As we read Sherman Alexie's novel, focus upon
Who are our true friends? How do we recognize them?
What makes us lie?
Native American living
Suburban white middle class life
Friendship
Coping
Addictions
Multiculturalism
Lies
Identity
Othering
Self-Loathing
Cultural Pride
Quotes to focus upon:
"I used to think the world was broken by tribes...black and white. By Indian and white. But now I know it isn't true. The world is only broken into two tribes: the people who are assholes and the people who are not," (Alexie 176)
"Lies have short shelf lives. Lies go bad. Lies rot and stink up the joint," (Alexie 119)
