Tonight I have accomplished something I honestly didn't think I was going to do (: and I'm very happy for this. I have completed my first book. My Goals are to continue to read strong (:.
The book I finished is called "The absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian". This honestly was a very good book, although probably 2 pages were inapporiet haha but not that bad.
It was about this boy who lived on the "rez"..Indian Reservation...he was about to become a freshman in high school. He lived at home with his family and his best friend Rowdy also was always around due to his dad being a drunk and always beating on his mom and him. On the first day of school Junior opened a book only to find his mom had the book before him he ended up throwing the book at the teacher and broke the teachers nose...In the long run this was good because when he went to apologize to the teacher, his teacher told him he needed to leave. His teacher had great hope in him unlike most of the Indians who didn't have any hope in the future. They all considered themselves poor and never having the chance to go to college. So that day he went home and told his parents he wanted to go to the "white" school 22 miles away. His parents actually allowed him to go which was very unexpected. He was the only Indian there all the "whites" stared at him. He saw the a very pretty girl her name was Penelope...when he told everyone his name they all laughed they thought Jr was a funny/weird name. No one liked him at first. Indian rules were to fight everyone who mocked you or your family or even your tribe. anyways to sum it up a little shorter...He made the bball team the varsity team. He never expected that at all he thought he would just be on the spare team. oh yeah i forgot to tell that he got the guts to go up to this kid who was very smart his name was Gordy and asked him if he would be his friend. He also got Penelope as his girlfriend. (: woots!
There bball team lost to Juniors rev the first time they played them. That game Junior ended up going to the hospital because he had got taken out by Rowdy really bad. Then later they played the rev again and they ended up winning by 40 points!!!!!!!
In the end the book was all about the boy who everyone and him self thought he couldn't accomplish alot accomplished more then imagined. He went Thur death of his grandma and sister and dads best friend, also hated from his tribe for betraying them, hatred from his best friend, hatred from white people at school. He got the girl..typical teen book (: and was the bball star (: and the end his old best friend didn't hate him any more (:
This book was an extremely good book and I would highly suggest reading it to anybody! It kept my interest the entire time.
