Rachel G True Identity The short story “Flight Patterns,” by Sherman Alexie, tells the story of William, a victim and culprit of stereotyping, who indulges in the typical American life. Alexie, throughout the short story, incorporates vivid diction and characterization in order to introduce readers to the fact that present-day reality involves extreme amounts of stereotyping. The purpose of such incorporation is to allow readers to understand the significance of race to a society. In simpler terms, by analyzing the characterization throughout the short story, one can see that race is a leading factor that causes stereotypes. Race, due to its stereotypical nature, should not be used to portray an individual’s true identity.
Ethnic Notions The film Ethnic Notions showed the harsh realities of racism in America from as far back as slavery to the civil rights era as it pertained to oppression.

Through Steinbeck’s response to the socio-economic
“Unnecessary Controversy” Unnecessary Controversy “Jims’ a nigger and wouldn’t understand it” (Twain 182). That’s what Huckleberry Finn says about Jim, a runaway slave that he is helping and as if black people are any less intelligent. The word “nigger” gives the story more meaning instead of what some people think offends the reader. Throughout the book, Huckleberry struggles with himself about whether he should be helping Jim or not and that struggle claws at the reader. Mark Twain, the author of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, made a good choice to include controversial words in the book to show racial injustice and should be taught in schools.
