I liked this story. I've been reading "American" literature for a while without passion because I've been reading some deadening stuff. I had to considering this is a course that I'm taking at my university. However, this story revived my passion towards reading more and more American literature. It shows how the indigenous peoples in the reservations don't give up their own civilisation. This is embodied by the fact that Thomas likes telling and hearing stories and then much. Also, the fact that Victor goes throu I liked this story. I've been reading "American" literature for a while without passion because I've been reading some tedious stuff. I had to because this is a form that I'one thousand taking at my academy. However, this story revived my passion towards reading more than and more than American literature. It shows how the indigenous peoples in the reservations don't give up their own civilisation. This is embodied past the fact that Thomas likes telling and hearing stories and then much. Also, the fact that Victor goes through a hard fourth dimension trying to keep their tradition when it comes to burying the dead. Information technology got my attending how the writer emphasizes the absurdity of celebrating the 4th of July because "it ain't similar it was [their] independence" as Thomas puts it.

I call back this is a story virtually not being Americanized. Information technology'south about sticking with the roots, not the routes. Regardless where i lives, I think it's important to keep one's culture and values.

" I have only my stories which came to me before I fifty-fifty had the words to speak. I learned a 1000 stories before I took my first thousand steps. They are all I have. It'south all I can do" Thomas Builds-the-Fire

I highly recommend this!
