Dances with Wolves
The movie, Dances With Wolves starts off about a soldier in the U.S. Union who runs away from a military hospital because his foot was about to be amputated. This story takes place around the time of the Oregon Trail. I'm not actually sure but I believe that at one point he tried to kill himself by riding his horse through a battlefield. Because he survived, he was granted the choice of picking his own post. He stated that he wanted to have a post in the frontier because he wanted to see it before it was gone. In other words, he wanted to see it before the other white men turned it into houses and markets etc. In order to get to his post, he had to travel with a peasant that was going that way. On the way, Lt. Jon Jay Dunbar saw an abandoned post and decided to stay there. In later days, Indians eventually killed the peasant. The Lt. was the only white person there at the time. He entertained himself by writing in his journal daily and talking to his horse. He also had a wolf friend who kept coming around every once and a while who he named two socks. He named it that because it had two white patches that covered its two front feet. The land looked plain and was only filled with acre upon acre of grass fields. There
They eventually found the whole herd of live buffalo and hunted it down to have food. Five other Indians come along just to make sure there is not an attack of some kind. Later on at night, there was a loud rumbling sound almost as if an earthquake was happening. Dunbar became curious to know more about the tribe (which was later found out as the Sioux tribe) and its customs. Kicking Bird announced that there was a battle about to go on between the Sioux and another tribe. This has made it easier to communicate with one another and find out more about each other's culture. Meanwhile, Stands With A Fist and Lt. When the soldiers where on there way though the land, an arrow came out of nowhere and killed one of the soldiers. The tribe now considers him one of them. All the soldiers were killed except one that almost got away until an Indian boy named Smiles A lot killed him with an ax. Each day they began to make more and more progress in communicating with one another. , but stopped when he pulled out a gun.
