In this story Alexie gives a very discriptive view of life on the "rez". This story like the poem from him we read shows only the negative aspects of life on the reservation. He shows how things like poverty, and alcoholism cause daily struggles for the people there. His writings of these things did not suprise me much, because we have talked about most of these things in class. Alexie has been one of my faviorte autors to read in this class, because I think that when he writes about the Indian culture and way of life it is more real to me because he himself is an Indain.
It is easier for me to relate to Alexie as well because of his credibility that we have come to learn through his writings.
ReplyDeleteI think that Alexie is awesome also. He writes so that you can understand and get the accuracy of Indians.
