This is an allusion because many people, especially from out of Washington, may not know where or what it is, or how it impacted the Native Americans of that area. The author uses this allusion in lines 1-4: "I am told by many of you that I must forgive and so I shall when the Indian woman puts her shoulder to the Grand Coulee Dam and topples it."]]> 2022-09-28 14:56:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2317676162 https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2317681406 The speaker uses allusions throughout the poem, assuming that the reader knows about the effects of the Grand Coulee Dam and the Hanford reactors. For example, the text says on lines 10-16, "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." This allusion is about the toxic waste from Hanford affecting the salmon in the Columbia river, which the speaker assumes the reader already knows about.

"Then past the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford." If you don't know, the Hanford reactors is this place where during WII the government made plutonium here for atomic bombs.

This is an allusion because some people don't know what a powwow is and that he says "at the end of the world" because he knows that the people won't the Grand Coulee Dam down because it is the biggest source of hydroelectricity in the U.S. So it is like his when pigs fly mindset to being told to forgive.]]> 2022-09-28 15:18:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2317717422 https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2317773856 2022-09-28 15:48:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2317773856 https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2317791697 An allusion that is used is hanford. ¨the flooded cities, broken dams and abandoned

An Allusion the Author uses is on page 76, lines 14  "..after that salmon swims through the mouth of the Spokane River..". Lines 14 is an Allusion because it is assuming the reader knows where the mouth of the Spokane River is or where the spokane river even is located. This is important to the Author Because he is apart of the Spokane Tribe.]]> 2022-09-28 16:03:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2317804125 https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2317910947 The last sentence in the poem the author says, "When, I am dancing with my tribe during the powwow at the end of the world.". This is an allusion because the author is using the word powwow like you already know what it means and most people don't, I didn't even know what it meant at first. The author utilizing these allusions brings life to this poem and gives it the push it needed to be powerful and persuasive.  ]]> 2022-09-28 17:00:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2317910947 https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2317924267 The poet uses several allusions throughout his writing to explain how he's feeling. We're luckily empowered to understand these allusions. For example, in lines 25-27 it reads, "I am told by many of you that I must forgive and so I shall when I am dancing with my tribe during the Pownderstand wha the End of the World." In class we'd learned much about the Powwow at the End of the World which, before this, many whom are to read this may not understand what this means.]]> 2022-09-28 17:07:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2317924267 https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2317990611 Most of the allusions are about their salmon. One of the allusions is on line 18-19 it says " that salmon leaps into the night air above the water, throws a lightning bolt at the brush near my feet". This allusion is after the salmon swims upstream. I feel this is showing that if they destroy the dam the indian culture would return just like the salmon. ]]> 2022-09-28 17:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2317990611 i_smuggled_kona_ice https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2318091199 the author hinted at his feelings and tried to tell as many people as he could that he did ඞ.]]> 2022-09-28 18:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2318091199 https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2318245994       What allusion the author Uses throughout the poem is the salmon in my opinion because On lines 19-20 it says,"The salmon 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." I feel like it has a deeper meaning that the author wants us to understand he uses the salmon as allusions all throughout the poem because they had a great impact on their migration and spawning when the dam was built it affected them from their environment.(This information can be found on The Powwow at the End of the World  located in the close reader digital/Physical textbook.)]]> 2022-09-28 20:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2318245994 duke3412d https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2318247661 i would say that the speaker is possibly sad, lonely, and angry about the hanford reactor because of the flooded cities, broken dams, and the Hanford reactors because he might think that it is an apocalypse for the fish and him (lines 10-15).
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.]]> 2022-09-28 20:44:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2318247661 https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2318251224 The author uses allusion at the end of the poem saying, "Powwow at the end of the world" which everyone might not know what a powwow is.]]> 2022-09-28 20:48:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2318251224 https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2318390927 An allusion that the poet uses is on lines 24-25 where he says, "I am dancing with my tribe during the powwow at the end of the world." He assumes we know about his culture and what a powwow is. Most people don't which makes it an allusion. The allusion makes the poem stronger as it shows how much their culture means to the writer.]]> 2022-09-28 23:58:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2318390927 https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2318419294 The poet uses many Allusions but one of them is on lines 2 and 3 were it says, " after an Indian woman puts her shoulder to the Grand Coulee dam." because you can see it, hear it, smell it taste it and touch it. 

we can understand the illusions from american Indian culture more because, we know their nature and how they live. On lines 26 and 27 it says," I shall when I am dancing with my tribe during the powwow at the end of the world." 

Footnotes are usually on the bottom of our book or on the side. Footnotes provide us with background knowledge because it might be relevant with the text on the page or it might be some random facts that don't belong with your story. This can be an Allusion depending on if it states facts or if is a cliff hanger sort of thing, but I would say no because it's a background that describes stuff, and the 5 senses are most likely going to be used. ]]> 2022-09-29 00:23:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2318419294 https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2318726658 The allusions that the poet has given throughout the poem would be in places where they would describe how they feel and try to make it as visual as possible but more in their perspective. A big example would be where it states, "After that salmon leaps into the night air above the water, throws a lighting bolt at the brush near my feet, and starts the fire which will lead all of the lost indians home" and, "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 author connects to the things he's saying because this is his culture and how he might have grown up.   ]]> 2022-09-29 14:29:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2319512348 https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2319716054 One allusion the author uses is on lines 17 - 20 when he says: "I am told by many of you that i must forgive and so i shall after that salmon 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." Which means that he will forgive when the Salmon return and Native American traditions return.

Those stories are likely to indicate that while they may have physically lost quite a bit of their past/history, they can, and will continue to remember their past/history through the telling of stories, celebrations, and traditions. On lines 26-27 it says, "...when I am dancing with my tribe during the powwow at the end of the world..." This suggests that he is either considering the end of the world as when his culture/history/traditions finally die out and are forgotten, or that he hopes that his culture/history/traditions will be able to survive until the end of human existence (And only then will he be able to forgive).]]> 2022-09-30 17:07:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2321379506 https://padlet.com/kristengr/rbx4ubc44qcmhk0a/wish/2321426418 The author shows an example of allusion in lines 14-19 "broken dams and abandoned reactors of Hanford.

The author mentions "lost Indians" because the tribes that were affected may feel lost without the salmon and the river. "...and starts the fire which will lead all of the lost Indians home."
