In chapter 10, there are two friend who shocked by racism. In “Smoke Signal” there are two friends who could not understand each other. However, they overcome their problem by having travel and they could understand each other. So I think, Francine and tony also can overcome racism by having kind of activity that can help each other to overcome racism and for understanding more each other. It is wrong just break away to avoid racism. Like Victor and Thomas in the “Smoke Signal”, they should find solution by doing something that can help overcoming their problem.
Reaction to film
I watched this movie very interestingly. It is quite interesting why Arnold did this his family and why he became alcoholic. When they started cross country travel for finding Arnolds ash, it was so impressive. In addition, when Suzie Song told about Arnold, why did he become like that and why did he just disappear. He wanted to be responsible father but he could not stand what he did to Thomas family. I feel pity on Arnold. As Victor could understand his father and Thomas, I think it is most impressive scene in the “Smoke Signal”. It was one of the good movies that I have ever seen.
