indian horse In Chapter 11, Saul arrives at St. Jerome’s Residential School. Describe the school itself,

It’s a miserable, cruel place. The school feels sterile and cold. Saul is forced to cut his hair and change into western clothes; students without “Christian” names like Saul’s have their names changed as well. At the school, they aren’t allowed to speak Ojibway, and are subject to thousands of petty rules designed to force them into “order.” Those who disobey are beaten and humiliated, and many die while Saul is at St. Germ's, his name for the school.
