Ariel LawhonA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more.
None of Lawhon’s central characters is Indigenous, yet Indigenous communities suffer the effects of colonization and violent oppression on the novel’s periphery. Conduct your own research on Wabanaki history, beliefs, and customs, and analyze how these findings align with the values Lawhon’s protagonist holds in The Frozen River.
In the Author’s Note, Lawhon admits to tweaking the historical narrative significantly for the purposes of her story; several central plot points, such as Burgess’s murder, are entirely fabricated. Discuss historical license and the ethics of writing historical fiction? Cite specific examples from the text to support your argument.
