Sherman Alexie and Junior have a lot in common. I was shocked when I was reading his biography. Alexie much like the character junior was a Spokane who lived on a reservation in Wellpinit. He also freaked out when he saw his mom's name in his math book but, unlike Junior he did not throw the book at his math teacher. When he discovered that he was not getting as good education at his current high school he decided to go to a school in Reardan. At his new school he was the only Indian. In the end Sherman Alexie went to college at Washington state University and graduated to become a writer.
