Read the below passage from “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” that we read in class as a connection to our study of how memory affects our identity. Please complete ONE of the levels below.

My Mom was sitting in her usual place on the opposite side of the court from my Dad. Funny how they did that. Mom always said that Dad made her too nervous; Dad always said that Mom made him too nervous.

Penelope was screaming like crazy, too. I waved at her; she blew me a kiss.

Then the evil Wellpinit five came running out of the visitors’ locker room. Man, you never heard such booing. You want to know what it sounded like?

It sounded like this:

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

We couldn’t even hear each other. I worried that all of us were going to have permanent hearing damage.

I kept glancing over at Wellpinit as they ran their drills. And I noticed Rowdy kept glancing over us.

At me.

Read the below passage from Collections “Rituals of Memory” that addresses our theme of Identity that we have been focusing on as we read our book of the month “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian.” Please complete ONE of the levels below.

***If you are unsure of which level to complete, begin with Level 1 and continue to level 2 and 3 if you are able to successfully complete each level.

Level 1: Describe a memory that is important to you.

Level 2: Describe a memory that is important to you. How does this memory affect you are?

Level 3: Describe a memory that is important to you. How does this memory affect you are? How do memories connect people together?

Rituals of Memory

Memory begins with various wonders. For my friend Mary, it began with hair. Her hair grew tightly curled. Brushing and combing brought tears. When Mary tried to run her fingers through her hair as she saw others do, her fingers became captured by the curls.

Perhaps that story delights me because it stands as a wonderful  example of our always innocent attempts to explain the world. No matter how long our lives, no matter how far our experience takes us our lives remain connected, always loop back to that center of our  identity, our spirit.
