Short Story: A Trip To Montana
It all started in an old, abandoned movie theater. Jim was siting there watching the movie with his friends and his mom. All of a sudden a message came on screen saying, "Evacuate immediately a hurricane is coming!" If you stay you won't be safe you could drown. But, if you leave you won't drown. You will get food, shelter, and a place where you know you will be safe."

Jim asked, "What are we going to do? Are we going to stay or leave?"

Jim's Mom said, "We are going to leave and I guess we will just take your friends with us. Maybe that's why their families really didn't want them to come with us."

After three weeks, Jim asked,

    Montana 1948 Summary

    The story follows the Hayden family and their struggle with loyalty, justice, identity and family. When David's family's Native American housekeeper Marie falls ill, Frank Hayden, the local doctor is called. When Marie refuses medical treatment, David's parents, Gail and Wes, discover that Frank has been preying on the local native American women, raping and molesting them. Wes confronts Frank at a dinner at their father's house. Wes and Gail reach a compromise. When Marie is found dead, Frank convinces the family it is a result of the illness, however David proves (with many reservations) that Frank had murdered her, in order to silence her. Marie's parents choose to have her buried in North Dakota. The family faces much turmoil as Wes attempts to remain loyal to justice and family, but his inability to make a choice leaves him to imprison his brother in the basement. At this stage, David's grandfather intervenes, showing his clear favour for Frank over Wes. He sends men to break Frank out of his jail, however Gail fights to stop them, leaving her deeply traumatized by the experience. That night, the family heard the sound of breaking glass in the basement, but pass it off as caused by the anger of Frank. Next morning, Wes finds Frank dead in the basement, having committed suicide. The family choose to cover up the suicide, in an attempt to save Frank's reputation, however David's grandfather does not forgive Wes, and so Wes, David and Gail are ostracized from the Montana…

    Character in Montana 1948

    An important character in Montana 1948 is Wesley Hayden. He is introduced as a weak and oblivious character, who lives under the shadow of his brother Frank. Throughout the story, it is shown that Wesley is a lawyer who was coerced into being a sheriff due to the pressure put on him by his overpowering father. In this essay I will explore why Wesley Hayden is an important character in the novel Montana 1948 by Larry Watson. He is used to illustrate the theme of loyalty vs. justice, he grows the most as a person in the novel and he has to cope with making difficult decisions so the reader will empathise with him.…

    Filling in the Blanks of Montana 1948

    In Montana 1948 by Larry Watson, David’s father believes that all Indians are “ignorant, lazy, superstitious, and irresponsible,”(22) all qualities that through Jackson’s quest to restore his grandmother’s regalia in What You Pawn I Will Redeem by Sherman Alexie, are proven to be obscured from the truth. Even though the Haydens are so respected in Mercer County, while Native American Jackson Jackson lives a life of homelessness, the kind, generous qualities of Jackson make him a more likeable character than the Hayden family. When these two pieces of literature are compared to each other, it is clear that Jackson Jackson fills in the blanks of Montana 1948 with redemption for the Native Americans that reveals their true character and proves the wrongness of bigotry.…
