Paragraph of Setting in the Novel:

The novel, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, is a story that follows a native boy named junior through his life of school. Junior has a lot of mental and physical disabilities that make the story unique, and the setting of this novel is extremely poor and pretty run down. It is not an ideal place to live. the people who live their struggle with substance abuse and anger issues. it is an incredibly sad place where native people are stripped of their culture by white people and even the school system. There is no hope on the “Rez” it is a place where the government could hide people off the radar. It is a place of lost culture and broken people. there is only one road that connects to anywhere else, and they are all alone to do whatever they want until they lose themselves. To outsiders it looks like a fine and normal Indian Reservation, but the truth is much different. This poverty ridden “Rez” is everything but normal. The physical setting for Junior travels through his reservation to his high school and they are quite different as the story goes on. Juniors school life used to be full of pain and horrible memories but when he switches schools and goes to Reardan high school he experiences the same schooling and treatment as white kids. (well, more or less). But even though he could have a wonderful day at his amazing school he still has to go home to his drunken parents and abusive tribe members.
