Tonto perfectly portrays the typical Hollywood Indian. In Sherman Alexie’s novel Reservation Blues, the Indians in no way portray the stereotypical Indian. Alexie acknowledges and elucidates this major misconception. He shows the hardships of an Indian band, Coyote Springs, struggling to make a living in the music industry, along with all

LeAnne Howe made this book to tell the story of American Indians who fought for their freedom and land from the white men. She featured moments of her life in an effort to include an insight to show that all American Indians, even now, are affected by the allotment of the American Indians. LeAnne Howe even dedicated Miko Kings to “all the American Indians who’ve played the game.” Baseball was a sport that the Indians had been playing for years as a way to pass time and connect the tribes (48) (LeAnne

Sherman Alexie is an author that writes about Indians, not only in this story but in his other stories and books. It may seem that having only one type of major character limits the ability to have a broad range of story lines. In “What you Pawn I will Redeem” Alexie is able to show that having one type of character does not limit the use of the other elements of fiction.

This group is known to the Australian Secret Service as way to smuggle immigrants

In Dubious Battle is a book that is very similar to The Jungle. They sort of follow right after each other time zone wise, like the first and second part of a movie. You see many of the struggles that both the main character have went through and instantly notice their traumas. The start of the 1900s was a very rough time for anyone who wasn’t in riches. Jurgis and Jim weren’t amongst those people.Throughout this essay both lifestyles will be compared to one another. In Dubious battle is a book

Up is a lot more than an adventure story; it’s also an action, comedy and a story about friendship. When Carl and Russell being chased by the angry dog pack, we can see the action. Friendship is shown in many instances but particularly when Carl gives Russell the grape soda badge, that Ellie have Carl. The comedy of Up is especially obvious in the scene where Carl fights his childhood hero, Charles Muntz. Up is so much more than an adventure story. Scenes such as; Carl and Russell being chased at

Sherman Alexie may write boring and uninteresting characters, but the dreams in Reservation Blues are stellar. The dreams help the reader understand and connect what he is trying to write. With all the sentences in his book that say some version of “the horses screamed” and all the dreams about the cavalrymen killing horses and Indians, it is not hard to make the connections Alexie is trying to make. The horses are the Indians, and they are being killed by the white man. This also goes hand in hand
