Stereotypes and Contradictions It is a part of human nature to make judgments on others based solely on appearances. The short story “Flight Patterns” by Sherman Alexie reveals the sheer pervasiveness of stereotypes in American culture. The main character‚ William‚ is a walking contradiction in that he is a Native American businessman that loves his job and is always traveling‚ but hates to fly and hates to leave his family.
