The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian By: Sherman Alexie

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
This following book is also a book that I have read before and it is number three from the book report ideas.
There’s going to be those books where you hate a part of it so my part that I didn’t like about this book was when Junior (main character) told his best friend Rowdy that he would be going to an all white school away from the reservation. So Rowdy got really mad and punched Junior in the face. It is sad to have your own best friend punch you in the face. That was no way to solve a problem and Junior is scrawny so it is not like he would get back up and fight back.
Another part I didn’t like about this book was when Junior’s sister, Mary, ran away. Junior thinks she ran away because he went to the white school and that got her jealous because he went somewhere he actually wanted to go in life. She just stayed in a basement even though she knew that wasn’t what she wanted to do. So, when Mary runs away, she gets married and doesn’t have any money and then she dies. She died because her and her husband had a party and got drunk. So then they went to sleep and someone was trying to cook soup on a hot plate and forgot about it and left so the fire was left on and Mary and her husband burned to death. Those were the only two situations I didn’t really like about the book or that were sad. Everything else was great!
