Sherman Alexie's childhood

This story I tell you about  The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian tells about a native boy who grew up on a Indian reservation and decided to get transferred to a white school. Who even had a few hard times with his life in the reservation with everyone bullying him and picking on him. Even the loved ones around him dieing.

Junior quickly made friends with a boy named Gordy at this new school. It was tough making new friends where you did not fit in around but he found someone who resembled him and quickly became a tribe. My opinion about Gordy and Juniors friend ship is that I think that Juniors relationship with Gordy was a big step for Junior to fit in with the pale skins aka white people. The relationship between Junior and Gordy showed people that Junior was not a complete stranger because the color of his skin or where he came from or even the tribe Junior came from. Gordy did not let Juniors solemn thoughts bring Junior to the point of abdicating.

I think that Junior learned that know matter the color of the skin everybody is the same. Everyone has emotions and how everyone has there own philosophy's on how life works and how they will deal with things.
