Dear David

Dear David,

There's this book you really need to read. It's called The absolutely true diary of a part-time Indian, by Sherman Alexie. It's about this boy, named Arnold, who's Native American, and lives on a reservation, and wants a better life for himself, but upon trying to achieve that better life, he comes across all these different obstacles. Even though this kid faces some really tough things in life, he's able to overcome them, because of the way he chooses to respond to them. Arnold is able to overcome the impossible, and would be a great role model for other kids his age. Like you.
     Like Arnold, you've been through some really tough times in your life, and at such a young age. But I want to encourage you to read this book. It might be a great help to you, in terms of trying to figure out how to deal with all these tough things. Arnold's a lot like you, so In a way, you might even connect with him. Just read the book. You'll like it.
