Part 1 At the time that Americans began to move westward and settle on the Great Plains, Native American tribes still controlled and lived upon vast amounts of land there and beyond. What impact did American settlers and the American government (including military) have on the natives of the Great Plains as they settled what was once Native American territory? In your opinion, does the outcome justify the displacement of these native peoples? Why or why not?

For this week's activity, begin by opening and reviewing the resource entitled “Guidelines for Reading and Understanding Literature,” linked in Week 1. Once you’ve read through the resource, choose any one of the six major literary elements to discuss (choose from plot, character, setting, point-of-view, images and symbols, or style and language), then answer at least four of the bullet-points under your chosen element. (For example, if you choose "Character," you'd go down to #2, Character, and here you'd answer any four of the six bullet points underneath that element). Your answers should apply to this week's literary work, Gilgamesh.
Your completed response should be at least 300 words in length and fully address all content requirements. Research is not called for in this activity, but if outside sources are used, they must be documented correctly in MLA format (quotations, in-text citations, and Works Cited entries).
