In ‘Because My Father Always Said…’, he writes, ‘Indians were pretty much-born soldiers anyway. To others these would impact them heavily in some cases but, Alexie also shows that the inner strength and resilience that many Native Americans have helps tremendously with coping with these problems. These include poverty, alcoholism, racism, and isolation from society outside one’s reservation. In each and every story in this book, the hardships of Native American life in the late 20th century are present and highly active. Through this story, Alexie demonstrates that if love is true, it can overcome hate. She realizes that it’s useless to leave and wait for him to die alone so she decides to stay and make the best of the time they have left together. This quote is part of the scene where Norma comes back after she left for a while and accepts that JImmy is like he is and there is nothing that is going to stop him. “At least you’re good at one of them.” And we laughed. “And maybe, ” she said, “because making fry bread and helping people die are the last two things Indians are good at.” “Well, ” I said. “And we both know that dying isn’t something you ever done before.” I had to agree with that. We laughed a little more and then I asked her one more time, “Really, why’d you come back?” “Because someone needs to help you die the right way, ” she said.

Even though she still hates that he acts like this, Norma eventually returns to Jimmy because their love outweighs even the biggest flaws in their relationship. They love each other deeply, but in ‘The Approximate Size of My Favorite Tumor’ Norma leaves Jimmy briefly because she cannot stand his non-caring/lighthearted attitude toward his cancer. Norma and Jimmy Many Horses’ marriage is another example of this kind of conflicted relationship. He introduces the book – and this concept – in ‘Every Little Hurricane’ when Victor thinks of his uncles’ bloody fistfight as an expression of love. Throughout the book, Alexie suggests that the most intense relationships often combine elements of both love and hate. In The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fist Fight in Heaven, most of the stories in the book share similarities such as Love and hate, Resilience and Forgiveness. Today we will be talking about the themes that are incorporated in these hardships and sad parts. Sherman Alexie writes short stories in The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fist Fight in Heaven in a way that consistently incorporates the hardships and sad parts of the native American society and their extreme poverty.
