'No, I will not submit. I will struggle first!' How does Zitkala - Sa's resistance reflect her inner strength and identity? (Memories of Childhood)

young and in a strange environment, yet chooses to resist/ hides under a bed to escape the authorities

firm about retaining cultural identity/ refuses to conform despite knowing she is outnumbered

even when dragged out - kicked and scratched/ had to be forced into submission

gives in/ loses her spirit at that time, but triumphs in her life/ becomes a renowned author writing against discrimination/ a voice for many native American children who suffered similar injustices
