This was the first rotation of the literature circle for The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian written by Sherman Alexie. This time I was the Literary Luminary.
The first paragraph I chose was on page 5. This paragraph talked about how he liked to draw cartoons because words were too unpredictable. This was quite a deep part of the book. It meant that he didn't trust words to convey his message as they weren't universal and the cartoons were.
The second paragraph I chose was on page 13. This paragraph was chosen because the harsh truth of life in poverty. It was an extremely sad part of the book especially how he couldn't help his dog just because he is poor.
The third paragraph I chose to talk about was on page 53. This paragraph that was chosen talked about Rowdy and Junior's friendship ruined. This was very sad as well because friendship is a thing to treasure and they are usually strong unlike this one, but the special thing about this friendship despite being a fragile one it was important and possible the only good thing that happened to Junior in a long time.
The fourth paragraph was on page 64. This paragraph was about 1 or 2 sentences only and it was none other than one of the most racist things in the book. It was a racist joke about native Americans.
The fifth and the last paragraph was on page 81 and it talked about how Rowdy and Junior might just be enemies instead of good friends that they had been almost all their lives that they lived through so far. Rowdy who was Junior's guardian will now be after his life.
This is it for now. New information will be posted on our next meeting on May 6th.
