Refer to Explorations in Literature for a complete version of this story.
In "This Is What It Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona," how does author Sherman Alexie use the character of Thomas to convey one of
the story's themes?
•
By showing that Thomas does not have a job or a family, Alexie demonstrates that people who spend their time wrapped
up in stories are likely to be unprepared for the struggles of real life.
O
The mistreatment that Thomas endures on the reservation lets Alexie suggest that storytelling iS a dangerous practice that
should be avoided when possible
By depicting Thomas as less intelligent than Victor, Alexie shows that even the best storytellers do not always understand
the full meaning of the tales they tell.
The stories that Thomas tells and his desire to be listened to allow Alexie to show that telling and listening to stories IS an
important way people shape and understand their lives.

Answer:

  Connecting Thomas' memories and the feelings that comes through when he tells a story, Thomas demonstrates the meaning of all things happening, the truth behind life stories. Seeing things from the outside with such sensitivity and the way he expresses it is what makes Thomas a special character. He is a born storyteller but many times people run from him, running from his stories and running from the truth.

         Thinking about that, it means the stories that Thomas tells and his desire to be listened allow Alexie to show that telling and listening to stories is an important way people shape and understand their lives.

The Wedding Dance int
The Dance
Pieter Brueghel, Kermesse (1567-8)
William Carlos Williams
Oil on canvas, approximately 45 inches x 64.5 inches Kunsthistorisches Museum,
23
In Brueghel's great picture, The Kermess,
the dancers go round, they go round and
around, the squeal and the blare and the
tweedle of bagpipes, a bugle and fiddles
tipping their bellies (round as the thick-
sided glasses whose wash they impound)
their hips and their bellies off balance
to turn them. Kicking and rolling
about the Fair Grounds, swinging their butts, those
shanks must be sound to bear up under such
rollicking measures, prance as they dance
in Brueghel's great picture, The Kermess.

mating, hard-shelled eggs are laid in a
