schools).
2. Why would Agnes's mother forbid her to speak English and play with Olemaun?
3. How was Olemaun beginning to see herself? Why?
She was beginning to see herself because she looked into her mother’s mirror saw she had hollow cheeks, short hair, she speaks English and thinks she changed into an outsider
ReplyDeleteI think the residential school wasn’t good for Olemaun because she could not communicate with her family. In the residential school she was taught reading and writing English.
ReplyDelete1. The residential school was not effective at educating Olemaun because she can’t talk to her mother or her sisters and brothers in her native language.
ReplyDelete2. Anges’s mother dose not want her to speak English cause she dose not want her to be a outsider.
3. She feels left out because no one forgets who she is.
ReplyDelete1. The school didn’t do a good job on teaching Olemaun what she needs to know, like her father said they wouldn’t. The school had her for 2 years and didn’t teach her what she needed to know, like her father said. So far she wouldn’t eat her own food, she burned the bannock, can’t speak her Inuit language because the school only taught English and only eat their food. So that proves the school didn’t teach her very well. So Olemaun and her family
2. I think Agnes’s mother forbid her play with or talk to Olemaun because she doesn’t want her daughter to be an outsider forever.
3. Olemaun is starting to see herself because she’s with her family and starting to fit in more and more with her Inuit family. She is learning and speaking some of her Inuit language.
1. This school educated but she lost her culture and can’t speak her language anymore and cannot cook her traditional food anymore and it makes her family sad because they think she is an outsider.
ReplyDelete2. Her mother does not like the person angus is because she is an outsider and she wants to change that so she can have the real daughter she had before she left.
3. She is starting to feel like an outsider because she won’t eat their food she would rather eat outsider foods and she can’t talk to some of her friends because she can’t speak her language or understand it any more or the kids she went to school with wont talk to her because their parent wont let them speak engilsh and she is starting feel left out.
Residential school was bad for Olemaun because she was treated really badly and now she can’t even speak her own language. The dogs think that she doesn’t belong there with her parents now. Because she doesn’t have the scent of her family. Also her family can barely remember her because she left.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comment.
DeleteI AGREE
Delete1. The school was very effective because they make them stay there for so long that they get use to it so they cannot talk to their families.
ReplyDelete2. Olemaun cannot talk to Agnes because Agnes’s mother will not let her speak English.
3. I think she feels sad because she cannot communicate with her family so she doesn’t know what they are talking about.
1. It was effective because she changed into a Christian, and she will not even eat her food that her mom made her. The purpose of Residential school is to change all the girls and boys into a Christian that went to that school and they hope that they will not be the same as they were before they came.
ReplyDelete2. I think that Agnes’s mom forbid her to speak English because her mom might be worried about her becoming an outsider and not herself.
3. She saw how that she was changing into a Cristian, and that she is not herself anymore. And she wanted to be a Cristian but not an outsider.
I like the way you said that Jade. I agree with you
Delete1. Yes it was effective by making Olemaun speak English and she forgot what food she ate as well by forgetting her traditions (the residential school was to make little kids speak English and if they use their language they get beat really hard)
ReplyDelete2. It may be because Agnes’s mother went to residential school and when she got back she forbidden speaking English. She won’t let Agnes play the Olemaun because they both speak English and both of the families want them to speak their language again.
3. Olemaun was beginning to see herself as an outsider because she forgot her language, traditions and the food she eats.
1.I think the school was effective and it did take Olemaun language the school was bad and she can’t talk to her parents and trying not to speak their language she couldn’t speak to her friends and her parents language and speak their family language and the nuns said olemaun was doing great on the letter
ReplyDelete2. I think that Agnes’s mother from speaking English and won’t play with olemaun because she was an outsider to Agnes and her mother doesn’t want her to speak to another language.
3. she’s different because the school and taught her to pray before she eats and she taught her English and she doesn’t n know to cook bannock she said before her father said we will have sour pancakes she said we pray before we eat olemaun said she beginning to see that herself is different because she feels happy to be with her parents but she couldn’t understand her family language and can’t play with her friends because olemaun.
1. Yes I think it’s effective in educating Olemaun because they taught her to do their ways so she can forget her ways
ReplyDelete2. Agnes’s mother didn’t let Agnes play or speak to Olemaun because her mother knew that Olemaun was an outsider and Agnes’s mother didn’t want Agnes to be and outsider.
3. Olemaun is starting to see herself as an outsider than to be like her family. Because she went to residential school they took away her ways and they taught her there way and she is starting to be like them.
question 1 Residential school did not educate Olemaun very much. Olemaun learned a lot of new stuff ,she learns to speak English and read a book. She could not speak to her mother because her mother does not know how to speak English and Olemaun forgot how to speak her own language because she went to school for two year’s straight
ReplyDeleteResidential school was bad for Olemaun because she was treated really badly and now she can’t even speak her own language. The dogs think that she doesn’t belong there with her parents now. Because she doesn’t have the scent of her family. Also her family can barely remember her because she left.
DeleteBecause she wants her to learn her language again and she doesn’t want Agnes to learn English then she can’t speak her language.
She started to remember the bread her mother and father made for her.
Olemaun is beginning to see herself sad because she couldn’t eat the food, talk to her family and feeling out of place when in the residential school she had learned different routines such as praying before her meals and spoke English not Inuit.
ReplyDelete1. Yes I think the school was very effective because she changed so much her parents didn’t recognize her that well
ReplyDelete2. She can’t talk to her friend Agnes because she is now seen as too much like the despised outsider
3. I think she feels sad because she can’t communicate with her family. Why because she was in residential school for two years and now she can’t speak her own language anymore because she forgot how. And now she doesn’t like her favorite food any more. Because she is used to eating the schools food
1. The school is effective the nuns made her stay there for a long time that she forgot her parents Lang wig so she can’t talk to her family .
ReplyDelete2. because she does not want her to get use to speaking English .
3. I think olemaun is stating to see her self as an out sider .
1. I don’t think the residential school educated her very much, because she forgot how to make her food. Olemaun also couldn’t speak Inuvialuit
ReplyDelete2. Agnes’s mom didn’t want Agnes to hang out with Olemaun because she didn’t want her to be an outsider. She didn’t want her to speak English.
3. Olemaun saw herself being a person who could read and write. She didn’t feel like she was a part of the family because her dad had to translate what her mother was saying.
