This project is about Cynthia Ann Parker's life in the story WHERE THE Broken Heart STILL BEATS by Carolyn Meyer. It describes her early life, what happened after Comanches kidnapped her at the age of 9 years old, what were her feelings and thoughts as Comanche woman as living with her family of origin,The White people. At the end, I will provide a reflection about what life would have been the right one for her.
Now, her childhood changed drastically, she became a slave of The Indians, she was hit by them, and little by little she just turned into one of them, she learned their ways to to survive.
She used to live with her parents, siblings and the great-grandfather, Elder Parker who built a Fort by The Navasota River in order to protect his family from The attack of Indians. However, after two years they had lived over there, The Comanches raided The Parker's Fort, killed Cynthia's people, and took her and other people as captives.
She went to Austin for a meeting of Legistature. She becameimportant for being the most famous of The capative woman.
Grandfather
believed she was going to learn fast The White people manners and forget Commanche ways.
Over the time, Lucy's mom does not get along well with Cynthia and her daughter. Martha does not want her in the house, she poisoned Anna against Cynthia, she seemed jealous. Finally she was moved to her brother' s house Silas, but her wife was not nice with her, she hit her daughter for talking in Indian language. She left Silas's house and started to live with her sister, Orleana, Unfortunaltely Prairie Flower died and later Cynthia at the age of 37 years old.
She started to live with Lucy, Ben, Martha and Lucy's parents. Lucy was in charged of teaching her English and other White people ways.
She learned English and their ways because The grandfather promised her to see her People, but not, a war was developing and it was the perfect excuse.
-As a comanche woman, she just thought about being a strong and good wife, good mother, raised her children, survive as a Comanche knew to do it.
-When living with The white people, her thoughts were related to escape from them, come back to her People. She jus was learning English with the hope to see her husband and children. She was never interested in learning their ways, she though white women were lazy, not strong enough, not good enough wives for their husbands. She found The Whites' Lifesytle as a prison life.
-Once her daughter died, her thoughts just turned around rituals, cut her body for losing her baby, she was lost in sadness, depression and The White family never could understand what she really wanted.
