Throughout we read of trees, lakes, fish, turtles, stones and pine needles. There is very little non-natural imagery used. This is deliberate, as the poet is attempting to convey that the natural world is part of Native culture, and to find one's culture is to embrace the natural world for its traditional role. It serves as a source of everything -- in this case the natural world in the form of stones, pine needles and leaves is the key that unlocks the doorway into one's past generations and culture. It is important, the narrative implies, that the culture and the natural world are seen as extensions of each other, and not separated the way they are in the dark, tethered world where land is property.

One cannot find answers in fear, worry and a tethered mind. Only by freeing the mind and reconnecting with one's true self will the answers be found, leading ultimately to a much stronger perspective.

TRIFLES by Susan Glaspell In "Trifles" by Susan Glaspell, the characteristics of the women and the attitudes to their men and their own roles in life are gradually illuminated. The intensity of the situation, in effect two women judging the life of the third, absent party, provides a context in which Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peter grow significantly, in character, strength and importance.

They also focus more on institutional support, like the need for appropriate funding for such educational programs, rather than psychological issues attacked to assimilation.
