Thomas Builds-the-Fire Questions

*Why was Thomas put in jail (other than the conviction of murder from 1858)?
*What is the purpose of this story? Use textual evidence to support your answer.
*Re-Read the last full paragraph of the story.  Interpret it and use it to answer this question: How does this story show the ideas of culture and Cultural Encounters and Frontiers? (you can also give more details than just from the last paragraph)
*Go back into the Non Fiction packet:
***Pick three pieces of textual evidence from the packet (a word, phrase, sentence or a few sentences) and react to it while connecting it to the short story. While connecting, explain how the textual evidence gives you a deeper understanding of something from the story, and be specific as to what it is

***How does this information (graphs and data) overall enhance your understandings of “The Trial of Thomas Builds-the-Fire”?
