Sherman Alexie's The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian tells the story of Junior, a Native American who is trying to find a way to accept his culture and mold it with his new white classmates. The book is written like the reader is getting to look at Junior’s diary so one really feels attached because diaries are a very personal thing. Junior’s life is biased off of real events that happened in Sherman Alexie’s life. This book will fit in most Social Studies units regarding Native Americans trying to adjust to the life style forced upon them by the white man. It also is able to help students find where they fit in as an individual in society.
