When the Praying Towns first settled in Plymouth, the Wampanoag were diminishing in numbers, and subject to attacks by other local Indian tribes. Massasoit’s first step in ensuring the safety of his people was to; befriend a white man named Edward Winslow. What turned out to become a lifelong friendship started as two struggling leaders desperately searching for a better way to thrive in uncertain times. The two men quickly created an alliance that was based on an agreement that the Wampanoag and Plymouth settlement would not attack each other, and help defend each other from attacks by local enemy tribes. Finally through this initial alliance, Massasoit was able to start trading and acquiring European weapons, which enabled the Wampanoag to better defend themselves in battle.
Black Elk said to Neihardt, "What I know was given to me for men and it is true and it is beautiful. Soon I shall be under the grass and it will be lost.

This is still a very personal quest for him. He feels as if he will be a failure to his people if he does not find the next young boy to step up as chief and lead everyone to a better life. In this way he has made himself responsible for the well being of his entire tribe by believing they are unable to prosper without him finding the next prophet. Throughout the movie we see his quest which starts with hope in that by opening a school for the boys in the tribe he can help one of them realize their potential and find their strength in being a prophet. We then see his disappointment after the final test where he sends the boys into the ocean to retrieve his important whale
Producing is shown in the movie, The Village. It is revealed that the production of the original story of the village is fabricated. It is shown that Edward Walker has told a group of people in counseling of an idea he has of creating a village where they could sustain their lives without the pain of losing a loved one like they had in their lives before. This is where the production of village starts, where they start to create a story to prevent the future generations from entering the woods and finding out about “the towns.” The elders put together their own reality, which is their intellectual creation and then they named it so that the story that they produced would be maintained. Maintaining keeps that story alive; it provides the community with the ability to live on with the story that they believe.
I began to think that the author is now telling us how he began his journey or struggles of reading. Sherman then begins to explain how his family struggled through life living off of whatever means they could, as he depicted by saying “We lived on a combination of irregular paychecks, hope, fear and government surplus food” (583). Now, the essay to me has unfolded as a young Indian boy on a reservation that has a passion for reading but his family is dealing with financial poverty. He has to overcome the thoughts and beliefs of his tribe as well as the outside public opinion that Indians are not smart. Sherman Alexie takes us through a journey of how he discovered reading and how it became a passion to him.

Gogol finally changes his “good name” to Nikhil; the one his parents wanted him to have when he was small. Nikhil spent his full life in exploring, searching and transforming himself. However, as he grows older, he comes to appreciate what his parents went through while moving to this country and how hard it was for them to adapt to their adopted country. It won’t be wrong to say that it is a novel of self discovery and is very well written. CRITICAL ANALYSIS: The Namesake takes the reader behind the closed doors of people who have immigrated to find a better life and the challenges they unexpectedly discover in the process.
