BANNED: The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

"Absolute diary of part-time Indians" announced in 2007 conveys the story of a 14-year-old boy who grew up in the Spokane Indian Settlement. A mile many miles away, a white school. Several of Sherman Alexei's autobiographical novels led the reader through his childhood year-long illustration. And I recorded his experience as the only Indian at a new school (except for school mascots). Details of his everyday life are revealed - from the bullying to the popular girls, to the crack of his booking with his best friend. Junior also writes about the tragic impact of alcoholism, including the death of some families.

This adult novel is often taught in high school and high school and is an important part of the banned books and challenge books of the American Library Association. The "excerpt of masturbation" and "vulgar racist and anti-christian content" were attacked. Others claim that the book "encourages pornography".

Lynn Frick is a high school English teacher in Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin. In 2016, she taught a part-time Indian absolute real diary in a freshman class that was challenged by some parents in the school district. After all, the Board of Education voted for approving to leave the book in the course. American experience and flick talked about teaching

For me, this is a book about flexibility, the power of education, and the power of the community. This is one of the things I always believed: education is a way out of the problem. This is shown beautifully in "Real Diary", I hope the information there is loud and clear

I also hope that the students have cases - this is the elastic appearance. It was beaten by society and struck by so-called friends and community people. But you stand up and you try again and again. This is the two main reasons children hope to read this book.

Many of the novels included in banned books and challenge books are what we call "adult" novels. Why do you think so?

When we teach novels including sex and gender, I think there are really many problems, and it is difficult for parents to work hard in order to solve them. Then the school secretly invaded the problem. However, I think that the reason why these books can be eaten by children is that they are related to the theme and can understand some of the emotions that the character feels. This all resonates with them

Since the challenge of a book always happens, it jumps out of the shelf. So the kids read it and hand it over to other children to read. My parents are reading it. Various book clubs are reading it. When it happens to the general knowledge of the school, the teacher pulls the book out of the shelf to read itself. That has this grounds. Overall, this book is very popular with my students.
