SUJET n°1 Le sujet porte sur la thématique « Voyages, territoires, frontières » 1ère partie : Prenez connaissance de la thématique ci-dessus et des documents A, B et C et traitez la consigne suivante en anglais et en 500 mots environ. Taking into account the specificities of the three documents, explain how Northern Americans are connected to the land; analyse how this connection impacts the relationship between white Americans and Native Americans; and show how their past fashioned their present. 2ème partie : Traduction en français. Translate the following passage from Document A into French. “Why do they do that, Ma?” Laura asked. “Why do they go west?” “They have to,” Ma said. “Why do they have to?” “The government makes them, Laura”, said Pa. “Now go to sleep.” He played the fiddle softly for a while. Then Laura asked, “Please, Pa, can I ask just one more question?” “May I,” said Ma. Laura began again. “Pa, please, may I —” “What is it?” Pa asked. It was not polite for little girls to interrupt, but of course Pa could do it. “Will the government make these Indians go west?” (lines 7-17) 21-LLCERANPO1 Page : 2/9 Document A Prologue […] Plenty of us are urban now. If not because we live in cities, then because we live on the internet. Inside the high-rise of multiple browser windows. They used to call us sidewalk Indians. Called us citified, superficial, inauthentic, cultureless refugees, apples. An apple is red on the outside and white on the inside. But what we are is what 5 our ancestors did. How they survived. We are the memories we don't remember, which live in us, which we feel, which make us sing and dance and pray the way we do, feelings from memories that flare and bloom unexpectedly in our lives like blood through a blanket from a wound made by a bullet fired by a man shooting us in the back for our hair, for our heads, for a bounty, or just to get rid of us. […] 10 Urbanity Urban Indians were the generation born in the city. We've been moving for a long time, but the land moves with you like memory. An Urban Indian belongs to the city, and cities belong to the earth. Everything here is formed in relation to every other living and nonliving thing from the earth. All our relations.
