Question

According to "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian," how do other people's

perceptions of Junior impact his own sense of identity? Meaning, how does how other people
view him impact how he views himself? *

Answer 1

He hides his true self, and conforms to become like them

Step-by-step explanation:

In the book, we see after Junior goes to the other school, he sees how the people there are better off. He tries to hide the fact that he is poor, or that he comes from a semi-broken family. We see near the end, that he goes to Denny's knowing he won't have enough money, but still treats his girlfriend, because he doesn't want to look poor, even though he eventually has to borrow money to cover the tab.
