During this essay process, I actually learned a lot about the Native Americans that I have never known before. I had no clue that the Natives had such a past in California and I think that it is a sad thing to keep such a history from the population just to accommodate a dream. As I read poems of descendants of such people who experienced such calamity, I realized that even today these people are not treated fairly about the ancestors. For that reason, recognition of these occurrences and trying to clear up the biased way history is will be the best choice in obtaining a bright future of no reoccurring mistakes.
As a reader, I should start thinking about what is not told in the text and start reading between the lines. There is so much that I may have missed when not looking into the text and just blatantly reading. Also, I have learned that as a writer, especially in essays, I tend to put too many points in one paragraph which may cause confusion for the reader. Thus, to make sure the reader is not confused, I should make my points clear and concise. Overall, I believe I am getting better as a writer, but I do have a long way to go.
