Read the passage.
"During this time I seemed to hang in the heart of chaos, beyond the touch or voice of human aid. My brother, being almost ten years
my senior, did not quite understand my feelings. My mother had never gone inside of a schoolhouse, and so she was not capable of
comforting her daughter who could read and write. Even nature seemed to have no place for me. I was neither a wee girl nor a tall
one; neither a wild Indian nor a tame one."
