The absolutely true diary of a part-time Indian by Sherman Alexie is about a boy on a Indian Reservation. Jr and his family seen a lot of death, he was picked on in school, he had a best friend name rowdy. In this book there were negative and positive things that happened a lot to Indians.
On the reservation Most of the negative things happened because of drinking. Native Americans had problems drinking. A lot of deaths happened within years. Some Indians didn't treat each other nice like his own people killing each other.They killed each other by drinkin and driving and shooting each other while drinking. Those were the negative thing's that happened in Jr's.
The positive things Jr's and his tribe do Is go to Pow Wows, They go to family funerals and support but most of them are usually drunk.Like when jrs sister died he didn't want to be there because of that.The parents go to there sons basketball games.when jr played out of the rez. it was a positive thing that he went to another school because he wanted to step his game up.
I think the reason why Native American struggle is because they don't have much money, liven in a reservation is hard for them.They never got to explore out of the reservation.The Native American where strees cuz of money, so they spent it on booze.
