Quote Sandwich Exercise:

You should be able to identify most of the quotations below. Choose one and then sandwich it, using your handouts and rubric as guidelines. Use proper formatting. If the quotation does not fully work for you, use just a part of it. Or, you may add to it if necessary. Or, you may choose another quotation to sandwich. Remember the quotation you choose needs to be apt; it needs to match your slices and make a point. And the slices need to be substantial (again, see your guidelines). Have fun making some yummy, hefty sandwiches.

It’s terrible sometimes, inside,” he said, “that’s what’s the trouble. You walk these streets, black and funky and cold, and there’s not really a living ass to talk to, and there’s nothing shaking, and there’s no way of getting it out—that storm inside. You can’t talk it and you can’t make love with it, and when you finally try to get with it and play it, you realize nobody’s listening. So you’ve got to listen. You got to find a way to listen.

A smart Indian is a dangerous person, widely feared and ridiculed by Indians and non-Indians alike. I fought with my classmates on a daily basis. They wanted me to stay quiet when the non-Indian teacher asked for answers, for volunteers, for help. We were Indian children who were expected to be stupid.
