themes

Themes are a book because most of the text refers to the them. If the theme is romance than the book is going to be about romance. There are tones of themes to pick from, love, they can be in a certain timeline, or they can be leaving a place for hope, just like in the book "the absolute true diary of a part time Indian."

In the book, the main character junior attends an all native American school and gets picked on for his problems that he was born with. Everything changes when his teacher tells him that there is no hope at the reservation that he lives on and if he wants a bright future he needs to leave.

Junior does leave and starts to attend an all white school, but the problems don't stop. Junior starts to lose all his friends and has a hard time making new friends. But he still looks forward to the future he dreams of. By going to this school he has a better chance of getting to collage and getting a successful carrier.

The hope junior is looking for is also the same hope his sister was looking for, only things didn't work out for her. juniors sister went to a casino and met a man she married, and then left the reservation very quickly. after she got settled in, she had a party witch lead to a house fire, killing her and her husband.
In the end, his hope of finding a carrier turns up. His report card comes with great grades. His old best friend becomes his friend again and they hang out like they use too. When he tried out for basket ball he had a great time and performed well.
