Coming of Age

In the book "The Absolutely True Story of a Part-Time Indian" Junior (the main character) is soon now attending his first year of high school. Junior has a lot of conditions/ disabilities that make him different, and more of a responsibility compare to what would be considered as a normal family. He is now at the age where other people shouldn't have to take care of him. since he is a young man he need to take the initiatives and stand up for himself as appose to letting people take advantage of him.

 

He has now reached the age where he is learning new things about himself, his family and his life in general. I can personally relate to this because I'm reaching a point and time where I am be held accountable for more and more things, and my level of responsibility has been increasing numerously.

These are majority of the "coming of age details that stand out me in th ebook that I am reading.
