Sherman Alexie’s novel The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian is based on his own experiences growing up. Like Junior, Alexie switched school’s after seeing his mother’s name written in a textbook and realized the inequity between his reservation school and the “white” school 20 miles away. Many of your reading questions this week focus on Junior’s struggle with conflicting lives or identities. This conflict is similar to what we talked about last week in terms of Treuer’s concept of the borderland. Take your definition of borderland from last week’s discussion post and use it to describe Junior’s struggle between two cultures. Cite at least one specific example in Alexie’s novel that you feel best illustrates the idea of the borderland. Your post must consist of at least one fully developed paragraph
