A Review on the Book " The Absolutely True Diary of a Part - Time Indian by Sherman Alexie

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part - Time Indian is a young adult novel by Sherman Alexie. Its main character is Junior who born with water on the brain and an Indian living on a reservation. In the book, Junior narrates his story, on how he was bullied, persuaded by his teacher to transfer school, fitted in in his new all-white school, and struggled to bring back the trust of his best friend.

This book was fun to read because of the way the writer delivered the story and accompanied by adorable illustrations. I was really hooked of Junior's life, his culture, lifestyle, thoughts and decision in life. Honestly, I am impressed by him, that no matter how bad the situation is, he still have a positive outlook and continued his life without delving in the past. He proved that no matter how disabled, unskilled, poor, and unlikable you are, you can still make the best out of life.

I really relate to Junior because I am too, is raise in and now struggling in poverty, but still I fight, I write, and do what I can to elavate my status. Like him, I won't let myself get stuck in poverty and depression, like all my ancestors did. I will break the chain.

In this book, I got the chance to have a glimpse on a culture that I was never introduced. I adores all the characters and if they are all real, I wish them all the best. The narration was amazing and a great book for all ages to read.

Reflecting on the Indolence of the Filipinos by Dr. Jose Rizal

Reflecting on the Indolence of the Filipinos by Dr. Jose Rizal After reading Rizal's essay, I don't believe indolence is a hereditary trait among Filipinos. According to Rizal's statement," Indolence in the Philippines is a chronic malady but not a hereditary one." He supported it with many reasons that I absolutely agree with. He stated that, "We must confess that indolence does actually and positively exist there; only that, instead of holding it to be the cause of the backwardness and the trouble, we regard it as the effect of the trouble and the backwardness". For me as a reader, he wanted to state that indolence is not the cause of mishaps, but bad circumstances can cause a person to be indolent. Among his reasons were the climate of the Philippines, the piratical attacks, the negligence of the Spaniards, forced labor and abuse of the Spaniards, gambling, the influence of the church, and the crooked educational system of the Spaniards. ...

Self is an Accumulated Learning

There came a point in our lives where we asked ourselves, "Who are we?" and failed to fully know ourselves. This leads us to make bad decisions and have failed relationships with others. As humans, it is critical to understand ourselves as we grow into the people we want to be. The self is a repository of knowledge.It is the idea that all of a person's knowledge from childhood to the present defines him.The knowledge a person gains from his environment as he grows up is important in defining him.As such, everything that is learned from family, school, neighborhood, and society will have an impact on a person. What a person sees or hears is processed by the mind and learned as a result, and it sometimes becomes mindlessly a part of that person.These beliefs, teachings, values, and knowledge instilled in a person's mind will define that person because they are the foundation built in him. For instance, a person who was born into ...

The House in the Cerulean Sea Review

The House in the Cerulean Sea is a wonderful wholesome book written by Tj Klune, a brilliant writer. The story started with Mr. Linus Baker, who is a casewoker of DICOMY or Department in Charge of Magical Youth. He was tasked of a very classified assignment. To go stay for a whole month in an orphanage and observe 6 "problematic" children and the house master Arthur Parnassus. He was unprepared and shocked but what could go wrong in an orphanage full of classified persons. They are just children, right? This book was what I needed. It was a light read, great storytelling, wonderful use of words, and something that touched my heart. It brings me back to being a child. It was nostalgic and refreshing. I recommend it to people who want a short escape.
