Alexie Prompt
The Alexis stories have one common ground that the each show in one way or another some form of deception through trickery. The trickery gives each of the stories there own little twist. The trickery of the from the stories have different reasons for being used. They range anywhere from cheap fun to cruelty and wickedness. One of the most entertaining ones is in the Amusement park when dirty Joe while drunk is put onto the roller coaster. Sadie and Victor did this so they could not be the ones being laughed at by the crowd, they even offer the amusement park worker cash to keep dirty Joe on there while he is passed out. Problems did occur though while in the fun house. During this part everything seems to foreshadowing what will happen next. For example, the were all out dancing and drinking at the cowboy bar Victor’s aunt reminds her husband to drive carefully due to having so many drinks when they went out. Sadly, her husband wrecks his care not long after. This distinctly takes one back to her telling him to drive carefully. One of the other trick that I feel is the most malicious once again deals with Victors aunt. After delivering her child she was tricked to sign an unknown paper. She was told that the papers where to identify her as an Indian. What she didn’t know is that the paper she signed gave permission to get her “tubes tied”. All of these forms of trickery gave the stories there own unique characteristics.
