Journal

Im currently reading the book flight which is written by Sherman Alexie, its about a half indian half irish boy who was left by his father at birth and his mother died when he was the age of 5 meanwhile hes been getting thrown in and out of foster homes each one with a story like the last each one getting a bit worse and eventually he just stops caring and angers the foster parents for fun and in his most recent case he refuses to say good morning to first the mother than the father which agitates them and then he ends up running out n pushing the mother outta the way so when he finally is on the outside he is picked up by a cop in which he knows well, David the cop who busts him all the time, and so when he is in juvinile jail he meets a boy named justice, falls under the admiration of justice and they beginin to shoot people with paintball guns just to scare them, eventually justice talks him into shooting up a bank and after doing so he wakes up he becomes a man named hank or rather he is in hanks body, hank is an FBI agent in1975 in a huge case who ends up shooting a boy named jimmy, but as soon as he pulls the trigger n opens his eyes hes in the body of an indian boy about the age of twelve and he finds that he has no vocals and he does not understand what the natives are speaking he thinks he may be in heaven but he finds that he is there just as custers last stand and in which he sees the hate of the indian people and experiances how horrible indians could be as well, and while he refuses to cut up the soldier his body's father had chosen for him he closes his eyes and turns up in the body of an old man raiding an indian camp that turns out to be more of a slaughter than a battle and in which he protects a young man and who was saving a small indian child but his older body can not keep up and ends up just as he was about to be caught n killed he turns up in his origional body and finds that he is there moments before he kills all of the people in the bank and so he decides its not worth it and then heads to dave the cop and tells him that he has guns and he is brought into custody and the judge watches the tape of him at the bank sees him feel for the guns in his coat and then for a moment on the tape he disappears all together. that is as far as i have read.
