This family has so many problems. The father a drunk who leaves for weeks at a time and and former alcoholic mom who is distant and kind of abusive.]]> 2018-01-09 13:43:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kdevaughn20/vysaxzklj18y/wish/219715900 kdevaughn20 https://padlet.com/kdevaughn20/vysaxzklj18y/wish/219720549 I really like how Sherman Alexie is so open about his life as a child. constantly looking for his dad when he is on drinking binges. and dealing with the fact that he is not his dads child and his real dad is a rapist. I feel like the most interesting thing abou the Sherman is his bluntness and how he makes bad situations funny.]]> 2018-01-09 13:53:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kdevaughn20/vysaxzklj18y/wish/219720549 kdevaughn20 https://padlet.com/kdevaughn20/vysaxzklj18y/wish/219732751 The picture on the cover is of Sherman and his late mother Lilian. I think it represents a happy time with his mom because there were not a lot of them.]]> 2018-01-09 14:14:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kdevaughn20/vysaxzklj18y/wish/219732751 kdevaughn20 https://padlet.com/kdevaughn20/vysaxzklj18y/wish/220006924 ¨My mother was a liar. She broke many promises over the coming decades. But she kept that greatest vows. She was sober for the rest of her life, and that´s why I am alive.¨ Pg19 I like how his mother vowed to her kids that she would never drink again for their well being.
¨I can put my mom in a fancy place by the little Spokane River.¨pg21 I feel like once his mother got elderly he wanted to have everything she wanted in a senor citizen home.
¨ I joke  that I could be blindfolded in a room filled with strangers an I´d still be able to sniff out people who have the same mental, emotional and physical ailments as I do.pg 148 ]]> 2018-01-09 23:30:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kdevaughn20/vysaxzklj18y/wish/220006924 kdevaughn20 https://padlet.com/kdevaughn20/vysaxzklj18y/wish/220009736 I really would try to recommend this book to people our age or older because of the intense language and content. However this is a very good book to read and in some spots its funny. Sometimes the book drags on but once it picks up its very interesting.]]> 2018-01-10 00:03:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kdevaughn20/vysaxzklj18y/wish/220009736 kdevaughn20 https://padlet.com/kdevaughn20/vysaxzklj18y/wish/220011560 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cEyzlphegg 
I picked this song because Sherman´s father was a drunk who would abandon his family for days and weeks at a time.]]> 2018-01-10 00:28:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kdevaughn20/vysaxzklj18y/wish/220011560
