On the first page the author implies that the only time anything will happen is when something impossible happens. "Indian woman puts her shoulder to the Grand Coulee Dam and topples it." (Line 2) He Says this to show that he feels forgiveness is impossible, he feels that apologizing wont happen because it is impossible to forgive.

"...flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford."

Could imply that the narrator feels sorrow about the Hanford reactors, since it's grouped with the other bad things.

# data[].attributes.body
Hanford reactors being put with and thus compared to broken 'Flooded cities (and) broken dams" (Line 14) makes Hanford seem like a distant, utopian, broken place.

I think the author hates the hanford reactors because it ruined some of the environment like the Coulee dam. You can see this  if you read The Powwow at the end of the world on pg 76 lines 12-13 the text states. "And then past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors."

# data[].attributes.body
The imagery in the text that allows me to infer about the speaker's feeling of the Hanford reactors is seen in the speaker's scenario they wish will happen of the Grand Coulee Dam being destroyed. They mention the "abandoned reactors of Hanford," as this scenario he is describing is something he wants to happen, the fact that the reactors are abandoned tells me that he feels very negatively of the reactors.

I think the author is upset by the Hanford reactors since they are polluting the river. "...flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors"

The speaker says on lines 14-16, that the salmon have to go past flooded cities, broken dams, and the abandoned reactors of Hanford. That just implies that the reactors had some sort of issue that made people have to leave. The salmon still have to go through that area and they don't have the ability to go somewhere else. Saying that the author won't forgive until the salmon swim through the water even though they cannot swim through. That means that the author won't be forgiving anytime time soon because there isn't an easy fix to the problem that disturbed the Indians way of life.

# data[].attributes.body
He talks of Hanford reactors being abandoned and ignored like there is lots of peace because now they can't make nukes anymore.  On lines 14-16 he states¨Past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford¨ His perspective is that the USA doesn't care about how they affect the environment and when they leave their abandoned reactors to make different things. He also talks about the salmon going past everything at the end of the world making the salmon seem supernatural. He feels that their scourge on the land is gone now and it is free for nature to rule.

On line 14-16 the author says "Past the flooded cities, broken dams, and abandoned reactors of Handford."

This implies the author believes the Handford reactors are another bad thing made by people as it is mentioned with flooded cities and the author writes it like all these things are sort of dystopian and ruining the authors world

# data[].attributes.body
I think the speaker feels that the hanford reactor is abandoned and lost just like some of the towns that were flooded this is supported by line 9 which states: "past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned

The poem talks about the Hanford rectors in a negative way, grouping the destruction of the reactors with the Grand Coulee Dam. Line 14 says " past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors
of Hanford." I think he is showing that the Grad Coulee Dam isn't the only thing we made that affected them and their culture.

# data[].attributes.body
The speaker's purpose is to let everyone know what the salmon will have to go through a hard time to get through Hanford and to where they need to go. On lines 13-16 it says" past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford." saying that the salmon have to swim through all of that before they can get to the reservation where they belong.

# data[].attributes.body
The speaker doesn't seem like he likes the Hanford reactors in lines 14-16 when he says that he will forgive if a salmon swims upstream through the abandoned Hanford reactors. I think he is saying it is impossible to swim upstream after the Hanford reactors and Grand Coulee dam ruined the environment.

# data[].attributes.body
The imagery in the text makes me infer that the author does not have positive thoughts towards the Hanford Reactors hence why it was being categorized with the other disasters as stated on the poem from lines 11-13,"...after that salmon swims upstream, through the mouth of the Columbia and then past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors."

The author seems very angry and worried about the Hanford reactors because he talks about the situation as if the world is ending. The author states on line 12, ¨ ...past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford.¨ This quote sounds like he and others lives are over because of how much the area meant to them.

# data[].attributes.body
On lines 12-13 the author states, "..past the flooded cities, broken dams, and abandoned reactors of Hanford." what this sounds like to me, is the speaker trying to explain that he won't forgive until the dam and reactors are destroyed. If he were to forgive them, it would be after his life would be back to normal and his tribe would return and (line 25)"..when I am dancing
with my tribe during the powwow at the end of the world."

# data[].attributes.body
On Lines 14-16 the narrator explains how the Hanford reactors are polluting the river, and destroying its ecosystem of the river. And disrupts and disturbs the salmon's lifestyle. The author's perspective shows that what might be an amazing economic thing for one person could be the end of the world for another.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the author's perspective is that the Coulee Dam ruined the Hanford Reactors somehow. On lines 14-16 it reads "past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford". In these lines it lists the abandoned reactors of Hanford alongside flooded cities, and other dams broken by the Coulee Dam. It shows no evidence that he was against the Hanford reactors, I believe he was merley stating that they were one of the many things negitivly effected by the Coulee Dam.

# data[].attributes.body
He tries to make you feel the way he feels because the dam and the reactors are on his tribe's land and their sacred land, of course. "I am told by many of you that I must forgive and so I shall after an Indian woman puts her shoulder to the Grand Coulee Dam and topples it."

# data[].attributes.body
The text holds a lot of information about the distaste towards the reactors like, "flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors" Probably being the most important. It shows the harm the reactors have brought towards their people. And shows how it was a waste with it being abandoned. So, an abandoned and harmful reactor is in your neighborhood, I would understand the speakers feeling of distaste towards the reactors.

# data[].attributes.body
When the author says on line 14 and 15 "Past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford". You can infer that he is angry about how the hanford reactors block the salmon's path and pollute the river.

# data[].attributes.body
Lines 18 - 20 state, "..leaps into the night air above the water, throws a lightning bolt at the brush near my feet, and starts the fire which will lead all of the lost Indians home." This quote showcases imagery and helps us infer that the narrator is angry and has a very "when pigs fly" sarcastic attitude. We can tell this because a salmon can't throw a lightning bolt and start a fire; it's impossible, and when people say "when pigs fly", they are basically saying "when the impossible is possible", and this perfectly describes the attitude throughout the story. It also showcases anger because the narrator is angry about how people drove the Native Americans out of their home.

In the text, the speaker uses imagery to talk about feelings towards the Hanford reactors. On page 76, lines 10-15, the author states "I am told by many of you that I must forgive and so I shall after that salmon swims upstream, through the mouth of the Columbia and then past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford" Based on this sentence, I can guess that the speaker is mad about Hanford's reactors because they are polluting the river and killing the samon.

The author doesn't like the Hanford reactors. In lines 12-13, the author says "...and then past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford." The author sees the reactors as an apocalyptic catastrophe that ruined his way of life.

I think that this is Alexie saying how only when the salmon have the ability to swim upstream past the flooded cities, dams, and reactors will he be able to forgive as in the text he says, "after that salmon swims upstream, through the mouth of the Columbia and then past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors"
And the salmon can't do that with the reactors in the way, polluting the water.

# data[].attributes.body
In lines 11-13 it states that " after that salmon swims upstream, through the mouth of the Columbia and then past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford" Inferring that the speaker does not want to forgive.

# data[].attributes.body
On line 12, "the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors" could infer that the speaker thinks its the end of his life and everything is over

# data[].attributes.body
The author's perspective on the Hanford reactors is that of someone who was affected by the building of the reactors and the building of the Grand Coulee Dam, but who had no control over the decision of them being built. He felt angry that he was being told to forgive when nothing had been done to fix any of the things he was being told to forgive for. In Lines 10-13 it states, " I am told by many of you that I must forgive and so I shall after that salmon swims upstream, through the mouth of the Columbia and then past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford." It shows that even though the reactors were abandoned, nothing was done to try and clean up the mess. In conclusion, the author feels angry because he is being told to forgive but no one has given him a good reason to forgive them and he feels like he has no control over what is chosen to be done.

"that salmon leaps into the night air above the water, throws

I can infer that the author has strong feelings against the Hanford reactors as he says in the text "I am told by many of you I must forgive and I shall after that salmon swims upstream, through the mouth of the columbia  and then past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford" he implies that he is angry because of all the things they have done to his own Spokan tribe to ruin his land and hurt his people.

On lines 10-12 the text states, "I am told by many of you that I must forgive and so I shall

"flooded cities, broken dams, and abandoned reactors of Hanford." -lines 14-16. This poem talks about the reactors in a negative way, connecting the reactor to the dam.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the author is upset and sad about how the Hanford's reactors affected the grand coulee. On lines 12 through 16 it says,"that salmon swims upstream, through the mouth of the Columbia and then past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of hanford.

The imagery connects to the author's perspective because he talks about what it will be like when the dam breaks so it talks about the 5 senses when he talks about how it will feel, taste, smell, hear, and see like once the dam breaks

# data[].attributes.body
On line 14 the author states that the salmon swims past the "abandoned cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford." This imagery can lead us to believe that the speaker isn't fond of the Hanford reactors and views them as destructive because because of all the damage they caused on the environment of many other Native Americans.

# data[].attributes.body
What Imagery the author used towards the feeling of the Hanford reactors was on line 12 it says "then past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned
reactors
of Hanford." this tells me that the author feels or more so is emphasizing that these areas/objects have been abandoned and forgotten about and adds like a sad mood towards the already sad poem. (This information can be found on The Powwow at the End of the World located in the close reader digital/Physical textbook.)

# data[].attributes.body
The author uses many examples of imagery throughout the text including his thoughts on the Hanford reactors. On lines 12 and 13, the author states, "flooded cities, broken dams, and abandoned reactors of Hanford." With this, we can infer the author's perspective on the Hanford reactors because of them encroaching on the Native American land and poisoning the environment just like the Grand Coulee Dam. It also includes the author's hopes for the dams to fall in order to set things back to the way they were.

# data[].attributes.body
Throughout the poem, the author uses imagery to show us his point of view. On lines  12-13 in the text, it states, "and then past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford." When I read this quote I can paint a picture of a nearly apocalyptic and empty city, in this quote, he doesn't only mention the Grand Coulee dam which is frequently mentioned and has seemed like the main focus in his poem, but he also mentions the Hanford reactors. He has made it clear throughout the poem that the dam is something he sees as destructive, especially to the salmon. Seeing that he put the reactors on the same line as the dam, can tell us that he has similar views on the reactors and the dam, he won't forgive until they are both shut down so his culture and traditions can return.

# data[].attributes.body
In the text/text, we can see multiple examples of the author hinting at his feelings towards the Hanford reactors. Having a little bit of background knowledge on Hanford, I already know it's a bad deal. It has caused lots of previous trauma to hundreds of people. It would make sense that his feelings towards the reactors would be negative. We see this in lines 12-13, the author states, "and then past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford." This citation shows us lots of imagery on the place called Hanford. What I get out of that imagery is that Hanford is a gross, rundown and broken place. It's hopeless as it may never be cleaned up, at least in our lifetime. This is yet another example of how the author views the destruction of Hanford, and many other things (dams mainly) have affected his homeland. Due to this imagery provided in the text, I can conclude that the speaker/author feels Hanford is a horrible, and destructive place. In the rest of his writing, we can also conclude his perspective on the dams and destruction of the land is that the damage cannot be forgiven.

# data[].attributes.body
The imagery in the text that helps me infer the speaker's feelings about the Hanford reactors would be where it says, "who has three stories it must tell before sunrise: one story will teach us how to pray; another story will make us laugh for hours; the third story will give us reason to dance. I am told by many of you that I must forgive and so I shall when I am dancing with my tribe during the powwow at the end of the world." To me, it sounds like the Hanford reactors sound kinda upset that they are being told what to do by others. Even though they feel this way, they still chose to forgive even when it wasn't need as it is their emotions and feelings

# data[].attributes.body
He said he will forgive then he said "flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford(line 12)" It seems that he is talking about a dystopian future. Like the world will end when this happens.

We single-handedly messed up so many things for Natives. Some of the laws and projects that we put into place made things much harder for the natives. in Line 10 it states that:
"After that salmon swims upstream, through the mouth of the Columbia and then past the flooded cities, broken dams, and abandoned reactors of Hanford." This line is powerful and, has a really great representation of when we should've considered how things could've affected people before it was too late. Instead of empathy, we chose ignorance. This line is an allusion because the writer assumes that we know what the Hanford reactors are, and how they affected different people.

# data[].attributes.body
the speaker is probably mad about being told to forgive because the dam ruined a lot of native life including their traditions and food so then they have to find a new main food source which is not that easy and he is probably sad because he says " until it arrives
in the shallows of a secret bay on the reservation where I wait
alone." (line 15-20).

# data[].attributes.body
" flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford."

Maybe it can infer that the narrator of the poem has sad feeling for the reactors, because it has grouped with the extra negative things.

# data[].attributes.body
The imagery that helps you infer the speakers feelings about the Hanford reactors is, "broken dams and abandond reactors of Hanford" ( Lines 10-15) You can make an infrence that he is upset about everything also saying " after that salmon swims upstream,through the mouth of the Columbia and then past the flooded cities,broken dams and abandond reactors" (Lines 10-15) that he is upset because the salmon that he talks about has to go through broken dams and abandond reactors,hinting the consiquences of the Coulee dam. So in conclusion he uses imagery to help the reader feel the consequenses of the dam.

# data[].attributes.body
the authors purpose is to let other people know that he is very upset about everything that is happening to his culture. on line 14 it says "I am told by many of you that I must forgive and so I shall
after that salmon swims upstream, through the mouth of the Columbia and then past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford." the hanford reactors are hurting everything around the land that the natives hold dear to them so that is why he wrote the poem.

# data[].attributes.body
On lines 14-16 the speaker says "Past the flooded cities, broken dams, and abandoned reactors at Hanford"

This could imply that the narrator feels the Hanford Reactors were a bad thing because it is grouped with other bad things.

In my opinion, I feel like the author thinks the Hanford Reactors are another thing that ruined his home and the environment. In lines 13-16 the text states, "I am told by many of you that I must forgive and so I shall after that salmon swims upstream, through the mouth of the Columbia and then past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford." Not only has the government ruined native land but also habitats for animals.

# data[].attributes.body
"...flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford." (lines 12 and 13) The way the author compares the Hanford reactors to flooded cities and broken dams is how he feels about it, he feels like it's broken and that once they built the Grand Coulee Dam his tribe and the river were broken.

# data[].attributes.body
In this text we can see that the speaker has a very negative experience with the Hanford reactors. You can see this on page 76 lines 12-13, ¨... past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford.¨ This shows how rundown the speaker perceives Hanford to be and how he doesn't like/ agree with the Hanford reactors.

The text helps infer the speakers feeling about the Hanford reactors by the damaging and apocalyptic feel in the imagery it gives. On lines 13-16 it reads, "past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford." This basically shows that the salmon will have to swim and go through all the toxic water and potentially die. This is heartbreaking to the speaker as he mentions and shows many times how the salmon are important to him.

When I read this text about powwow I can see that the author has a lot of feelings such as confident and sad just from hearing his voice and perspective in the story but also in his tone and voice you can hear that he is more settled with the story because he's read it so many times that the author wants us to know that the people want to forgive him

In line 14-16 it state '' Past the flooded cities, broken dams, and abandoned reactors of Hanford'' This means that the author is angry that the Hanford reactors are a bad thing for the community.

In lines 14-16 it states '' Past the flooded cities, broken dams, and abandoned reactors of Hanford'' He thinks the abandoned factors have ruined the whole environment including the dam as well he states that the dam and the reactor ruined the fishes life. Also ruined the river in that city.

In line 13-16 he says "past the flooded cities, broken dams, and abandoned reactors of Hanford". I think that he feels mad by the reactors because of what they did to the salmon, which he felt very strongly about. I think he also feels grief about seeing the reactors abandoned because he's mourning what they used to have before the reactors.

# data[].attributes.body
"Past the flooded cities, broken dams, and abandoned reactors of Hanford." The author's opinion of the reactors is that they are ruining the ecosystem and hurting the health of the Native Americans.
