Junior says that most people think the worst thing about being poor is being hungry. He acknowledges that sometimes, he and his family go upwards of 18 hours without eating because they don\u2019t have the money for food. But Junior always knows that eventually, one of his parents will come home with KFC. And KFC tastes even better when you\u2019re hungry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Junior sometimes wants to blame his parents for their poverty, but he knows he can\u2019t. He knows his family\u2019s poverty is not his parents\u2019 fault, and he knows they dreamed of more. But <strong>no one on the reservation realizes their dreams. They don\u2019t get the chance. They\u2019re too poor.<\/strong> And that creates a cycle that\u2019s hard to escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>First, you believe you\u2019re poor because you\u2019re stupid.<\/li><li>Then, you believe you\u2019re stupid because you\u2019re Indian.<\/li><li>Finally, because you\u2019re Indian, you believe you will always be poor, and the cycle repeats itself.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Poverty doesn\u2019t make you strong or perseverant. <strong>Poverty just \u201cteaches you how to be poor.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-early-fall\"><strong>Early Fall<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>What happens during early fall in <em>The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian<\/em> timeline? When his parents get home, Junior asks them, \u201cWho has the most hope?\u201d His parents look uneasily at each other, unsure of how to answer, but when Junior asks again, they say, at the same time, \u201cwhite people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Junior knew they\u2019d say that. Now he knows for sure where he and his hope need to go: to Reardan, the rich, redneck, racist farm town where the white kids go to school.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a kid on the rez, saying, \u201cI want to go to Reardan\u201d is like saying, \u201cI want to fly to the moon.\u201d No one leaves the reservation, certainly not to go to another school, and certainly not a white school. But Junior\u2019s parents put up little resistance. Even though Junior\u2019s dad once got pulled over in Reardan three times in one week for DWI (Driving While Indian), Junior\u2019s parents know Reardan is one of the best schools in the state. They suggest he wait until the following school year, but Junior insists that if he doesn\u2019t start the following day, he never will. Junior\u2019s parents agree. It\u2019s as if they\u2019ve been waiting for Junior to ask to go to Reardan. <strong>Like Mr. P, they see their son\u2019s potential and don\u2019t want him to end up drunk and impoverished like the rest of the Indians on the rez.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-late-fall\"><strong>Late Fall<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>What happens during late fall in <em>The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian<\/em> timeline? When Junior gets home the day he contradicts his geology teacher, he finds his mother crying. His sister has gotten married to a Flathead Indian she\u2019s just met at the casino and has moved to Montana. She didn\u2019t tell anyone she was going. She just called her mom from Montana to let her know she was married.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 1881, when the Spokane Reservation was founded, no one in Junior\u2019s family has left, and now Junior\u2019s parents have lost both their children to the \u201coutside world.\u201d Junior wonders if they feel like failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first, Junior is worried about his sister. But then he realizes that his sister is trying to live her dreams. She\u2019s living the romance novel she always wanted to write. This is a step up from isolating herself in the basement. The move proves to Junior that <strong>Mary\u2019s spirit hadn\u2019t died. She hasn\u2019t given up.<\/strong> It\u2019s a big deal for anyone to leave the rez, and Junior is proud of her. He also realizes that he\u2019d shamed her by leaving first. His bravery had inspired hers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-late-winter\"><strong>Late Winter<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In February, Eugene and his friend Bobby, both drunk, argue in a 7-Eleven parking lot over who gets the last sip of wine. Bobby shoots Eugene in the face, killing him. Once in jail (and sober), Bobby hangs himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Junior has no idea how to deal with his grief. He copes by reading lots of books and drawing lots of cartoons. He loses track of how many days of school he\u2019s missed\u2014fifteen, maybe twenty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Junior wonders why God would make his family suffer so much. He finds his answer in the Euripides play <em>Medea<\/em>, which Gordy has shown him. In it, the title character asks, <strong>\u201cWhat greater grief than the loss of one\u2019s native land?\u201d<\/strong> This hits a chord. Junior suddenly understands his family\u2019s grief and the suffering of his community on the rez: Indians have lost their native land. In fact, they\u2019ve lost everything: their languages, their dances, their songs, and their relationships with each other. <strong>The only way of life they know is \u201chow to lose and be lost.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Junior\u2019s so angry at this unfairness that he wants to kill God. He also thinks he\u2019s cursed his family and his tribe by leaving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wellpinit-the-absolutely-true-diary-of-a-part-time-indian\/\">Wellpinit<\/a> to go to school at Reardan. He blames himself for his grandmother\u2019s and Eugene\u2019s deaths, and he thinks about leaving Reardan for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spring-and-summer\"><strong>Spring and Summer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>What happens during spring and summer in <em>The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian<\/em> timeline? As the school year comes to a close, Junior and his parents go to the cemetery to clean the graves. Junior\u2019s mom tells him how proud she is of him, which is the greatest thing she could have said, as far as he\u2019s concerned. He understands that he can be happy while still missing his sister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Junior cries thinking about how amazing his sister was. <strong>She pursued her dreams. She never reached them, but it was the bravery of the attempt that mattered.<\/strong> Junior sees that, like his sister, he\u2019s also making the attempt, and it also might kill him, but staying on the rez also would have killed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Junior cries for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>His sister and her premature death<\/li><li>Himself and the fact that he\u2019s the only one who\u2019s been brave and arrogant enough to leave the rez and find a \u201cbetter life out in the white world\u201d<\/li><li>His tribe, many of whom will die in the coming year due to the effects of alcohol<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>But Junior\u2019s not alone in his grief, or his bravery. He\u2019s in the company of millions of Americans who\u2019ve \u201cleft their birthplaces in search of a dream.\u201d <strong>He\u2019s a member of the Spokane tribe, but he\u2019s also a member of many other tribes<\/strong>, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The basketball tribe<\/li><li>The bookworm tribe<\/li><li>The cartoonist tribe<\/li><li>The teenage-boy tribe<\/li><li>The poverty tribe<\/li><li>The funeral-goers tribe<\/li><li>The American immigrants tribe<\/li><li>The tortilla-chip-lovers tribe<\/li><li>The boys-who-miss-their-best-friends tribe<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding that his world is bigger than the Spokane and that he\u2019s a member of many different tribes, Junior knows that even through his grief, he\u2019s going to be okay. But he also worries about the people he loves who may not be okay, like Rowdy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian timeline?

She wrote her first short story at the age of six, about a lost dog who meets animal friends on his journey home. Surprisingly, it was never picked up by any major publishers, but did spark her passion for books. Carrie worked in book publishing for several years before getting an MFA in Creative Writing. She especially loves literary fiction, historical fiction, and social, cultural, and historical nonfiction that gets into the weeds of daily life.","url":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/author\/carrie\/"}]}},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/true-diary-timeline-true-diary-scaled.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14512"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14512\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":98948,"href":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14512\/revisions\/98948"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14635"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
