The Absolute True Diary Of A Part-time Indian- Chapter 1

 A young boy that lives on the Spokane Reservation, with the name Arnold Spirit Jr but known as "Junior" has had life struggles ever since he was a baby. He was born with too much water around his brain and as he explained it, they used a vacuum to take out the water. When he was 6 months old he went through surgery and he said he was not supposed to live but he did. He has a poor family and was very happy when his parents would get home with Kentucky fried chicken. Arnold had gotten picked on a lot and always got black eyes. He had a stutter and a lisp, when he was seven and eight it didn't matter, but when he became nine and ten it grew to be old. When he was fourteen he was known as a "retard" and to avoid the bullies so he wouldn't get beaten he would stay in his room to read books.
