Long Answer

1. As a code talker, Ned found inner strength through speaking his Sacred Language, and his fluency in Navajo and English got him a crucial job. Navajo was also instrumental in saving lives and ending the war, proving that the idea that Navajo was worthless was false.

2. Monsters represent Ned’s fear of the unknown. He is afraid of coconut crabs and the monsters from tales of deep water, but he is also afraid of enemy combatants, whom he refers to as monsters before he realizes that they are human, just like him. In the end, he overcomes all of these fears by remembering his place in his culture.
