How to Write the Great American Indian Novel

First of all, I really like Alexie and his writings. I feel that I have a better understanding of who he is as a person and a writer after seeing his interview in class. He describes in this short story that whites stereotype Indians. I really like this short story because it related to my first paper because it was about stereotyping Indians. He says that the hero has to be half white and half Indian which I think is kind of stereotyping in a way. I feel that in all of Alexie's writings that he compares Indians and whites. I wonder where he has come up with some of his sayings in this because it didn't have any citations. I guess he came up with these himself. I feel that he is bitter towards white people because he was bullied when he was younger for being different. I only think this because he always is upset that the white person is the good person which would make me upset as well. I hope we get to see the rest of his interview.
