I am still reading Ophelia Speaks by Sara Shandler. When I first started reading the book I was very interested in it but as I got further in reading the book personally I feel like it gets more depressing.

Personal Essay Black Elk Speaks Before reading Black Elk Speaks I thought that Native Americans were all the same they fought wars and rode around on horse. They either won or lost the wars they fought in and they all lived in teepees. I really didn’t have much knowledge on them.

Going back to the beginning of it all‚ back when
