The main idea developed in the text is that the continued disrespect that Zitkala-sa suffered weakened her spirit and caused her to conform instead of giving up, as shown in option 4.

This answer is supported by the following sentences:

  1. “Within a week I was again actively testing the chains which tightly bound my individuality like a mummy for burial.”
  2. “Though I was sullen in all my little troubles, as soon as I felt better I was ready again to smile upon the cruel woman.”

We can arrive at these answers because:

  • “School Days of an Indian Girl” is Zitkala-Sa's memoir, where she shows the abuse and disrespect she suffered when she was taken to an English boarding school for Native Americans.
  • Zitkala-Sa claims that she and the other natives were forced to abandon their customs, culture, religion, and language to adopt English customs and concepts.
  • When Zitkala-Sa refuses to abandon her culture, she is heavily punished, which causes her to conform and give in to the pressure of cultural suppression.

An example of this can be seen at the time when Zitkala-Sa was forced to cut her long hair, as it was not common in English children. Zitkala-Sa resisted this and was punished to the point of yielding.

Her haircut made her feel that her spirit was weak and that she couldn't register the disrespect she was experiencing.
