The Antelope Wife:Realities

Almost Soup is as Indian as a the humans who want to eat him. As a pudgy young white puppy he was set to be perfect soup, until Cally saved him with her young girl charm. A twist to the story being told from a human point of view Almost Soup guides us through the reality of the life of a reservation dog. Our little puppy and soon adult dog shows us reality for not just himself but the Indians as well and also demonstrates to us the more harsher realities beyond anything I have read thus far. Indians have a variety of tradtions, white puppy soup, tying down a dog with stones and throwing them in a river, leaving pets alone and abandonment. To me it has seemed that we have been faced with only the realities of harshness the writers have chosen for us to see, not the ones that may show signs of their own harsh actions. (Erdrich, 73-98).
