Two sides to each story?
In Power, Omishto feels she is on both sides of the story feeling horrible. Knowing what Ama did to the panther was wrong but also, considering it was right. After this incident going to trial, Omishto feels changed as Ama feels changed. Having protesters at trial, they feel it is wrong to "kill land, animals, and to destroy any of it." Omishto feels they "do not see themselves or know their own history." On the other side, the native protesters speak for Ama and want to make an argument for "our rights." Omishto once again claims, "both sides are wrong, but both sides, also, are right." At the end of the chapter, the people at trial believe "there is not enough evidence beyond a doubt." Omishto feels Ama was wrong, but "she too is creature, animal." Omishto feels they went against their wills, but Omishto goes on to say " who am I to judge, me being such a part of this other world, both these other worlds." At the end of the chapter, it is also mentioned that story is all the people want, as if their is a part they have to have or need.
