Being A Doubting Thomas Analysis

“Maybe sometimes people did not actually change. Maybe you just never knew who they really were.” (Picture Quotes.com) This quote is very relatable to many people, but perhaps more so to Thomas, Bears Brother, Black Bull because Thomas lived through the impossible, and he changed, but no one knew, truly, who he was.

In each component of the book Thomas changes in various, complicated ways, but the two sections where Thomas changes the most are in “Bessie” and “The Arena.” However certain similarities for each characteristic of Tom are unmistakable. Tom is a man torn between two worlds, his Indian heritage and the world of white men and new ways.

The article “Hidden from Reality,” written by Bob Herbert, talks about how the “American Dream” is gone, but society is still going on believing in it. As a response to Herbert’s article, Cal Thomas writes an article called “Is the American Dream Over?” Thomas agrees and disagrees with the views of Herbert. One interpretation Thomas agreed with, from Herbert’s article, was that the American society is becoming a “hapless, can’t-do society.” Herbert’s idea to resurrect the American dream is for the government to spend more money on public schools and bettering jobs for the working citizens of America. Thomas believes that, to bring back the American Dream, the government should cut taxes, spending, and government regulations; allowing the people to freely live the American dream.
