A second assigned short story that I wish to talk about is The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven by Sherman Alexie.  While there is an actual collection of short stories which make up the entire body, we were only asked to read one.  This particular story is a about a young Native American who talks about the everyday racism he deals with because of his dark skin and long hair.  The young man talks about a particular night where he went to a 7/11 on a hot summer night to get a creamsicle. He describes the way the clerk stereotypes him because of his race.  The young man goes on to talk about issues that he has dealt with in his life such as alcoholism, a broken relationship, and the job he currently holds. The youth also takes about dreams he has; as well as restlessness that he has been experiencing his entire life.  The story ends with the young man asking about what he thinks his future will entail.
