In Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, Junior (the narrator) shows his audience what it is like to be an Indian. This first person narrative book emphasizes on how little Indians feel sometimes. He is stuck in a reservation where there is no hope left. However, Junior is the last person with hope. He quickly makes the decision to change schools and hopes to get a better education.
What really caught my eye was when Junior said at one point, “I almost felt like a human.” This made me so disappointed that people treated Indians like non-human beings. Junior tells the audience how poor they are treated, but he tries to brush it aside. I like how he is trying to stay positive, but I think that at one point in the book he will break down from all the negativity around him.
