Read the excerpt from "Last Rites of the Indian Dead."

Harjo's style affects her message when she uses sarcasm to emphasize her outrage and graphic language to demonstrate the violence, as in options C and D.

What is Harjo's style in the excerpt?

In the excerpt by Native American author Suzan Harjo, we notice the use of sarcasm and graphic language, both with the purpose of drawing attention to the unfairness of the treatment inflicted upon Native Americans.

Harjo uses sarcasm when she calls the doctor good. After all, there is nothing good about a doctor who kills people and then pretends to have done it for scientific purposes.

The author also uses graphic language, that is, language that is used to describe something unpleasant. Words such as "beheaded" and "decapitation" convey the violence inflicted on American Indians.

With the information above in mind, we can select options C and D as the correct answers.
