After listening to Serial, a podcast based on the awaiting trial of a high school star Adnan, I believe that he is guilty of killing his, at the time, girlfriend Haemin Lee. First of all, Adnan doesn’t anything specific from that afternoon. If anyone got a call from the police saying that your friend is missing, you would definitely remember every detail of what happened that day because it is not something that you can just forget. Just to add to that, if your friend is still missing the next day, you would go over all of the specifics with the people that youre both friends with to try and put together every piece of the story.

The true Native American culture died long ago, leaving only the aspects that white people can embrace in order to deny that they forced the death and assimilation of Native Americans. Native American culture has become lifeless culture losing everything but what the dominant culture deems to be profitable. The binding classification of being a Native American in a society where Native American culture is devalued and made into costumes forces the modern Native American to play a part in America’s romanticized Indian culture festival or to blend in with the crowd. As seen in “The Real Indian Leans Against” and “A New Story”, Native American culture has not survived because whites deem it worthless, forcing its members into assimilation and submission.…
