“They are killers and want to live”(Alexie 76).

“I see a soldier slam into an old woman. She falls he rides over her one more time.”(Alexie 90)

“I smashed a gun over the general’s head'(alexie 100)

these quotes claim that violence causes destruction between people, and the deaths are very unnecessary, and those deaths are in vain; all in all, these people who were murdered should have thought that what they are doing is wrong and should rethink what they are doing.
