Post :8 So Many Ironies

I agree with Mac when he says Junior's first basketball game is against Willpinit. This is very unluckuy for Junior. Another irony is when Mr.P is hit with Junior's book, but he apologizes. This entire book is filled with ironies. That is another reason why the book is so good. The irony that really hurt Junior was when his Grandma was killed by a drunk driver, and she had never had alcohol in her life. When Junior finds out his sister is dead, he can't stop laughing because he is so grateful his father didn't kill himself on the way to pick him up. These ironies change Junior's life in so many ways. While some make him sad and unhappy, some of them make him a stronger person.

Post :12 FHS Says

The Absolutely True diary Of A Part-Time Indian touched me in many ways and I could not put down this book. It tells you the lessons and struggles that Junior faces throughout the book. Although this book is very funny and humorous, it demonstrates how serious a teenager's life can be. He faces so many challenges because of who he is and what situation he is in. Junior never quits at anything he has ever done. This is the most inspirational book I have ever read. I enjoyed every page of the book because you were always wondering what was going to happen next. This book is the perfect story for teenagers.

Post 10: Wisdom

I agree with Hayden when she says many people gave Junior advice. Mr. P tells Junior he needs to leave the rez if he wants a better life. Junior doesn't realize what a big chance this is. All of the people around him have failed. His parents, sister, and almost every person he has ever met have failed in life. Junior needs advice from these people and teachers. Those people made Junior into a stronger person. His basketball coach gave Junior more confidence then he had ever received. "You can do it", everyone in that locker room yelling for him made him believe in himself and it brought him to his greatest strength.

In this story, there were many times where I smiled or laughed. On page 23, Junior's picture of Rowdy was hilarious. Junior is a very humorous person and this makes the book better and more interesting to read in my opinion. His description of Mr. P was really funny too. I can't name all of the funny pictures and moments in this book because there are too many to name. Although I find this book really funny, I do think this book is very sad at times. It makes me think whenever I hear Junior say he didn't get presents on Christmas morning or he didn't eat dinner last night. For me, the funniest part of the book was when Junior met Earl. Earl protects his daughter, but Penelope has the exact opposite personality of her dad.

Blog :5 Relationships

During Junior's story, he makes new friends who respect him more than the people on the rez. Gordy was Junior's new friend at Reardan. They both came together because both were really smart, shared the same interests, and they both needed a friend. Gordy is like Junior's "comrade" at school. They are both a bit nerdy, but they connect so they become very good friends. Junior needs Gordy because leaving and going to Reardan was very difficult for him. Gordy makes him more comfortable in school so he begins to enjoy it more. These relationships he makes at his new school make him stronger and build up his self confidence. Without these people, Junior would have struggled a lot more at Reardan.
