Trickster BLOG
10 12 2006In Alexie’s book there are a few funny tales. Some of the tales potray a “trickster”. When i here or think of a trickster i get the image of some guy that play jokes on people. Like tieing someones shoes together when there not looking. the hole pie in the face joke and the notorius shaving cream in the sleeping man hand. In the book the form of trickster is in the form of a freind. One of the freinds gets wasted and passes out, His good buddies help him out by putting him on a roller coaster. Classical college material. I can see my selfing doing this to alot of my friends. I have been the trickster at many of my parties, most of the time it includes hair clippers. Having this type of humor in the book makes the book to me more fun to read. It gets me to laugh, and if im able to enjoy what im reading, ill be able to pick up and under stand it more. i find my self wanting to read on, something that i havnt done in a long time.
This prompt made me laugh. I like how you related your own life habits to the literature. I agree with all the points that you made. Wish you could expand on a few of the trickery themes or examples. Glad that you shared with everyone how you wanted to keep reading this book.
