I only have one thing on my mind.
What is the importance of the ownl in my movie thunderheart.
2. What is the meaning of the dog in this movie and Native American Cultural

Pondering

I have watch Thunderheart times and I am still pondering on what character William Dawes said. He said “Helping people caught in the illusion in the past come to terms with the realities of the present.” This statement both me, I wonder way can’t these people have the past. It is like William was saying that these people can’t hold on to there culture and tradition. For me it is the same concept as the Amish people and know one tries to make them come to turns with the present.

Thunder Heart

Last night I want my more Thunder Heart. I really enjoyed my movie. It was ironic that the FBI sent a guy who look more European and Irish than he looked Native American to go to the Reservation to bleed into his cultural. The only problem was they sent a guy who had no connections to his cultural or even remembered his dad, who is the reason he is Native America. I enjoyed the fact at the end of the movie he became more in tuned with his heritage.
I didn't like how the government was trying to push the fact that they were drilling. I hated the fact that they government was killing off the people who where trying to get the truth out.

Essay Topics3

Well I really don’t know what I want to write about, but the whole time I have reading Alexie works I have wonder why done of the character has know stereotypical Indian names. So I might write about the names in the movie Smoke Signals.

I also like the Alexie interview. I thought about compare what Alexie said and how it is not so far fetch from being black in American.

I could also write about the relationship between Thomas and Victor and Victor’s dad.

The Alexie Interview

Alexie interview touch my heart and I could relate to the thing he was talking about. One of statements that caught my attention was when Alexie said, “the United States and South Africa only difference is about 50 years.” Alexie is so right; I have said that for years. People act like it is so weird that South African has not to long ago gotten out of apartheid. Or that black South African is still in more poverty that white south Africans.

Finding out that Alexie has trouble with grammatical errors makes me feel comforted about my grammatical issue. Most of the times I feel like good writer write great the first time and they just revise their ideals on the second draft. But, Alexie proved to me that even the great book sellers have trouble with their own grammatical issues.

This is so late

I can easily tell that Smoke Signals is based off this story. For that reason it makes me wonder why does Alexie chose to give Thomas a Indian accent in the movie, but not in the story? Why does Thomas and Victor get along so much better in the book? Why does the movie show how much hate victor have for his father but yet in the story victor is content with his father almost like he still loves him.

Lets play "Nazis and Jews"

“That the ideas will make sense when, and not before, Euroamerica find it as ‘harmless’ for a its children to ‘Nazis and Jews’ as it always has “Cowboy and Indians”

This sentence caught my attention. The sentence made me wonder way is it okay that the children play ‘cowboy and Indian’ and not for them to play ‘Nazis and Jews’. At first I was like it is just ‘cowboy and Indian’. Then I began to think that playing ‘cowboy and Indian’ is almost the same concept as playing ‘Nazis and Jews’ the only difference is that our society has aloud the genocide of Native Americans to be okay but yet feel as if the genocide of Jews is more horrific. Don’t get me wrong what happen to the Jews was awful, but it is just as awful how Native Americans were killed off so silently by diseases. Another reason society feels for the Jews and not the Indians is because in some people they still see Native Americans as savages and not as people. Reason 3 is because the Holocaust has happen in some American life time and they got to experience the war tares of fighting the Germens were as most Americans don’t remember or got to experience the genocide of the Native Americans.
