Sherman Alexei wrote this short novel,in this novel he address the different stereotypes that white men and women have of Indians. such as the Indian men being a worrier and Indian women being seen as a healer. these are just some of the stereotypes he addresses.
as i was reading i was wondering where he came up with some of the things he was saying like he said the white women dream of Indian men what makes him think that. everything i have read of watched in this class makes me think opposite. i may not be understanding what he is trying to say i was a little confused about what the point of this novel was i think it is about stereotypes.

Yeah, I didn't quite get the part at the end about people dreaming about other people or Indians being in white people. But I still think it is so interesting that being an Indian himself, Alexie still seems to be poking fun at his own people. I know he did not care for his child hood, but I don't think that is a very good reason to make fun of them in writing. Unless they really are like that? I don't know.
