The characters within Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich are very dynamic and often their personalities are
completely different from one another. They all have their own opinions of how life should be and how
people should act. For this essay, choose a character from each generation (the first generation and the
second generation) and discuss how they view June, do they revere her or hate her? Why do you think the
two people view her differently? Is it because of their generation and how they were raised (traditional
Native American v. Americanized)? Closely documents the effects by focusing on the experience of women
since this is for a women’s Contemporary Literature class. Use specific evidence from the text to support
your discussion
