Reading Response

Overall, the Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian has been surprisingly entertaining. From my own personal experience with required reading for school, the books I have read were very boring. The diary is very enjoyable to read and I understand the point of view of the narrator. I found it hilarious when Junior threw the book at his teacher. I did not understand his response to the books being outdated, though. It might just be me, but I do not care if my books are old and even if I did, I wouldn't be provoked enough to throw the book across the room.

I enjoyed the description of Mr. P. I enjoy how there are pictures that give the reader an entertaining understanding of how characters or scenes look. The fact that Mr. P was normally asleep during the class helps the reader understand what type of teacher he is. When I first read that Mr. P. had his nose broken, I felt bad for the man. After learning that he used to beat Indian children, I felt that he deserved it.
