a sense of accomplishment

So guess what! I finally finished...

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by;Alexie, Sherman
I thought that the book as a whole was really well written, and I'm not talking about the vocabulary! Sherman uses simple words to describe a very difficult boys story. I really like this book because so many things that people can relate to it. Just think about it for a minute or two and see if you come up with the same things I did. Ready, set, go!!

1. being a minority
2. a boy from a poor family
3. both parents are alcoholics
4. having a health problem
5.speech problems
6. being a new kid at school
7. have a falling out with your best friend
8. having a sibling die
9. losing a grandparent
10. new girlfriend/boyfriend
11. trying to fit in
12.being picked on
13. overcoming your fears
14. making a better life for yourself
15.... and finally the last one that I could think of
following your dreams and making them a reality

this was my list of ways that people could relate to if they chose to read this book.
Now lets see what you come up with!!
