It is a very common feature among the children that they notice even the slightest actions of their elders, surroundings and other people. They do not reconcile with their fate but become rebel as and when they get chance. They swell out to raise their voice and bring changes in the prevalent traditions. In reality they are more sensitive, receptive and understand every injustice done to them and their elders. This is the age when the seeds of rebellion are sowed. With the help of their courage, will-power, hard work, strong- determination and far-sightedness, these seeds flower. In this unit one can notice such qualities of two women. One is the Native American Indian by the name of Simmons. She is oppressed, exploited and man-handed by the whites in Carlisle Indian School. She wants to maintain her dignity, honour and identity by not allowing the whites to shingle out her hair. Instead of submitting she resists and she is overpowered in the end. When she is mature enough she mocks the school, the whites and the prejudices of the whites through her writing. In the same way Bama is much inspired by the words of her brother. He labours hard and stands first in the class. Ultimately people come to her of their own accord Thus the seeds of rebellion have been sowed by the circumstances in these two ladies and they attain a commendable success
