that make each movie good or bad. The movie‚ Smoke Signals‚ written by Sherman Alexie‚ is not a terrible movie‚ but it isn’t one I would recommend to all my friends if they were looking for a good movie. The acting was probably the best part of the film‚ closely followed by the script. The main thing that I noticed that ruined this film for me was the use of flashbacks. It was a little excessive and it made it harder for viewers to follow along. Smoke Signals is a movie based on the book The Lone

In Sherman Alexie ’s "The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven"‚ the past is never really past. The aftershocks of 500 years of Native American persecution‚ oppression‚ and neglect continue to haunt the world of the reservation‚ in the form of alcoholism‚ poverty‚ and familial dysfunction. In spite of all this-or perhaps because of it-ancient tribal tradition/ritual lives on‚ if in a modified‚ more contemporary version. Throughout the story‚ the old ways-whether they be storytelling or vision

“The Joy of Reading and Writing: Superman and Me” by Sherman Alexie and “Learning to Read” by Malcolm X are both Essays about young men trying to learn how to read‚ and what they got from reading. Both are very exciting and interesting Essays‚ but I feel that Sherman Alexie’s Essay has a tad bit more meaning; to me at least. Yes‚ Malcolm X’s Essay was longer‚ more into detail and possible a more well written Essay‚ but the meaning wasn’t as strong to me. Alexie took his knowledge and used it in a

He got this urge to read from his father‚ someone that went out of his way to buy any novel‚ magazine‚ or book that he could get his grip on. Reading material was stacked throughout the house‚ Alexie would read

What You Pawn I Will Redeem I found Sherman Alexie’s “What You Pawn I Will Redeem” particularly interesting in terms of style and voice. The narrator seems very nonchalant about all of the events that occur in the story. The main premise is that the narrator‚ Jackson‚ a homeless Native American‚ finds his grandmother’s regalia in a pawnshop and aims to buy it back from the owner. He can buy the regalia back for a thousand dollars‚ so he sets off to try and make the money. The interesting thing
