The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

The weekend Dr.D gave us this book by Sherman Alexie I went home and saw that we had to read 53 pages. I was not bothered by this because I am a fast reader, so I sat down on my couch and started reading. I finished the reading in fifteen minutes.

I enjoyed the cartoons that Junior drew and the language he used to describe his life and his differences compared to white people and the other Indians living around him. Alexie uses descriptive words to help the reader visualize what Junior's everyday life is like and gives the readers good background information. The mood in the beginning of the book fit with Junior's character, fun, creative, and hopeful. Once Junior started to be doubtful and upset, I started to doubt and be upset which shows that readers get involved in the story easily. I am enjoying this book so far and I am excited to see what the book holds in the future.
