The central idea of “Black Hawk’s Surrender Speech 1832 is that the white men are worse than natives. Indians are doing nothing more than defending their lands and families. The white men may not scalp the head; but they do worse-they “poison the heart”, Like any poison this one too spreads, slowly killing off the Black hawk by creating hypocrites and liars, adulterers, lazy drones, all talkers, and no workers just like the white man. Thus solidifying the central Idea that white men are worse than Indians.

This essay compares and contrasts the theme of flight in three different time periods and cultures through the following research question: In which ways is the theme of flight similarly and differently channeled through the Roman “Icarus”, the French Le Petit Prince, and the African American Song of Solomon, and what does this explain about how the ancient Romans, the 20th century French, and the 20th century African Americans viewed the future? As this is a very specific question pertaining to deep analyses of wildly different cultures, it was first required to research the culture of the ancient Romans, the French, and the African Americans and to garner a level of understanding about how each culture portrayed flight.

Through the setting, plot structure, and characterization, Alexie uses both books to show the struggle that a modern Native American faces.…
