“We all have pain. And we all look for ways to make the pain go away.” Sherman Alexie describes his pain and how he deals with it in his own unique way, in his book, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. While reading this book, it really opened my eyes up to how much pain and suffering some people go through. I, personally, have been lucky and have never had to experience a death of anyone in my immediate family so I have a hard time relating to this pain. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian helps me understand a little bit of what this type of pain is truly like. I felt bad for this kid, I could tell that he was really hurting and I kind of hurt alongside him.
