For this assignment, the present theme of poverty vs. Privilege in the book “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” would be evaluated. I need you to create a thesis and support it with a minimum of five paragraphs, including introduction and conclusion. Writing Prompt: Throughout our story, we see the constant juxtaposition of poor versus rich, “Indian” (as Junior refers to himself and others on the Spokane Reservation) versus white, and little hope versus enormous (perceived) hope. When Arnold makes the decision to attend Reardan, he does everything he can to keep the truth of his family’s poverty hidden from his “privileged” classmates in a number of way. However, he is later surprised to find that many of the white students experience “problems of privilege” and are far from perfect themselves. Consider this to help create a thesis that focuses on how privilege doesn’t not always mean a perfect life. Use examples of positive aspects of the reservation to show contrast to how rich does not always mean “better off.”
