flight-sherman alexie




significance
its not an important book, its fictional story in current events and in my view its not trying to say any message besides don't charge into a bank and start shooting people. there are aloft of events that happen in it because the person travels through different body's and sees certain events that revolve around his point of view (being Indian).and the book isn't relivent really to anyone besides; Indians , suicide bombers, drunks, detectives from the 1930's the 1800's cavalry, police officers.

perspective
this book was created by Sherman Alexei an Indian author. it takes view from Indian culture modern and the one's with the horses and the tomahawks from 1800. it was written i n 2007 and takes place in modern times. the author takes perspective on both sides in the flash backs he(the main character) has

evidence

i don't think the author trying to make a argument its just a story theres no real point of view i walked away with besides don't shoot up banks. also i guess he trying to show the cruelty of the world. and its just a good book so i would read it . books don't need to have a point or an argument. neither dose a story and there doesn't have to be an argument about every thing.it s not like theres a real point like theres something you "take away" from the situation.


connection

the only connection or reference to history is when he will jump into a body thats like from the 1800's calvary or and old Indian. seeing the good and bad thing that both sides did. and things that relate to his point of view. in the book he doesn't do any thing that effects the events that are still happening theres some reference to it. the book doesn't apply to my life in any way i can currently think of . this book will effect what i read in the future, by seeing that i like his type of writing and ill probably read more of his work in the future.

supposition

if i were in the situation that the character in this book was in i would totally freak out because he like gos through different body's and sees some totally crazy things, and hes like only 15, plus his life so far has been totally messed up so it would be like totally crazy for me. again its this argument and historical thing, its a fantasy book this never happened the world would not be changed at all. and again its this argument thing im not making an argument of it, nor in my opinion is any one else.
