"The Lone Ranger And Tonto Fist Fight In Heaven" Sherman Alexie

This story is about and indian born man who is in love with a "white" woman and he can not be with her because he feels as if he doesn't fit in in Seattle and in the world that she lives in because he is and "outcast"and he doesn't want to be in the indian reservation either. He always has these very disturbing dreams of the Indians and cowboys killing one another. The man is very lost in his life. He doesn't have a job all he does is hang out all day and watch game shows on tv and drink, until he tries to better himself at the end and he gets a job and stops the drinking.

I liked this story. I felt bad for the main character because he was lost in his life. And he was discriminated upon because he was indian. People would just look at him and be scared without even knowing anything about him, like the clerk in 7-11.
