"The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven" by Sherman Alexie

In Sherman Alexie’s “The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fist Fight in Heaven”, Alexie writes about desperate Native American guy, who lives in the United States without hopes and aims. He is rejected from American society and has no reason and inspiration to live a better life. He has no job, alcohol is his everyday drink and anger is his guide in life. He can’t even find the common language with his girlfriend who he fights with every single day. I believe he feels insecure in this joyful American society and anger is his defense. Maybe he is not just rejected but doesn’t want to be accepted here. Disappointed and depleted, the main character of the story returns home, to Indian reservation, where he is welcome and easily finds job. Here, on the reservation, segregated from American culture, he knows that it is his home. He easily finds job and lives the life he wants. Sometimes, I think people should live in the communities which they belong; in this case they can reach their fullest potential and feel significant to others.
