By Sherman Alexie. Stereotypes depicting as themes and tragedies.Creates strict guideliens no who can love who. Depicts beautiful Indian as one with endless beauty/brown skin (fertile, pure, holy). Indian man of horse culture is better than a Indian man who is a terrible, terrorists, and rapist. Ends with comparison that white people are evolving to Indians, while Indians are becoming ghosts.

Lara Mann. Loosing her land and heritage (crumbling). Sentence fragmentation to emphasize point of losing parents being together. Rhyme e.g. Mississippi to fissured. Choctaws are all the pride she has in family.

Natalie Diaz. What has she done that she has justified in concise sharp contrast to descriptive and elaborated upon. She says "what have we done? what do we do?" Imagery of horse suicide, daunting and harsh image of God.

Old Coyote loses skin and gets a new tattered shell. Coyote got outplayed at polar too money times. Plays with family and fall (pray full). All the "whites" in Wisconsin run of course, fearing the different "ones." Coyote tells them something by making them say "excuse me."

By Wole Soyinka. Moving from a peaceful death to a passionate narrative in which he died as his heart lies in flames, transitioning to hell.

By Milan Kundera. Well known successful author. The origins of this concept of Goethe, was a process of formation that the nations are in favour of it and this reason makes friendly overtures. Mechanism for understanding your own culture. Nations are unaware of their idiosyncrasies. Believes the characteristic traits are now most evident in the French nation. Causes variances in translation. World is expanded on homeland. Understanding of one another and culture, creates peace. Makes Germany's literature 'better' by comparison.

Franco Morreti. World Literature is a "patchwork of other people's research without a single direct textual reading." The U.S. closer reads this and is bad because investing individual texts, allowing Americans to judge and categorise books by value of reading. Supports a generalised theme. Distant reading (a condition of knowledge) allows for degrees of focus-yet focused all the same. Gain knowledge evolving nature.
