We have begun the first rotation of reading the book "The absolutely true diary of a part time Indian" by Sherman Alexie. The book is about this kid, called Arnold, who lives on the Indian reservation in a town called Wellpinit. He decides that he is not getting enough freedom on the rez, and goes off to a new school, where exclusively white and rich people go. This is a huge struggle for him. Not much happens in this section of the book, as it is mostly an introduction for the events to come.
So far, we have come up to the part where he finally decides to go to his new school, after a teacher on the reservation tells him to go where hope is. Arnold leaves behind his best friend and all he holds dear to secure his happiness and his future. He beats up Roger, a boy in Reardan school who is very large and intimidating, after he does so, he gains respect, and fits into the school rather nicely. This has been it for now.
