Independence Day

this piece was very good. Racism is something lots of people deal with day to day and it isn't any different in alaska. I like the ending a lot (i never wore that bandana or the jean jacket again) and I like when she tells the part about the owner ofthe bar getting shot, and how she was glad taht he was dead. It showed her humanity. It was a very good piece, and the entire manner of the piece shifted as the paper did, because from the beginning, she was a wistful 12 year old, who couldn't care less about important things, who live in a different world, who was forced into the world of maturity by a racist bar owner with a gun. its unfortunate, but worse has happened.

i really liked this story, and it was a good vignette.
