book review

Today I will be informing you about a book called The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian. Let me start of by saying it is probably on of my favorite books of all time, along with the Harry Potter series (which will never be dethroned), the Percy Jackson series and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

The summary of the book(without spoilers would be):
Arnold  better known as Junior, lives on a small town on a Spokane reservation known as Wellpinit. Arnold tells the story of life at Wellpinit, until his math teacher tell him to transfer to a small white school in the town named Reardan. Junior tells the roller coaster ride of life between the reservation and Reardan, and all his adventures ( all realistic, like sleeping hungry or playing basketball, no zombie hunting).

I can only say two things: Very Funny, Very Good.
Hope you read it.

My book is The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian. It is a book about a poor teen Indian boy on a Spokane reservation. He tells the story of his teen life. It is extremely funny. The best thing about my book is how you canto relate it. In fact, the reason it is so funny is because you can relate. There are shown the groups of high school, the studs, the cheerleaders, the nerd, and all of them are nothing like Arnold, the protagonist. There is no part of the story that isn't funny. Sherman Alexei (author) is so funny he puts humor into the death of Arnold's Grandma. Here's how, and i will try to make it as less spoiling and racist as possible. Arnold's grandma is hit by a truck, and to the comes a white man named Ted (who is a millionaire) and tells his story of the knowledge of the Indians. After telling his story, turns out he was all wrong, and runs without even paying homage. It may not sound funny on paper, but in the book it is.

Q#7

The tone of my piece would probably be nostalgia to this point because I mention the old days where I mention authors like Dr. Seuss and shel Silverstein and how reading used to be for enjoyment and how it's now forced on us. I guess it is also a bit butter to the English curriculum. 

Q😇six

The tone of the first passage is a bit serious near the end because of how they get the sub and how the learn to behave but through out the story it's lighthearted with the topic such as airplanes and spit wads. The tone of the second passage would be bitter. Definatly bitter due to how the narrator reacts to all the things Rochelle is doing like how she describes Rachelle putting on goose poop instead of mascara. 

Question #3

In my mind I find that the first passage creates a more intricate image in my mind. This is due to the multiple things the piece is described by. One exmple of the intricate imagery would be "Spitballs stuck to the ceiling.  Paper planes whizzed through the air." (exert#1)This creates the image right away in my mind of a somewhat dimly lit room with lack of adult supervision, with many, many younger children than myself, misbehaving with paper utensils of destruction. This is also sort of nostalgic because the 1st grade class next to mine when I was 6 had terrible behaving children, and one week, the teacher did not come due to family reasons, and they had sub for the week. They never shouted again.

Column draft

When  god created men, he really did not have many expectations. He pictured them all as lumberjacks, living in caves for all of eternity, and grooming earth making it look beautiful. An angel appeared and approached the omnipotent lord what he was trying to achieve.

Hashem (Judaism) replied “I don’t have high hopes for this one but let us see how it turns out. Here is what the features are.”

·        Idiotic sense for danger.

·        Strong body and large amounts of bravado.

·        Powered by food and testosterone

·        1 heart, 2 lung, 4 liter blood engine, with average life of 85 years.

·        All prototypes. ( No two the same)

And so the angel questioned “Where will the new men come from?”

“Like all other animals” Waheguru (Sikhism) replied, “through the fast shipping, insurance protected, top of the line, fleet of storks.”

The angel relaxed and replied “Well at least it is not us delivering, the elephant runs were disastrous, and we lost 30 angels over the Bermuda triangle due to those meddling aliens.”

And the angle retired to the Laz-e-Angel at the end of the office. Allah sat there with his ever-changing form at the redwood table drawing design for how the body would be shaped. Bernard (angel) suggested “Why don’t you just make the man a Humanoid.”

Shiva was exuberated at that idea. Vishnu replied “Bernard you have done it again, come by my office, tommorow3, you have deserved this millennia old bottle of Moet et Chandon.”

Sucellus (Celtic) however had a sudden change of emotion right then and there. “Two arms and legs are only theoretical for mortals Bernard.” Bernard, focusing on the champagne he will receive coolly said “Don’t sweat it; you’re the ruler of the universe.”

And so Zeus, went back to the drawing board, and drew the anatomy of a “man”. It definitely was not the most beautiful thing in the world, but it was a start. The after many fruitless attempts, Ra (Egyptian) choose the form of the young and universally agreed handsome boy named Channing who lived down the block. Anu (Mesopotamian) sat down next to Bernard and showed him the sketch. Bernard replied “It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, other than the Upton women I saw in the magazine a few days ago. And after this Jupiter walked to his large bedroom, and staggered to the bed and without much effort fell into the bed for about a trillisecond, before he fell through the other side completely refreshed in the form of Odin, and ready to begin new day of creation. Today, his plans were creating golf courses.
