Answer 1

To provide an analysis of Evelyn's reaction and its significance to Rayona from chapter 7 of "Yellow Raft in Blue Water," the full context of the novel is required, which is not available in the provided text excerpts.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question refers to the reaction of Evelyn in chapter 7 of "Yellow Raft in Blue Water" and its importance to Rayona. Unfortunately, I'm unable to provide specific information on Evelyn's reaction to her discovery in chapter 7 because the provided texts do not include sufficient context or content from the novel "Yellow Raft in Blue Water". To assist with understanding the novel and character motivations, it would be essential to read the book and analyze character interactions and developments within the specified chapter.

In literature analysis, it is key to focus on character actions, reactions, and the significance of these events in the narrative structure, as well as their impact on other characters. Without the complete text, however, a thorough analysis of Evelyn's reaction and its importance to Rayona in this context cannot be achieved.

Answer 2

In Chapter 7 of "A Yellow Raft In Blue Water" by Michael Dorris, Rayona confesses the whole story of her family history to Evelyn; her mother suffering of alcoholism and leaving her at the reservation with Ida, her experience with Father Tom and her accepting the train ticket back to Seattle, but she intentionally misses the train and stays in Montana with Sky and Evelyn. Rayona expects Evelyn to be angry with her, but she is understanding and empathic instead. This is important to Rayona because she no longer has to live the lie. Rayona begins to face reality again and they both begin to search for her mother.
