The term paper MUST include quotes and ideas from the books “The Dream of the Earth’’ by Thomas Berry, “Waterlily” by Ella Cara Deloria, “Wisdom Sits in Places” by Keith H. Basso, and two articles from the book “Native Voices” by David Wilkins Since there is no way for me to send you the required books I have attempted to find pdf copies of the books online or some websites that give chapter summaries and explore themes and other stylistic devices in the novel.
