Black Elk Speaks
Black Elk Speaks: High Horse's Courting
Black Elk
Black Eagle
Speaks
1)
Black
eagle thinks that the white men look sick, because they are so pale. He also
thinks they are aggressive, and he doesn’t understand why they kill just for
killing. They kill animal just because they like it and not for food.
2)
The
Indians lives together in harmony white the nature. They live side by side with
the four-legged. They only kill what they needed to survive. But the white men
did not live together with nature. They only used nature and the animals to do
what they wanted and just killed to have fun.
Black Eagle
Speaks
1)
the
story tells me that in traditional Indian live you couldn’t just fall in love
and then be together. It was tradition that the man bought the girl he liked of
her father, and then she became his woman. The story also tells us that horses
were very high priced, because you could use them to by a girl with. The
episode where Red Deer paints High Horses also tells us that the Indians
believed in spirit and were very afraid of bad spirit. So afraid that they
moved.
2)
They
value family very high. The girls would do what her parents wanted her to do.
The also value honor very high. That dad wouldn’t give his daughter to high
horse before he showed him that I was a man who was made of some thing and
could bring honor to the family.
3)
The
different between this story and the normal love stories I know is how the girl
is so bound by her family and what they wanted. She doesn’t have her own free
will. Also the part about the spirits wouldn’t be in a normal love story from
over time and world. And that it is when High Horses steels a herd of horses,
he gets the girl is also a lot different. Because it not normal in our world to
reward for steeling.
