The story "Flight Patterns" by Sherman Alexie begins as the main character‚ William‚ wakes up to the sound of his alarm and prepares for his day of travels. It is in the first few paragraphs of this short story that I initially question why this literary work is entitled "Flight Patterns". As I turned the page‚ my question is later answered. Although‚ it was not answered before reading seemingly pointless information about Williams life‚ such as: his taste in music‚ his weekly exercise regimen‚ he

Every day‚ thousands of planes take to the skies‚ transporting people all over the world. In the process though‚ these huge planes use massive amounts of fuel and greatly add to global warming and pollution. Discouraging non-essential flights is a good idea‚ but not at the expense of limiting the use of cars. Surely we can cut back on both. Travelling by plans has truly made our world feel a lot smaller‚ but not all travel is necessary. For example‚ already‚ technology and the Internet in

In the novel Flight by Sherman Alexie‚ the narrator Zits says‚ “Yes‚ I am Irish and Indian‚ which would be the coolest blend in the world if my parents were around to teach me how to be Irish and Indian. But they’re not here and haven’t been for years‚ so I’m not really Irish and Indian. I’m a blank sky‚ a human solar eclipse” (Alexie 5). In my opinion this quote could mean‚ since his parents died or left there is no one to help him learn his background or his culture. He is a sky without clouds
