Think about who or what is the common “antagonist” that might exist among the materials
Write a brief introduction in which you discuss how the ideas in the Wikipedia article, “Cultural Identity” apply to your own sense of identity and how they apply to Alexie’s sense or struggle with identity.
Develop several body paragraphs in which you use examples from the interview, the poem, the film, and the short stories to examine the struggle, as Alexie sees it, with the conflicts associated with Native American identity in America, particularly how he perceives this conflict in relation to himself.
In the poem, story, and interview, Alexie is attempting to get at some kind of truth about Native Americans and their relationship with America.Develop at least two paragraphs in which you explore how Alexie’s ideas can be applied to Flannery O’Connor’s quote, “The truth doesn’t change according to our ability to stomach it.”Use specific examples from Alexie’s work, including the interview, to develop and support these ideas.
Conclusion: Your last paragraph needs to be devoted to a discussion of at least one thing you know now that you didn’t know before this assignment.Explain what you now know, explain why it’s relevant, and explain how you think you might be able to apply this new knowledge.
