I found this story interesting mainly because of the title. In the story the main character/narrator is a Native American young man. He leaves his family behind on the reservations and moves to Seattle with his girlfriend. While in Seattle he feels as if he does fit in. He argues with his girlfriend who complains that he is a drunk. Also, he is harassed by the police for being in a neighborhood that is mainly white. When he moves back home to the reservation he finds that does not fit in at home either. In this story the Native American struggles with his race, he feels somewhat inferior because his skin color is not white. Essentially he is Tonto the Native American sidekick but, he wants to be the Lone Ranger and of this he is fighting with himself.
