Right now I am on page 54 of Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. So far I have gotten to know the characters and setting. The main character, Junior, is a smart fourteen year old that was born with fluid on his brain. He lives with his father that is a drunk and mother who was a drunk. His sister is unpredictable, so they call her Mary Run Away. Rowdy is his best friend. He is tough and strong. He is also abused by his parents. Rowdy protects Junior from other bullies.
One day Junior's teacher,Mr. P, goes to Junior's house and explains that he should leave the indian reserve. He says that all hopes and dreams are crushed here. Junior takes that information and decides to go to a school that is smarter and has hope. This school has no indians. Junior goes tell his best friend and Rowdy gets angry. Rowdy sheds a tear and then punches Junior. He has never hit Junior before. Then Junior narrates that his best friend just became his enemy.
I liked how you made your summary as concise as possible. I also like how Junior tries to keep his head high at school because he is the only Indian.
