“America is the land of opportunities‚” is the cliche manifested in Jamaicans like me from parents‚ friends‚ and the media simultaneously. The profound amount of opportunities America has to offer attracted many people here including my family and I. I identified early on that if I wanted to be successful in life I would have to leave Jamaica in order to capitalize on the educational and future career opportunities in America.

In the chapter “What You Say About His Company Is What You Say About Society‚” Chuck Klosterman defines what he believes makes a villain. His asserted definition‚ “the villain is the person who knows the most and cares the least” (Klosterman 3)‚ rests on the idea that calculation or the “dispassionate application of intelligence” confers one the “villains cowl” (Klosterman 6).

One of the two stories I chose was “What You Pawn I Will Redeem”. In this story‚ there are various themes illustrated but I will only talk about homelessness and heritage. Sherman Alexie shows how Native Americans have been marginalized to the lowest form of everyday life in America. They exist below the poverty line‚ homeless and without the means to live comfortably. It’s an unromantic‚ un-idealistic place‚ where the friends that Jackson has abandon him‚ and as a result of this he finds comfort

We look in the mirror and what do we see? We see scars‚ we see failure‚ and we think about the past and worry that it will define our future. We find ourselves searching for a way to change. Change the way we were created to be‚ but for what? To impress the people that we think are our friends; to seek a compliment and feel popular or appreciated? Society tells us to change ourselves and act a certain way to portray us as someone else. We admire and want to be like people for all the wrong reasons

What do you think of Mythology? Myth means many things. To some people it means little more than a “lie”. To others it has no truth value‚ but refers to a type of story. To some it’s an ancient story that holds some importance in their life. It is an anonymous‚ traditional story that explains a belief‚ a custom‚ or a mysterious natural phenomenon. The term Myth originated from the Greek word ‘Mythos’ which means story. As time passed these narratives were believed by many people and considered

Critical Analysis of “What you pawn I will redeem” I really enjoyed the story “What you pawn I will redeem” by Sherman Alexie. What made it so enjoyable for me‚ was not only Jackson who is the main character but also the friends and cousins which were mentioned throughout this story. This story had great characters and a very great story line. Thanks to the main character I got to experience firsthand what it like is to be‚ not only homeless‚ but also an alcoholic. During this entire story I felt sorry for
