Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
Foreshadowing was used extensively in the writing style used in the story of Fools Crow. Discuss the events, thoughts and feelings that happened to individual characters in their lives or in their dreams that were a foreshadowing of the difficulties that the Pikunis and the Napikwans would face, or of the impending devastation wrought by the plague of smallpox and its relationship to the theme of Loss and Change.
Essay Topic 2
Fast Horse did not choose to follow the path of the Beaver Medicine. Fools Crow did not become bitter with the Napikwan and want to follow Owl Child. How do you think the story would have been different if Fast Horse was the protagonist who stayed with the Lone Eaters, and Fools Crow were the antagonist who challenged him?
Essay Topic 3
A minor theme of betrayal was also intertwined in this novel. What constitutes betrayal, and how is this portrayed in Fools Crow? In what ways do the Pikunis as a people feel betrayed? In what ways do individual characters in the story feel betrayed? Was there or can there be any restitution for betrayal?
