The Reservation

The Reservation

The reservation is very interesting to me because it's basically the Indians culture stuffed into like a small little village. And In that metaphorical village their culture is like a little treasure that is kept between them and it's basica all they know. They have their own sayings, their own stereotypes, and they have like their own little world. But I like it because it's all based off culture and family like everyone considers everyone to be family there. Everyone knows everyone and everything is kept between them all. It compares to our society and community because in some places of the city there are the same kinds of ethnic people and culture so everything is relatable around there. They have little stores that fit the cultures needs and restaurants of what they eat, like parts of our city where pizza is more popular than others and taco places and things like that. So we can relate in that way like the Indians do in the Rez. But Like the Rez everyone considers to be family and won't really hurt Eachother but it's like one family and I wish our community and society's were that close and had that kind of mind set. If so I think crime would be a lot lower in the city.

Native Son, Max and Bigger

In Native Son Max is the one that is most related to Bigger because he speaks out on how he feels about the black race and how racism played a role during that time and how it played the role during the part of the book where he feels that it influences the court scene. He basically speaks out for the black race banking on equality and how everyone should be treated included blacks on the basis of fairness and being equal. During the time of the book and when it was published racism played a big role in the world and blacks were looked down on and even in the book it's shown. So it's interesting to me that Max as being a white man can speak out freely on how he felt in the court room when he gave his sort of speech in the courtroom scene. What is also did which is huge in this moment he made bigger a believer and made bigger trust him. And that's big right now in the book because bigger doesn't trust anyone right now and he feels no one is in his corner and that everyone is sort of blind to the situation and How bigger chose to act. So of course there will be consequences of what he did but what this speech by Max did was is sort of gave the equal feel to everything because they won't really pull the racism card and go kind of easier on Biggers Because If not then Bigger would have Probably been in a really hard space. So Max comes off to me as someone thats really trustworthy and is really involved in his job because he then tells Bigger some personal stuff labour him and that's where I think he won Biggers trust. So Max on Bigger is a positive spot in this wild book that has plenty of Negative points.
