Which of the following best summarizes "The Land of Red Apples"?


A.

Zitkála-Šá, like many American Indians, was not treated well by the paleface and was involuntarily taken to boarding school. Once at the school, Zitkála-Šá and the other children were forced to comfort each other in the absence of their families. The children relied on each other to bear the treatment at the school.

B.

Zitkála-Šá traveled with several other children to a missionary school in the east. She was treated much differently at school than at her home, which caused her anxiety and pain. Her first night at the school, she cried herself to sleep, grieving the absence of her mother and aunt.

C.

Zitkála-Šá first felt impatient to start her journey, but then felt disturbed and troubled by the palefaces staring at her. She resented being watched and the rude curiosity. At the school, she was greeted with too much light and noise and was tossed in the air playfully, but she hated it. She cried herself to sleep.

D.

Zitkála-Šá and other children travelled to a missionary school hoping to enjoy learning and a newfound freedom. While travelling by train they encountered unfamiliar faces and rude behavior. However, the missionaries offered them comfort.

Explanation:

The arrival of Sa's at school was traumatic. All the kids got haircuts. Only enemy-captured cowards got haircuts in Dakota culture. Zitkala-Sa hid in a vacant room. The school personnel brought her out, strapped her to a chair, and chopped off her braids as she wailed. She later said that school employees didn't care about her sentiments and treated children like "little animals."

After a few years, Zitkala-Sa was allowed to visit her mother during school breaks. Her mother urged her to quit school during the visit. Later, she said, visiting home was sad. The teacher returned. She may have felt that she didn't belong on the reserve, like many children. School altered her.
