reservation schools to teach creative writing, but some students refuse to learn. But Alexie knows that to give
up on them is to give up on his people.

B Because Sherman Alexie’s dad set such a good example as a reader and a learner, Alexie learned to read at
an early age. Alexie was able to withstand the ridicule of bullies because he was so determined to be like his
father. Although his father never had the opportunities of education that Alexie enjoyed, he was proud of his
son’s accomplishments as a writer and a teacher.

C Although Sherman Alexie had been a successful writer for many years, his primary accomplishment was
returning to his people to challenge gifted students who wanted to become writers themselves and to engage
reluctant students who did not want anything to do with school learn how to read and to write.

can accomplish with little support. Sherman Alexie’s desire to give back to his community is an inspiration to us
all.
