1. What is the meaning of the advice the son gives his father in “The Shawl”?
The advice the son gives his father in "The Shawl" holds a deeper meaning than just a practical suggestion. The son urges his father to burn his sister's shawl, stating, "Send it off to cloak her spirit" (Erdrich). This advice goes beyond simply letting go of a material possession. It represents the son's understanding that his father needs to release his grief and guilt over their sister's sacrifice. By burning the shawl, a symbol of his sister, the father can begin to move forward and potentially find peace.
2. How does this advice heal the intergenerational trauma experienced by the characters?
The son's advice to burn the shawl can be a first step towards healing the intergenerational trauma in "The Shawl" for two reasons:
Breaking the Cycle of Silence: By urging his father to talk about their sister's death and the shawl's significance, the son initiates open communication. This breaks the cycle of silence that often perpetuates trauma within families. The story portrays the emotional distance between the father and son, likely caused by unspoken grief. Talking about the shawl forces them to confront the trauma together. The text hints at this unspoken pain when the narrator describes his father: "The father had stopped his ears, so he did not hear his son cry out when he suddenly
Roque Felipe 2
understood that he would be left behind” (Erdrich). This emotional detachment might be a result of the trauma they both carry.
Letting Go of the Past: Burning the shawl, a physical embodiment of their loss, symbolizes the father's willingness to let go of the past and the intense grief he carries. Holding onto the shawl keeps the memory of the sister fresh and hinders their ability to move forward. Releasing the shawl allows them to acknowledge the loss while starting to heal. The son even argues, "Don't you think she lifted her shawl and flew?” (Erdrich), suggesting a more practical reason, but it also implies a deeper message. Letting go of the physical object, the shawl, might be the first step towards letting go of the emotional burden it carries.
3. How is the story both true about the specific people in the story and about the Native American experience?
Erdrich's "The Shawl" balances personal tragedy with broader themes. The shawl personalizes the story of a grieving family-describing them as “people who lived widely scattered, along the shores and in the islands, even out on the plains” (Erdrich)-while their poverty and unspoken pain echo the hardships of Native Americans. The father's unresolved grief
reflects generational trauma, a common theme, and the story's very form – a passed-down tale – highlights the importance of storytelling in Native American culture.

Samuel Finley has two children, a daughter Lee and a son Keaton. Samuel has a lovely beach house in Palm Beach. Sam is terminally ill and has been told by his doctors that he has less than a year to live. Lee knows that Keaton is their father’s favourite child and that he had been named in the latter’s will to inherit the beach house.
Lee knew that since their father did not have long to live and that he was 90 years old and starting to become mentally-weak, she could pressure him to transfer the Palm Beach beach house over to her even though Samuel may not totally understand what he was signing over. So, for four months, using pressure and threats, but more often with gentle but devious tactics, Lee succeeds in convincing Samuel to sign a transfer of property transferring the Palm Beach beach house over to her.
