Hi, my name is Paige, and I am in a contemporary first nations class at Pauline Johnson school, while in this class we are starting our first novel called " Indian horse". The main character "Saul". has been through a lot in his life throughout the start of this book. Introducing parts of his life including his sister being taken away while he slept. as Saul grew up his brother ben began to become sick with tuberculosis and eventually passed away. His mother was very quiet and ghostlike, and his father would show his emotions through an angry quietness. Mother reacts to Bens's death very differently and says he should be taken to a priest. even though priests at residential schools formed the mother and left scars within her which I see as an odd thing because why would you want your son to be prayed over by someone who hurt you. The mother and father end up leaving Saul behind with his grandmother. Which leaves Saul questioning why he didn't get to go wit...
