In an article that echos Robart Bard’s piece “Going Indian”, Pauline Turner’s article on “Playing Indian in the Nineties” highlights the juxtapositional messages that are imposed in the 1995 films Pocahontas and The Indian in the Cupboard.

Analysis of The Indian in the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks For this month’s book report I read a book called ‘The Indian in the Cupboard’ by Lynne Reid Banks. This book was about a boy named Omri and his small Indian toy. For Omri’s birthday he received a small Indian toy from a friend and a small cupboard from his brother.

Key, the main character, Sarah, locked her brother in the cupboard to hide him from the French police. I believe that Sarah is definitely not responsible for her brother, Michel’s, death.

maybe Sarah would have decided it was best not to lock Michel in the cupboard. She truly did not know that locking Michel in the cupboard was such a horrible idea. This is made clear when Sarah says “ ‘I didn’t know’ she sobbed, ‘Papa, I didn’t know, I thought we were coming back, I thought he’d be safe.” (De Rosnay 57). Not only did this quote show that Sarah did have lack of knowledge which lead to locking Michel in the cupboard, but it also shows that if she had have known earlier that they would

assignment I will examine different cleaners commonly used in my house. I Ajax I go to the cupboard and find a can of the powder, Ajax. The can use to have a piece of tape to cover the top but now it has been lost; a potential problem. The can has an expiration date on it, 9/98.

dressed and grasping the doorknob in our kitchen on this particular morning. I felt a slight wave of hunger flow through my body, so I suggested to my mother that we have a light mid-morning snack to tide us over before lunch. I searched through a cupboard and found some crackers to take with us. It was going to be a hard day, and although I knew the people at the church would probably bring snacks and refreshments for us, I wanted to be sure that I had a full stomach on which to work. I wouldn't realize
Desired Approval from the Beau Monde “As she drove the familiar route to the school, she considered her magnificent new age.

As I pinched up a little bit, I silently cursed Cam or Hannah, or whoever had eaten the last of the chips and put the bag back in the cupboard. Slipping the little bit into my mouth, I let some fall to the floor so that Bear could grudgingly lick it up. I left the bag opened for Emma and stood next to her on my tiptoes, even though it only gave me a few inches in height, I reached for the cupboard above

In the short story “Miss Brill,” written by Katherine Mansfield, a third person omniscient point of view describes Miss Brill’s usual trip to the park.

As he closes the cupboard, it creaks.¨ This was a very surprising act of Mr. Van Daanś. This shows that he is a very greedy and selfish man. He was instead of caring for his own son, but, was trying to
