Alexie Amusements
In the first page of the chapter amusements. there is a quote “I lower a frayed rope into the depths and hoist the same old Indian tears to my eyes. The liquid is pure and irresistible” by adrian c Louis. When i first read that it was like what the heck are these people talking about. Maybe im wrong or just not understanding it but after reading that chapter to me them words ment alot more. When they talked about the frayed rope and into the depths i think they are talking about the actions of Victore and his wrong decision to put dirty joe on that roller coaster when he is passed out drunk. Not even thinking of the wrongs and damage that could come out of this situation. Then when he talks about the same hoist old indian tears to my eye. This is to me when he realized what he did was wrong and where he did it was a bigger mistake being in a white people fair that dont appreciate indian people. First time when people start to notice it they werent laughing about how funny it was they were laughing because it was getting done to an indian if that was a white person on that back cart do u think that they would be reacting the same?
