In the book The absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian which in the author is Sherman Alexie,Junior is the protagonist as he is  presented as an outsider in many different ways,such as when he went to Reardan school (a white school) in this occasion he’s presented as an outsider as he is the only Native American (Indian) in the school and he’s also poor.But in Wellpinit he is an outsider as people think of him as a kid that wants to be white or consider as a white kid.But Junior left because he wanted a better education to have a brighter future because in Wellpinit he was not learning a lot and he had very low chances to go university and he wants to be a comic author as he is a good writer this can be shown as he is inspired by his best friend Rowdy who loves his books.

Junior is also considered as an outsider when he say people in the reservation used to call him a “globe head” this means he has a big round head and people make fun of him for his physical problem this show he is an outsider but this is not his only problem another example is that he had ten more teeth than a normal person so a white dentist because he couldn’t really chew anything had to take them out.Another physical problem that makes him an outsider is that he has water in his brain which is not normal at all but no one really knows about this and describes himself as a weirdo because of this.In Junior’s first day in school when he says that the white people in the school looked at him like some kind of UFO or a bigfoot this shows white people looked at him like a mythical creature this is because he is the only Indian person in the whole school this makes him an outsider.
