The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
Close Reading: I loved reading this book. One of my favorite quotes was " so I draw because I want to talk to the world. .....I draw because I feel like it might be my only real chance to escape the reservation. I think the world is a series of broken dams and floods, and my cartoons are tiny little lifeboats." This quote is well written because it explains how Junior feels about his life. He knows that his life is rough but he has found his passion and he knows he can make his life better. The words make the quote so awesome by giving the reader a metaphor to better understand what Junior feels. The order of this quote introduces what Junior loves to do and then it explains what he feels inside.

Great job on your literary analysis, Ruthi!

I agree with what you’re saying! I really do think the way he phrases it/word choice really does help the reader be able to relate more! I also agree with you that this quote really does show how Junior feels about his life...Definitely shows he found a passion that will help him get through many obstacles he’ll later encounter in the memoir.
