Abstract

Novelists use attractive and meaningful words to make readers pay attention to their novels. These words are likely chosen from the developing issues at the time of writing. This article studies how literary studies can show it to public. The focus is on interpreting why an author writes about a clan in a specific case. Indians, the native people of America, become necessary in Forrest Carter’s novels The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Education of Little Tree, and Watch for me on the Mountain. Forrest Carter shows how Native American interact with white men. He implicitly emphasizes his interest in presenting Native American. To explore and interpret the depiction of Native American in the three novels, this article uses the theory of historicism. With historicism, this article shows an interpretation that is based on the events found in history books and articles. In addition, this article shows the life of Forrest Carter especially his political life. Based on this analysis of the author’s writing, the relevant historical events and the author’s life, this article clarifies why Native American are important in Forrest Carter’s novels and why he chooses the Cherokee and Apache tribes. This article finds that Forrest Carter’s writings are propaganda. The writings become political persuasion to persuade people.
