Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is a book written in what seems to be written in first person in the point of view of a teenage Indian boy. This book takes place in modern day Reardan, Washington. I like this book because it is somewhat relatable to my life. I also like how the illustrator depicts Junior's life using comics and how Sherman Alexie explains Junior's feeling with vivid imagery and descriptive words.
I also like this book because it is causing me to learn about a culture that I din't otherwise know that much about. Although the depiction of Indian culture in this book might not be spot-on, I feel that there might be some truth to it. I also like how Alexie depicts Junior as an average awkward teenager. Something else that I like about the moral of the story so far is Junior's determination to perform to the best of his ability by going to a better academically but possibly less diverse school of Reardon. Despite all of Juniors challenges, he manages to make the best of everything and that's what really makes the book entertaining.
I really like how you give somewhat of a summary of the book but you are really focused on the reflection. Your thoughts are backed up by evidence from the text which is great, good job!
