Convinving a Young Person to Read Alexie's Novel

A lot of young people in this world now a days really don't like to read books and think that it's a really boring thing to do. There used to be a time in my life where I didn't like reading books either and thought that it was boring. Later on I realized that not all books are boring and a lot of them are very interesting to read. Another thing people think is that if the book has a boring title or cover that the whole book is boring and that is not true. The book The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian might not sound like the most interesting book or might not have the most interesting cover but don't be fooled by that. One of the things I learned in school was don't judge a book by it's cover and especially not this book. This book is actually one of the most interesting books I have read in a very long time. This book is really easy to read and this is one of those books were once you start reading it you don't want to stop. Even though not a lot of us are Indians anyone can relate themselves to this book because it is about a young Native American boy who goes through a lot.

This book is based on a character named Arnold Spirit, who is a young boy that goes through a lot in his life and who really does not have the best life. A lot of young boys and girls can relate to this because this is something that a lot of young people go through. Arnold is a kid who grew up in a household that wasn't a rich household. He and he's family struggle a lot to live because at times they don't have food or anything to eat. Arnold is a kid who is always left out of everything and always was the laughing stock of everything. People always picked on him because they knew he wouldn't do anything back. He goes through what a lot of high school students might go through and trust me that is probably not a fun thing to go through. Arnold was a kid who even though he knew ha had a hard life he never gave up and he knew he could do something with his life. One of the god things about Arnold is that he never gives up and is willing to take the challenge. So he decides to go to a new school with all white rich kids and no Native Americans. because he knew he had to get away in order to be successful. He actually has a better experience in his new school then you would think. Overall he actually ends up having a nice school life despite all these obstacles he has to face. So if your going through this same situation you should try reading this book because trust me this book does a nice job of grabbing the readers attention. Just remember never to give up  o matter what kind of challenges you face because if you keep trying hard you will soon have your success.
