Answer:
In this excerpt, the author implies that Lincoln changed his demeanor in order to succeed in politics, and he may not always have been his most sincere self.  McClay notes that Lincoln was a “country-boy” who changed his personality to become a “wise, prudent leader.” He begins a paragraph describing Lincoln as a man full of “dry, tall tales,” then discusses how today, he’s ”revered for his combination of faith and modesty” as a man ”who sought to do God’s work.” The way McClay structures this stark contrast, the somewhat sarcastic tone he takes when describing the perception of the political Lincoln as “demigod,” and the “more human” words he uses to describe the real, private Lincoln suggest that the former president may have been somewhat disingenuous or hidden his real self as a politician.

Alexie suggests that the narrator has had difficulty coping with certain emotional experiences. This difficulty can be seen by the fact that the narrator believes that “words are too unpredictable” and “too limited.” The emphasis on unpredictability suggests the narrator has possibly felt the negative repercussions of someone else’s words. The evidence also suggests that he has not been able to express himself as well in writing as he can through drawing. The hopes he places in drawing as the “only real chance to escape the reservation” also indicates hardship. The use of the word escape shows that he wishes to move away from some circumstances that he perceives to be bad in his life and the world and move towards something better.
