Through the trials of life we’re all just trying to answer one question: Who am I?
Arnold tackles that exact question in The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. For the sake of self-discovery, Arnold goes against the wishes of his community, he puts himself in a brand new territory and does things that he wouldn’t have at Wellpinit. He pretends to be someone he isn’t, but eventually we know who Arnold really is, and how he preserves himself in his mad world.
In The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian we see Arnold develop into a person. More than a silly character, or a timid teenage boy, Arnold becomes a fully three-dimensional human. He’s an artist who uses his cartoons to cope (6). He is a spokane Indian
