Why does Zitkala-Sa mash turnips so hard that she breaks the jar in "The School Days of an Indian Girl"? She is homesick and finds comfort and solace in the routine of mashing the turnips. She is so eager to please her teachers that she mashes the turnips with great enthusiasm. She is angry about an unjust punishment and finds satisfaction in taking out her frustrations on the turnips. She is upset that one of her dear friends has just died and relieves her grief by mashing the turnips.

She is angry about an unjust punishment and finds satisfaction in taking out her frustrations on the turnips.

Explanation:

During the school days of Zitkala-Sa who was a girl Indian, she was unable to speak English in her early days in school which affected her communication and understanding. Later on, in her school life, she was able to speak broken English which gives her a little bit of understanding and ability to communicate better which later resulted in her being mischievous thereby resulting in a spirit of anger and revenge.

However, there was a day she was punished for an offense she felt was needless for any form of punishment. In carrying out the punishment, Zitkala-Sa mashes the turnips with full anger in protest against the unjust punishment melted to her.

disrespectable. hope that

the hunger games, written by  suzanne collins, is fiction in the young adult genre, which is not my age group, but i found myself unable to put it down. its combination of nerve-racking tension, thrilling action, and engaging love story kept me up until the wee hours. i was surprised at how completely engrossing the plot was. like  brave new world, this story is set in a future where the government oppresses its people, but the book also borrows ideas from the greek myth of theseus and the minotaur.

divided into 12 districts, ruled by an oppressive government located at the  capitol. katniss everdeen, a 16-year-old girl from district 12, takes her younger sister’s place as one of 24 “tributes” selected every year to participate in the hunger games at the capitol.

while i found this book absolutely enthralling, i was surprised it was aimed at an audience of young adults. it seems extremely intense for anyone younger than 16 or 17. for example, there is a scene where one young tribute is slowly eaten alive by wolf-like creatures all night long, and katniss has to finally throw a weapon at him to end his misery. i found this a little too disturbing when i considered the age of the character.

the intensity of the action was something one would find in a more mature book, but the age of the characters and the simplicity of the prose were aimed at a much younger audience. in addition, this book was written in present tense, which i found annoying, but that’s more of a personal preference than a stylistic fault. it was also edited somewhat poorly, but that rarely distracted from the plot. for example, the author often spoke in sentence fragments to describe how katniss felt, which might have been an attempt to reflect on her thought process, but i found it disorienting to read a lot of really short sentences all together. it would have been better to vary the sentence length on occasion, but the story was still coherently.

overall,  the hunger games  was an excellent, enthralling read that i highly recommend. if it was more clearly marked for older teens, it would have been better, but it was a fantastic book with a wonderfully creative plot.

happy to .

pls mark as brainliest.
