Iwould like to introduce you to my son, wind-wolf. he is
probably what you would consider a typical indian kid. he
was born and raised on the reservation. he has black hair,
dark brown eyes, olive complexion. and like so many
indian children his age, he is shy and quiet in the
classroom. he is five years old, in kindergarten, and i can't
understand why you have already labeled him a 'slow
learner.

what is the author's purpose in reintroducing wind-wolf to the teacher?
a. to show the teacher that wind-wolf is an individual and not
strange just because he comes from a different culture
b. to expose the teacher's prejudice against american indians and
request a classroom change
c. to allow the teacher the chance to get to know american indian
culture before wind-wolf enters a new classroom
d. to give the teacher a chance to apologize for treating wind-wolf
unfairly
