The author, Sherman Alexie, describes alcohol abuse as a leading factor in the disenfranchisement of many inhabitants of the reservation. Alcohol can be seen as the main catalyst that prevents Arnold's family and friends to succeed in life. This is demonstrated in the actions of Arnold's parents, Eugene's death, and Grandma Spirit's death.

Alcohol is very harmful to health and can make people very violent, a clear example is Rowdy's father who is violent with his family, beats them and only cares about drinking

Alcohol is very harmful. Don't drink alcohol if you don't want to lose your loved ones. Alcohol influences Arnold childhood as his dad drinks a lot of alcohol and during Christmas his dad ran away and came back drunk which is very upsetting. Arnold's dads friend died because he was drunk and had a fight .

Alcohol abuse is a danger both for health and for others, a clear example that alcohol is a danger are all those deaths caused by it. This can leave a very big mark on your life and that of others and bad experiences that cannot be erased. Arnold's life is surrounded by people with a very bad influence on alcohol, this makes the life of both those people and Arnold's difficult.

Alcohol is very bad for one's health. Alcohol can lead you to poverty because you waste your money on things that don't matter. You leave your family without a good impression, and you will only teach your children to do the same as you.

Many people who drink alcohol end up in very bad conditions because they do not spend time with the family and risk their lives on the street because they are consuming alcohol
