The Book of the Red Convertible begins in America's native America where two brothers are staying with each other. There is the family made up of Lyman Martine and other brothers like Henry. There is a very strong relationship within the family, such that the family is united before the Vietnam War experience in the war. The story began very modestly when the insurance company paid Lyman for the claim against the destruction of his restaurant by a tornado. The dismissal of the worker by Lyman and his older brother Henry in no way represented the values ​​of society that normally echo the unity and brotherhood of society (Erdrich 310). The dismissal represented the individual aspect of people living in today's world and their inability to recognize people as their brothers and sisters as was the case in the past. By choosing other indigenous women on their departure during their free time, depicted how the two practiced the values ​​of the society and it showed that the family was the basic unit of the community and not the individual unit. The two brothers took the native woman home to Alaska, to a place called Chicken, and spent the entire summer with her family, demonstrating how individuals in society were important to each other and were therefore inseparable . Individuals are the products of many people and therefore grow with the help of other members of society. There is a lack of community in the story of the red convertible when Henry returns home after nine months of service in Vietnam. He was imprisoned for another six months, after which he was released and returned home. He comes home, an angry man, totally changed. The love and unity he showed his brother... middle of paper ... ugh in the absence of his company. The well-being of the family that was happy declined immediately after Henry's death. , because the social bond between the two brothers no longer exists. The rights of individuals are respected by the community, as illustrated by Henry's escape to Vietnam immediately after their journey from Alaska without his brother's rebellion.
