Summary Of The Lone Ranger And Tonto Fistfight In Heaven

Similarly, the text “The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven” by Sherman Alexie relates to the narrator’s effect on the way the narrator sees himself compared to the way people actually perceive the character. The main character within this story reflects himself as a worthless colored guy trying to make a change for himself but in reality the society he lives him fails to let him do so. Here is an evident statement a police officer told him directly “You don’t fit the profile of the neighborhood” (35). In many ways, race is defined by what we see. But the narrator in this story has a unique job. He works in a school answering telephones. There is a possible effect on removing the visual access on the way we receive race. If this narrator
revealed his race of not people a part of the vast popularity population in his society which is predominantly Caucasian. This will help remove the bitter comments of categorizing people how we would in public.
