The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is about a teenager named Junior who lives in Spokane Indian Reservation. The protagonist of the story is a serious cartoonist and that is how escapes from the harshness of society. He draws about everything that happens to him in school, friends, families and bullies. Junior is also conflicted between two societies, first he was going to all Indian school and then all white school. He was lost between cultures and neither of society made it easy for him because he was being teased in both places. But it was worst for him at his Reservation because no one can have different lifestyle or break away from home which leads to teasing and bullying of poor Junior. He is very smart kid who wants to experiment and see outside world. He wants different life then the Reservation can offer him and tries to break away from that life that was predestined for him. In definite, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Alex Sherman is absolutely one of the funniest and best books with contents and concepts. I would recommend it for everyone to read because you will be laughing and crying until the end of the book. It will also motivate one and challenge others who are confined in their cultures to experience and experiment life outside of one’s norms. The book is about taking matters into one’s hands and to predestining your own future.
