In Result : Death

In the beginning of the poem it shows how much Alexie read and watch cowboy moves with his father. The poem describes stereotypes that often happen in moves and books. The poem then goes on to show the mixing of whites with Indians and how mixing the races makes the stereotypes even more complex. At the very end of the poem Alexie says, “In the Great American Indian novel, when it is finally written, all of the white people will be Indians and all the Indians will be ghosts”(41-3). To me this has two meanings. One of the meanings is that in Americans history all white people will have some form of Indian in them and the Indians will have some form of white in them. The second means is all white will have so Indian in them but all the full blood Indians will be dead.
