The similarity between When the Legends Die and Dances with Wolves is really close
...
Both, John and Tom have water around them
...
The animals which deal with John and
Tom have a strong connection to them
...
In John’s case the wolf and in Tom’s the bear
...
Even though both of the symbolic animals had died, he remained strong
in his friendship with the Indians and chose to never go back to the people who killed them
...
The reservation was just a part of a much larger
circle, the circle of Tom's life
...
He was taught a new way of life, but for a time he wanted
to go back to the old ways, to make his peace
with his world and himself
