WEEK 15 DISCUSSION QUESTION FOR "THE ABSOLUTELY TRUE DIARY OF A PART-TIME INDIAN":

Why does Junior like to draw cartoons? How does he benefit from drawing cartoons? Do cartoons help him with his life? In what ways might he outgrow cartoons eventually?

This is an opinion question. There is no right or wrong answer, but please support your answer by making references to the book. Your response should be a minimum of five sentences.

Taelornisbeth | 5 comments Junior likes to draw because it helps him express his feelings. How it benefits him is that his ex-best friend
Rowdy would look through it and love it. Also one day he can maybe major in it.I don't think it helps him with his life, I just think it's a hobby of his.He might outgrow drawing cartoons because he might run out of things to draw. And he might major in something else!!

Charmine | 2 comments the reason why i think juniour like to draw cartoons because it probably helps him understand like what he is drawing and like pictures of his sister and his girlfriends and teachers.

Nashawn Hudson | 4 comments I think Junior likes to draw cartoon because it's the only thing that helps him forget whats happening, whats about to happen, and what happened.


message 7: by Victoria (new)

Victoria | 7 comments He draws to escape the pressures of daily life and he has compleat control over what's happening in the cartoon. He is just a kid and cannot control the book of life just continue reading faster or slower but you will reach the end but in cartoon the good times never have to end of the last page and the bad things don't even have to have a page to start on. I don't think Jr. will ever out grow cartoons but maybe draw less when he is married and has more control over things but he may go back to drawing to stop the things and preserve the good moments as they go by. He may continue drawing to wallow in the brook of good kind memories before something uncontrolable like death happens and takes something good away. I think Jr. will always draw to escape some of the mean teasing that comes with his dissabilities.

Dariq Wigfall | 7 comments Junior draws cartoons because he wante to be a cartoonist and like his sister he like drawing. He benefit from drawing because , insted of running around the rez getting into trouble he keeping his self active drawing. Yeah cartoons help him express his self on how he feels on something in his life. He might get tired of it for people like penolpe or for something better , like basket ball because he made the team , so he might practing so much that he might not draw no more

Freddyventura | 5 comments junior draws cartoons carekters to clear his mind and also the only reson he does this is because he is good at it also he can draw whatever he wants to and no won can say anything.


message 11: by Joseph (new)

Joseph | 5 comments Junoir realy sets a mood when he draws you can realy get a image of what he thinks. Hes drawing are like a different thought of whats going on around him.


message 12: by Arly (new)

Arly Castellanos | 16 comments Perhaps Junior likes to draw cartoons because he found a way to express himself. The same way people write a story or why people play music is to get out his feelings. I don't think Junior will ever outgrow drawing. He is a cartoonist and a cartoonist he shall be. Even the greatest cartoonists came across some trouble and so will Junior.

Danasia Martin | 8 comments junior takes his drawing very serious so yes i do think he will continue to draw in life maybe become professional.
