This week i read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, by Sherman Alexie. It was pretty rough book, showing the difficulties of Juniors life. For example, how his older sister runs off to Montana and then dies from a fire started in her camper, and how poor his school is and how he is bullied because of his stutter and lisp that he has because of a birth defect. Arnold goes through a lot of scarring, painful things, and the author does not sugar-coat any of it.
The book was based on Shermans Alexie's life, and most of the things that occur in the book do really happen. His sister does really die, and he does have a stutter and lisp. All and all, I think that it was amazin that the author shared his stry with us. I'm sure it was difficult growing uo where he did and it was hard to out it down on paper.
