The Absolutely true diary of a Part-Time Indian.

Pages 1-28
The story is about a little Indian boy. His name is Junior. He is 14 years old. He was born with too much brain grease inside his skull. So he had many problems that are caused by his brain damage. Those problems were about his teeth, hands, feet, and head. They were different from other people. He also has had a stuter and lisp for a long time. He can't talk normally, so he loves drawing cartoons. It helps him to explain his mind. His family is poor. For him, there are many bad things about being poor: he lose his sick dog, his parent lose their dreams and sometimes, they miss their meals. Beside his family, he also has a best friend, Rowdy. Junior said that he and Rowdy are inseparable.

MY RESPONSE: I'm really surprised that a 14-year-old boy can can be brave like that. If i were him, i couldn't be strong like that. He can stand all the hurts from the brain damage and from other people. He can smile and make me laugh a lot. I really like this story, because it is more special than other stories about young people who were unlucky in their lifetime. This is not a sad story. Junior only used funny words and made people see his problems by laughing and compassion. Do you think he will have a good result for his brain damage and he will be a typically people? I hope so.
