Absolute true diary of a part time Indian Respond with at least five sentences each.

1. Penelope has an eating disorder? What do you think is the cause of her bulimia? Does Alexie (the author) represent it fairly?

2. Gordy does some research and concludes that “people care more about beautiful white girls than they do about everybody else on the planet.” Is this true?
3. Junior says that he and Penelope are using each other. What does he mean by this? Do you think it’s true?
4. “Life is a constant struggle between being an individual and being a member of the community.” Explain how the text expresses that theme. Use examples from the text.
5. How are white fathers different from fathers on the reservation? Why are they different?
6. How do you feel about the abuse Arnold received when he played in the basketball game on the reservation and his reaction to that abuse? How you feel about the way the adults responded?
7. Junior’s grandmother’s last words were to ask that everyone forgive the drunk driver who killed her. Do you think this is a beautiful act of compassion that should be repeated, or is it a weak response to an irresponsible killer who took an innocent life?

1. The cause of Penelope's bulimia is most likely caused by overly-enjoying food. It could also be from being bored. The author is (your opinion). Penelope should be supervised by her parents or have them make her food. Penelope may be able to overcome this.

2. This question I would have to read the story to know.

3. Junior probably means that they tell each other to do things they don't want to do. Another possible theory is that they rely on each other. Without each other they feel they may not be able to (example).

4. This question I would have to read the story to know.

5. This question I would have to read the story to know.

6. This question I would have to read the story to know.

7. I think this was an act of compassion because she might've known the driver or was doing it to save himself and she understood him. He also could've done it as some act of compassion as well. He might've been trying to save her from someone else, and lied that he was drunken. There are many possible reasons to let him off. Maybe we just see the worst side of people.

Thank you that took forever but hopefully worth it. Sorry that I couldn't respond to some. Maybe if you put a link to the story I could've done it. Good luck!

the future of her and bobby

the autor of the text is bringing the point that one achievment of the president john f. kennedy was a success and this caused the next president to use a similar idea. the purposefor the use of the quotation in the text is to support the idea that peace corps was a result of the president's call. in this case, the quotation is presented as part of the writing and does not stand on its own.
