Question 11:

The following is a quote from this week's reading from Like a Hurricane:

"Patient fury," she called it...in an opinion piece she wrote for the Washington Post. No friend of AIM or of lawbreaking, Kilberg nonetheless asked readers to consider the source of the rage. She told stories of some of the people she had met in her hours inside.... She spoke of Josetts Wahwassuck, a seventy-four-year-old Prairie Band Potawatamie, who lived in a house without running water...and whose son was beaten when he led a group to the local BIA office seeking information on money legally theirs but held "in trust" by the Bureau.... Despite Kilberg's hope that the reasons Indian people came to Washington was what the public and government officials would remember, the definitive images from the occupation were those of broken toilets, raving graffiti, smashed furniture, and hallways littered with paper" (p. 167).

Referring back to at least one instance from earlier in the book Like a Hurricane, as well as to Chapter Eight of Lakota Woman, analyze the above quotation and "consider the rage."
