Analysis

The Book “The Absolutely true Diary of a part -time Indian,” written by Sherman Alexie and published 2007, deals with an Indian boy Who lives in the res and Triers to leave it. It is written in the first person narrator perspective of the main character Junior.

In the first pages Junior tells about his meals and that sleeping the only thing against an empty stomach (p.17 ll.14-15).But the hope that his parents will come  and come and bring a bucket of Kentucky fried chicken (p.17 ll.16-17).He tells us about his sick dog Oscar got really sick and will probably die.(p.18 ll.6-7).Juniors mum says that they bring him to the vet but the mum lied (p.19 ll.17-19).”I’ll pay you back I said,I promise.”(p.20 ll.3-5).Is an alliteration and expresses that Junior won’t to help Oscar and bring him to the vet and pay him.

All in all Junior is sad about Oscar and not really happy with his Situation in the res and also in his family.

Diary entry

Dear diary!

Today I saw a carton of Junior with big hands and feets and also with a skinny body.I was scared and sad about it that he draws himself in such a ugly and depressive  way.I think he should be more self-confident and happier,but I also know he is very sad because living in the rez and be so poor and his family,too!Another thing is the situation with Oscar.Oscar was Juniors best friend with me.Never the less I try to be the best friend for him and protect him as well.Maybe I say him that he should be happier and also self-confident.All in all he is my best friend and helps me a lot and I think he can do something because he is very powerfull,funny and intelligent.
