![]() ![]() The author, Sherman Alexie, was born a Spokane Indian just like Junior, and I believe he wanted his readers to understand how Native American teens that live in reservations struggle to escape the future that was already determined for them. I was impressed by how the tragic events that took place in the story did not come across as a shock, but instead as natural things that happen in life. My heart was simultaneously broke into a million pieces and made me laugh as the pieces are put together over and over again. It was a combination of tragedy, drawings, humor, despair, and hope that made me so engaged with reading this book. ![]() In the novel, the main character Arnold Spirit, Junior, is traveling throughout his journey of self-discovery. I really enjoyed reading the book The Absolutely True Diary of a Part – Time Indian. ![]()
