salt by sherman alexie
And Strathairn, a pretty old guy, does a wonderful job reading the part of a young guy. I either didn't know or forgot this was a story-in-poems book. In distinctive prose of alternating voices, James and Anikwa reveal their ways of life, their friendship, and the strain on their relationship, changing it perhaps forever. The book was well received, and in February 2018 it was named the winner of the American Library Association’s Carnegie Medal for nonfiction.
This was so heartbreaking. I think the poetry. http://reading.kingrat.biz/story-reviews/selected-shorts-february-2010.
She was only forty-five. James and Anikwa are characters who will live on in readers’ minds. I find that his work is humorous, vulnerable, and consistently explores characters who discover there’s more to life than what is in front of them (and by extension, us readers).
I think the poetry was superb. I WROTE THE OBITUARY for the OBITUARIES editor. The piece didn’t affect me as strongly as some other Alexie pieces have, but it’s still awesome. This WAW possibility was all right, but I'm not sure it deserves all the praise it is getting. The trading post at the fort will not trade with them so that means the Miami tribe won't be able to get salt. I was first introduced to his work through his movie Smoke Signals, but I think my memory about the movie is wrong. Now tensions are rising—the Br.
In 2010 Alexie won a number of literary awards, including the PEN/Faulkner Award for War Dances (2009; another mix of prose and poetry) and the 2010 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Native Writers’ Circle of the Americas. Friends? His books included ‘The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven’ and ‘The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian.’ Learn more about Alexie… Alexie also contributed writing on a variety of subjects to the Seattle weekly The Stranger. There is so much potential for discussion of issues like Manifest Destiny. Welcome back. The boys, one a white settler, and the other from a native tribe called Miami. I love historical fiction and hope he will get the bug as well. After trading stops and precious commodities, like salt, are withheld, the fort comes under siege, and war ravages the land.
Anikwa, a Miami Indian, lives with his family and tribe in Kekionga.
I just happened to have finished the book, I really enjoyed "Salt" by Helen Frost.
There are no discussion topics on this book yet. The spareness suits her authorial voice, too.
I feel like the decision to make salt a symbolic focus for the story was a mistake.
Such senselessness! The two main characters are Anikwa (Indian) and James (American), Anikwa is very protective, in the book he tries to save a dead frog for dinner but the other character Isaac throws it into the river. It is wrong that the invading white people took the salt from the Native American's land and then sold it back to them, but that is not even close to the worse thing they did even in this book. Updates? Also he gave James food when they were going to war. Let us know if you have suggestions to improve this article (requires login). Which of these films did Tom Cruise not star in?
