My story and prompt i chose.
What You Pawn, I Will Redeem" (Sherman Alexie, 2003)
Prompt 2 In some stories, characters come into conflict with the culture in which they live. Often, a character feels alienated in his/her community or society due to race, gender, class or ethnic background. The texts below all contain a character who is ‘outcast' or otherwise disconnected from society in some way, reflecting important ideas about both the character and the surrounding society's assumptions, morality, and values. Choose a text and consider the questions below as you critically read the text. Then, craft a working thesis that suggests how this alienation is expressed in the text and why it is significant.
