When I get bored in the library, I like to walk around the shelves. I love exploring different books and starting out with no idea about them. The exterior of this book was like a very sweet children's book at our library. When I looked inside, I saw lots of "cartoon" drawings and I bought the book without ever reading it. Although the

I think all of us are always five years old in the presence and absence of our parents.

5/5 Stars (%97/100) I was more or less familiar with the style of the writer, which is satiric, humorous and very effective. This is apparently his most famous book and I had to read for one of my classes. I didn't have a lot of knowledge about the book before I started it, so it helped me like it even more. The story revolves around a Spokane Indian named Junior who lives in a reservation. Junior is dissatisfied with his life in the reservation and decides to leave and live with "them whites." The author brilliantly portrays the harsh lifestyle of the Indians through the perspective of Junior who is 14 years old. Though he is very young, Junior is very smart and mature. He has a lot of problems in life not only because of his origin but also health problems. He thrives to survive in two worlds; Indian and White. I really enjoyed the book. It is definitely a page-turner. The language is very smooth and easy to understand. It is extremely humorous and satiric. Even when the author is talking about the death of a person, it still manages to put a smile on your face. It is sometimes tragic but also has comedic elements. The book is autobiographical and fictionalizes Alexie's own life.

And what's more, our white dentist believed that Indians only felt half as much pain as white people did, so he only gave us half the Novocain.

If you speak and write in English, or Spanish, or Chinese, or any other language, then only a certain percentage of human beings will get your meaning. But when you draw a picture, everybody can understand it.
So I draw because I feel like it might be my only real way chance to escape the reservation.
But I can't blame my parents for our poverty because my mother and father are the twin suns around which I orbit and my world would EXPLODE without them.

But we reservation Indians don't get to realize our dreams. We don't get those chances. Or choices. We're just poor. That's all we are.
It sucks to be poor, and it sucks to feel that you somehow deserve to be poor.
So I heard the boom of my father's rifle when he shot my best friend. A bullet only costs about two cents, and anybody can afford that.
So I draw cartoons to make him happy, to give him other worlds to live inside. I draw his dreams.
