The novel “The absolutely true diary of a part-time Indian” by Sherman Alexie, which was published in 2007 , deals with a boy named Arnold `Junior` Spirit who is 14 years old. He is small, but intelligent and witty.                                                                                                                    The chapter 3 called “Revenge is my middle name” starts with Junior who is very sad about his dog who died and wants to “crawl into a hole and disappearing forever” but his best and only friend Rowdy- who is very tough- talks him out of it. Rowdys`s parents are drunks and he gets beaten up very often by his father. Junior´s parents are drunks too, but they would never beat him up, so Rowdy is hanging out at Junior´s house most of his time because it is a “safe place”. Rowdy asks Junior if he wants to go down to the powwow, the Spokane Tribe’s annual Labor Day weekend celebration. Junior really doesn’t want to go, because he knows that he will get beaten up there. Rowdy tells him that he will defeat him, so Junior agrees. The two boys walk the three miles to the powwow. Rowdy trips and jams his shoulder on a minivan. Junior laughs, which is a big, huge, terrible mistake.Angry, Rowdy shoves Junior down to the ground. He then throws an empty beer bottle at the minivan, and then, if that weren’t enough, he grabs a shovel and beats the vehicle with it.Junior runs away  into the camp of a set of very cruel triplets named the Andruss brothers. The three boys started laughing about Junior and knocking him down the ground. After that all, they just walk away and Rowdy finds Junior on the ground and vows revenge against the triplets. He does so later that night when the men are asleep. He sneaks into their camp, shaves off their eyebrows, and cuts their braids.Also, Junior tells that Rowdy is more important than his own family.
