Essay 3

For paper three I think I will focus on why Native Americans were alcoholics and the affect it had on the individual, their family and so forth. Was drinking away to relieve some stress they were going through or did they have nothing more to do on the reservation and they turned to alcohol? The two text I think I will look at will be an Interview of Alexie and Smoke Signals ( Victor's Dad) .

    Be very careful to root this in the text itself. You won't want to make generalizations about why people become alcoholics. The reasons vary far too broadly from individual to individual. Focus on what Alexie says about it and how he treats it in one or two of his characters, and you'll be much more able to make a good, specific thesis.
