Thesis
There we were - D'Sonoqua, the cats and I - the woman who only a few moments ago had forced herself to come behind the houses in trembling fear of the 'wild wild woman of the woods' - wild in the sense that forest - creatures are wild- shy, untouchable.
Arguments
1. Emily is confused whether she wants to meet D'Sonoqua which shows that people can have different impressions on D'Sonoqua and how she is perceived ("Half of me wished I could meet her, and half of me hoped I would not" -pp34)
2. Emily describes D'Sonoqua as a feminine spirit at the end rather than what she thought of her and the beginning of the story ("She appeared to be neither wooden nor stationary, but a singing spirit, young and fresh, passing through the jungle." - pp54)
3. Emily's determination to sketch and pursue her job as an artist helped her find who and what D'Sonoqua was, over powered her fear of what she heard around the Indian villages (" 'There's nobody there' To myself I said, 'There is D'Sonoqua' " - pp41-42
4. D'Sonoqua proves to be what the seer believes they see (" The power that I felt was not in the thing itself, but in some tremendous force behind it, that the carver had believed in." - pp31)
