        <description><![CDATA[The title The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven demonstrates that, despite the amicable depiction of the famous white lawman and his Indian sidekick, relationships between the two races are not that way in real life at all.  Enotes explains,

"The Lone Ranger and Tonto are symbols for white and native-American identity, respectively.  Their names are taken from a popular radio and television show of the 1950s in which a white man,...]]></description>

That mindset...that policy...continued through the centuries, manifesting as Indian Policy, and later as the Bureau of Indian AffairsIt is the government's need to control...the need to assimilate the Native American into regular Society...that has given rise to so much anger, loss of identity, addictions,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Taken individually, the stories in &quot;The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven&quot; present Victor at different stages in his life.  For example, when the reader is introduced to him in &quot;Every Little Hurricane&quot;, Victor is nine years old, and in the second story, &quot;A Drug Called Tradition&quot;, he is a teenager.  In &quot;The Only Traffic Signal on the Reservation&quot;, Victor is most likely in his mid-to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Victor is given a small drum by Big Mom, who says, &quot;That's my pager.  Just give it a tap and I'll be right over&quot;.  Big Mom is the &quot;spiritual leader of the Spokane Tribe&quot;, and she gives the drum to Victor after he has just spent the night trying to assert his manhood by experimenting with hallucinogenic drugs.  In his drug-induced state, Victor and his friends envision the injustices suffered by the Indians, and, when...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The hurricane is a metaphor, which indicates that its meanings are figurative, but the author does use it in two ways, one of which is more literal than the other.  The author uses the hurricane to describe the actual fight between Victor's brothers Adolph and Arnold, and the parallels between a storm and the fight have a literal feel to them.  As the two Indians rage at each other, they are compared to &quot;high-pressure and low-pressure...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In several of the stories, Alexie uses black humor and comedy to deal with the oppression.  We also see irony used a lot. For example in &quot;Thomas Builds a Fire&quot; the main character is sent to jail for life for a murder committed over 150 years ago.  Additionally, the language which Alexie uses is often times sarcastic.    Additionally, the author often, but not always, portrays the white men as being powerful but yet still somewhat...]]></description>
