HW: N. Scott Momaday's Poem 'Sun Dance Shield'

Nature shields us from the world.

There are 5 stanzas. The first 4 each containing 3 lines; the first line starting with "Mine is a" and the second and third lines starting with "there is".

Throughout the poem Momaday personifies this shield. He uses emotions to showcase emotion, nature, mind, and memory.

Through this poem he intertwines nature and the shield. This story tells how his shield is a part of him, how it embodies his emotions and nature.

He ends by saying that his life "is in this shield".
