Reading Response

So far I have read 160 pages of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian and every time I read it I do not want to put it down. I enjoy reading about Junior AKA Arnold's adventures at Rearden and I think that the book holds a lot of important life lessons. As an example, Arnold is afraid to tell his new friends that he is poor, but when they eventually found out they didn't care and they wanted to support and help him in any way that they could.

 I think that acceptance and kindness are something that most people have and that it is important to share with the people that we care about because most likely they will want to help us and will not judge us for the truth. Arnold has a hard life at home and he does not exactly have the "perfect" life. But he does have people who love and care about him.
