Read the following stories.

Hansel and Gretel

Hansel and Gretel's mother had passed away a year ago, and their father had remarried a wicked woman. There was something evil about their stepmother, and the kids knew she wanted their father all to herself. She hated Hansel and Gretel and was always very cruel to them. One day, Hansel and Gretel's evil stepmother had them doing chores around the house. She refused to feed them, and they grew very hungry. Hansel stole a piece of bread from the kitchen when their stepmother wasn't looking. When he returned with it, Gretel suggested that they run away through the woods to eat it. Hansel didn't want to get lost in the woods, so he decided to mark their trail with small black and white stones that he had stolen from his father's box of checkers. As they ran deeper into the woods, Hansel dropped checkers here and there to mark the way home.

Suddenly, they came upon a house that was entirely made of candy. Having only eaten a tiny bit of bread, Hansel and Gretel were starving. They began picking off gumdrops and stuffing their faces with the candy from the outside of the house. Then, a lovely, old lady emerged from the house. She invited them in and offered them even more candy and cake. At first, Hansel and Gretel were ecstatic for the treats, but they soon became uncomfortable around the woman. She explained that she had never had children of her own, so she built a house of candy hoping one day some children would come along so she could keep them. She was very lonely. Hansel and Gretel did not want to be kept like pets, and they wanted to go home to their father. They rushed out of the house and ran as fast as they could. They followed their checkers home until they ran into the loving embrace of their father, who had been up worrying about them. He cursed his wife for being so cruel to his children, and Hansel and Gretel promised that they would never run away again.

Johnnie and Grizzle

Johnnie and Grizzle were the children of a very poor woodcutter and his wife. Their father warned their mother that he feared they would soon have to get rid of the children. Otherwise, he thought they would all starve. Their mother begged and pleaded with their father. She couldn't bear to lose her children, but their father could see no other way for them to survive. They were too poor to buy food for everyone. He planned to lead the children out into the woods in the hopes that they might find food and learn to survive on their own. Johnnie and Grizzle heard about their father's plan. They collected all of their trinkets and toys to sell them to help earn money. They packed up a large bag, but their father interrupted their packing. He said that they were going to go out on a family walk through the woods.

Johnnie was scared that their father would abandon them out in the woods. However, Grizzle assured Johnnie that she had a plan. As they walked, she dropped trinkets and little toys along the way to mark a path. Eventually, their father left them and ran back through the woods towards their house. They were alone and figured that they should let their father get a head start. They didn't want to get caught following him back home. As they waited, they looked around them. That's when Johnnie spotted something remarkable. He found a house entirely made of gingerbread and candy. Still starving, Johnnie and Grizzle began to chomp away at the candy decorations. They even chewed their way through the gingerbread walls. They had never seen such delicacies in all their life! Suddenly, a cruel-looking old woman came rushing out of the candy house. She was furious that the children had begun to eat her home. She threatened the children as she cursed at them. Johnnie and Grizzle ran terrified back through the woods, following their trail of trinkets home. Their mother greeted them with open arms. Their father cried and begged for his children's forgiveness. He promised that he would be a better father and find a way to take care of them so that they should never have to leave the home or fear going hungry.

Pocahontas was a daughter of a Native American chief who lived in Virginia. The story has been told that John Smith had made friends with the chief's twelve-year-old daughter Pocahontas. Later John Smith was captured by Native Americans. Just as he was to be killed by a stone war club in the hand of the chief, Pocahontas ran to him, placed her head on his, and begged her father not to kill him.


Later when a war broke out between Native Americans and the white settlers, Pocahontas was captured. She was put on an English ship. During that time she fell in love with John Rolfe, who was also on the ship. John was an early English settler of Jamestown, Virginia. They were married two years later. She became a Christian and was baptized with the English name, Rebecca. In 1616 she went to London with her husband. She was received as a Native American princess.

LITERARY ANALYSIS: Where are you from? seems like a question with an obvious answer, but the answer is clearly more complicated according to the essay's author, Naomi Sepiso. How does Sepiso respond to this question? What supporting evidence does she include to develop her controlling idea? Write a RACECECE response in which you are using 3 pieces of evidence from the essay to support your analysis.


story: ‘So where are you from?’ They always asked that question; a subtle reminder that she was not one of them.


‘What do you mean?’ she asked. They only asked that question when they were afraid of placing her into a box. As though they were giving her the option of which box she wanted to climb into.


‘Well… you’re obviously not from here… I mean… you live here, but where are you from… like, originally?’


There it was. Originally. The word suggesting that she cannot validate her sense of belonging to this place. The implication being that her ‘exotic’ genetic makeup excludes her from her right to belong to this land.


She gave the long pre-rehearsed answer they often dug for. They love a good story. She told them where her mother came from, where her father came from. She told them how her parents met in a land far from their own where she was born. She told them of how they moved around from town to town and across the ocean to a place that sometimes felt like ‘home’. They smiled. Happy endings always leave a crowd feeling good.


What she doesn’t tell them is how she feels her pre-rehearsed response drag up her throat, as though she didn’t pick the right words from those that whirl at the bottom of her stomach in response. She doesn’t tell them that being born out of her mother’s country makes her a foreigner to a land she could have called home. Or that her official documents are marked with the Coat of Arms of a land she never felt safe in. That she cannot have conversations with the grandparents she has not seen in years because her tongue will always stumble over the nuances of languages that never fit quite right.


Sometimes she felt tired of being watered down to belonging to a foreign location on a map. To being a friend that made someone else a little more ‘cultured’ by simple association. As though everything else she had to offer became lacking in value every time someone asked her the question.


She was not someone from a place. She made a home of kind words and warm feelings. Her soul became a safe nest deep inside the confines of her body.


‘What is the value of a land I come from. We are all of this land. We came the same way and we leave the same way.’ By the time the words fought their way out of her mouth everyone else had moved on.


One day they would come to understand, she thought. She was not the land of her mother and father. She was her own country, with her own history of civil wars, revolutions, healing and growth. One day they would learn to keep their boxes away from her. One day they would see that she will never, ever, fit.

And made dust and dropped stove-length sticks of wood,
