Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen's The Osage Firebird

The Osage Firebird is a story about a girl who keeps her identity even when it could hurt her career. This is a 3rd person omnipotent perspective biography about self preservation. Betty Marie Tallchief, or later known as Marie Tallchief, is a very accomplished ballerina. Her heritage caused her to have many struggles. It is not always easy being different but if you use it to your advantage it can be a blessing.

Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen wrote this story from a 3rd person omnipotent point of view. 3rd person is when you are using key words like her, him, or she to tell a story that you aren't apart of. You can see this when the author says, “But soon she realized,” or “Later in her career.” Omnipotent is when all of the information is expressed through the text. An example of omnipotent, “Those who watched her perform said that Tallchief had achieved the unbelievable.”
Biographies are non-fiction stories written about someones life by another person. This story is biography because it is about Maria Tallchiefs life. It is not a narrative because it doesn't have a plot. It also isn't fictional because this stuff actually
