Contemporary American Indian Literature With Julie the Bolt
Writing Assignment Based on Louise Erdrich’s Tracks
Remember, in this class you can choose to write on either book. The benefits of writing on Tracks are that you can do it early and, of course, it's a great book rich with material. I hope half of you do it now.
The goal of the paper is for you to creatively and critically explore some of the themes in the novel or the creative writing strategies used by Erdrich. Push your self with your analysis and creativity.
How long, Bolt? A minimum of five pages. Most importantly I want a genuine and probing effort, not a superficial treatment.
Title: Create an original title for the essays as well as stories. Titles can help shape the meaning of a piece.
Staple? Type?: Heck yea!
Due when? Next class.
Short story options:
1. Pauline goes through a transformation through which slowly, piece by piece, she rejects her identity, ultimately shedding it in favor of a new one, that of Sister Leopolda. She could be said to have internalized the teachings of missionaries, causing her to abandon the ways of the Chippewa and feel isolated from her community. In a three page story show someone in our contemporary society who transforms through a process of internalizing something oppressive in society.
2. Write a story that uses two contrasting voices to reveal two views on a character, such as Erdrich using the voices and perspectives of Nanapush and Pauline to explore Fleur. Remember Fleur’ symbolic meanings. Similarly, think about the symbolic meanings of the character your two narrators explore.
3. Write a story about a major character in Tracks after the novel ends. Draw on what you know about the character and their actions in the book.
Essay options:
1. Discuss how the characters in Tracks are impacted by the idea of Manifest Destiny. (You will need to define Manifest Destiny.) In what ways has Manifest Destiny effected their physical living conditions of the characters? How will their lives be further effected after the novel ends? Draw on specific details and occurrences within the book to demonstrate this. How do they resist Manifest Destiny? Will the characters in Tracks survive?
2. We never get Fleur’s point of view directly, but have to piece her together through Pauline’s and Nanpush’s very different perspectives. For you, in the end, who is Fleur? What does she symbolize? Why does Erdrich choose to make her the subject of the narrator’s stories?
3. Of all the main characters, Margaret seems to have lost the least (all twelve children still live and she finds partnership with Nanapush). At different points she has been described as a “prickly” old woman, both literally and figuratively. How is her personality fleshed out through the novel, and how do you account for her decision about the Kashpaw allotment? Don’t be too general here. Develop a slant and discuss specific instances in the book (including the latter half).
4. What do you feel is the meaning of the title? What is being “tracked” in the novel? Where do the tracks lead?

The first step when you write from what you read is to be sure you understand what you have read. To ensure your understanding, you should be an active reader. This means that you should read more than once with a different purpose each time, you should ask questions before, during, and after you read, and you should make notes as you read. Once you have read actively, you will be prepared to write in a number of different ways. You will be able to summarize what you have read. That means you are accurately re-telling the author's main ideas in your own words. A summary also gives the major supporting details the author has used to support the main ideas. Once again though, summaries are written in YOUR words not the author's words.Another method of writing about what you have read is to respond to the reading. When you respond to a reading, you pick out a particular point or idea that the author has made and then brainstorm to develop your own ideas based on the author's thought. Unlike Ed Hardy summarizing, you are generating your own ideas based on the author's original thought.Rather than generating a new idea, you may also choose to respond to an idea in the reading. You may agree or disagree with a point Ed Hardy Clothing the author has made. In your writing, you will explain why you agree or disagree with that point. Once again, you are coming up with your own reasoning and your own wording in response to something you have read.A particular type of writing you Ed Hardy Clothes will be required to do is writing answers to essay tests. Essay test questions often ask you to read material and then either summarize the material or respond to it in a particular way. The one thing that makes essay test writing different from other writing situations is the time limit. In a testing situation you will carefully monitor your use of time and you won't put all of the polishing touches in that you would if you had unlimited time to complete the writing.These are some of the ways you can tie the material that you read to the material you write. You will find that if you follow the advice given in this chapter that you will never be at a loss for a topic to write about.
