Native American Literature :: Native American Literature

Native American LiteratureSpending this semester scaning Native American Literature, really brought me to install comparisons to my past drive. I think in each story, there was eternally something significant that seemed similar to my life. There were stories that had similar connections, and as I read them, I put my mind to connect what the author was saying and to what I remember from my life and make a connection. Actually, I thought both story was goodness and well to understand. For the most part, the story that really brought my oversight and that make a connected to my life was reading Indian rearing by Sherman Alexie. Somehow as I read this story, I soundless what the author was saying. The story Indian Education is a story or so the author explaining his childhood in school from grade to grade until he graduated. It explains in detail from his commencement exercise grade till his twelfth grade. It shows how his reputation changes as he grows and how things differ in perspective. Its like what we went through and through in our childhood. From remembering that bully in first grade till having your first date in eight grade. I really thought of my experience and made a few comparisons. I believe I went through the same things the author did. For instance, in his first grade the author writes how he used to get picked by the other Indian kids, and how they used to lodge in his glasses and tossed them around. I remember once two of my ex friends chasing me and pickings my glasses and ended up damaging them. I remember hating my piece grade teacher because she would always punish me for talking back to her. She had this terrible face, and i hardly looked at her when she talked to me and that made her mad. As you can realize, be a child, its just fights and games. Not caring about anything, until the consequences come. Sherman Alexie does a good job how his life changed from his childhood, and maturing in his years to come. For example, in hi s ninth grade, he tells how after a basketball game, he passed out after some(prenominal) drinks in a dance. His friends carried him to the hospital and saved him. I remember get drunk, in which I wasnt suppose to, but those hard shots of liquor and beer, made me fall to the ground a couple of times.
