Resources for 10th grade English

Smoke Signals

Movies based on literature are often best when they present an interpretation of the original text instead of simply trying to replicate it on screen. Please choose a scene from Smoke Signals that effectively represents an important theme, character, symbol or relationship that is drawn from The Lone Ranger & Tonto Fistfight in Heaven and discuss how and why it constitutes a powerful reimagining of the original. Bear in mind that Sherman Alexie wrote the screenplay for the movie as well as the book.
