Chapter 6 – Memories of childhood

Theme

Part 1

The story "The Cutting of My Long Hair" depicts the prejudice that Native American Indians faced in the west at the hands of the English. It emphasizes the wickedness of racial discrimination. The writer was forced by school officials to wear Western dress and get her hair chopped. The suffering of a minority-group member at the hands of powerful management. Her tribe thought that cowards got their hair chopped. She was opposed to having her long hair cut, but the mighty took over.

Part 2

The narrative "We Too Are Human Beings" addresses the evil of social inequality. This is an excerpt from the author's memoir, 'Kurukku'. Bama, a Tamil Dalit girl, shares her experience in third grade. Although she was unaware of the harmful consequences of untouchability, she had experienced humiliation and embarrassment in her surroundings. The sample demonstrates how caste bias causes low caste folks to be seen as untouchables. Low caste members not only show respect for high caste members, but they also taint everything they touch.
