QUESTION 5 Based on all four sections of The School Days of an Indian Girl so far, which outcome can you Infer the boarding school Is hoping for these Indigenous children they see as "the other"? Marginalization-they want the Indigenous children to keep their own cultural traditions as long as they live life on the fringes of white society. Assimilation-they want the Indigenous children to become Ilike white children. Acceptance-they want the Indigenous children to be part of their community and to bring their Indigenous traditions and values into the white community. Erasure-they want the Indigenous children exiled.

## Step 1<br />The problem is asking us to infer the outcome that the boarding school is hoping for the Indigenous children they see as "the other". The options provided are: Marginalization, Assimilation, Acceptance, and Erasure.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The term "the other" is used to describe Indigenous children who are different from the dominant culture, in this case, the white society. The boarding school's goal is to make these children conform to the norms and values of the white society.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Among the options, Assimilation is the process where an individual or a group's language and/or culture come to resemble those of another group. In this context, the boarding school wants the Indigenous children to become like white children, which aligns with the definition of assimilation.
