In her diary she wrote, “I love to be employed; I hate to be idle. ”She never forgot that she was Britains queen and always acted with great dignity(尊严).

Others came too, and we made these little grey houses of logs that you see, and they are square, It is a bad way to live, for there can be no power in a square. You have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round. In the old days when we were a strong and happy people, all our power came to us from the respectful circle of the nation, and so long as the circle was unbroken, the people were getting rich. The flowering tree was the living center of the circle, and the circle of the four quarters nursed it. The east gave peace and light, the south gave warmth, the west gave rain, and the north with its cold and strong wind gave strength and continuous power. This knowledge came to us from the outer world with our brief. Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle. The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. Birds make their nests in circle, for theirs are the same as ours. The sun es forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same, and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always e back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves. Our places were like the nests of birds, and these were always set in a circle, the nations circle, a nest of many nests, where the Great Spirit meant for us to nurse our children. But the Wasichus(Indian word for“white people”)have put us in these square boxes. Our power is gone and we are dying, for the power is not in us any more. You can look at our boys and see how it is with us. Where we were living by the power of the circle in the way we should, boys were men at twelve or thirteen years of age. But now it takes them very much longer to be bull-grown. 【语篇概述】本文描述了一名印第安人认为自己的民族被白人从领地赶到方形房子之后, 以前生活中的种种祥和就此消失了。5. According to the passage, the Indians_.
