Native American Literature :: Native American Literature

Native American Literature outlay this semester reading Native American Literature, really brought me to make comparisons to my past experience. I think in each chronicle, there was always something significant that seemed alike to my flavor. There were stories that had similar connections, and as I read them, I govern my mind to connect what the originator was saying and to what I remember from my life story and make a connection. Actually, I thought every story was right and well to understand. For the most part, the story that really brought my attention and that made a connected to my life was reading Indian Education by Sherman Alexie. someway as I read this story, I understood what the author was saying. The story Indian Education is a story about the author explaining his childishness in school from grade to grade until he graduated. It explains in accompaniment from his first grade till his twelfth grade. It shows how his personality changes as he grows and how thi ngs differ in perspective. Its like what we went through in our childhood. From remembering that bullyrag 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 conquer picked by the other Indian kids, and how they used to take his glasses and tossed them around. I remember once two of my ex friends chasing me and taking my glasses and stop up damaging them. I remember hating my second grade teacher because she would always punish me for talking back to her. She had this ugly face, and i scantily looked at her when she talked to me and that made her mad. As you can realize, being a child, its conscionable 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 examp le, in his ninth grade, he tells how after a basketball game, he passed out after several drinks in a dance. His friends carried him to the hospital and saved him. I remember getting drunk, in which I wasnt suppose to, but those hard shots of liquor and beer, made me fall to the backcloth a couple of times.
