In the excerpt from her memoir By Any Other Name, Anglo Indian writer Santha Rama Rau describes a memory of her education, "Accordingly, I followed the thin, erect back of the headmistress down the veranda to my classroom feeling, at most, a passing interest in what was going to happen to me in this strange, new atmosphere of School." Compare the language of Rau's memory with that of Native American writer Kimberly M. Blaser. Discuss how both authors share the past and make it part of their present and future.
