True Diary of Part-Time Indian

ii. In the novel The Absolutely True Diary of Part-Time Indian the character that cannot relate to a student in grade 10 would be Junior. “ And if you’re fourteen years old, like me and you’re still stuttering and lisping, then you become the biggest retard in the world” (Alexie,4). The elements of his personality that the reader will detest, will be how he is really scared of doing things, for example; going to the powwow. Also some readers may detest him drawing of random things. Juniors experiences and emotions are realistic, for example; his sister passing away and his grandmother. I think his emotions and experiences are meaningful to the reader because it may have happened to him or her too. In some of the obstacles Junior had faced the reader could empathize for example; in the novel when Junior transferred to the white school, someone could have became his friend and helped him out, but no one did. In the other obstacles you couldn't empathize because you couldn’t do anything about it.
