"carries of the dream wheel"

This is the wheel of dreams
which is carried out on their voices,
By means of which their voices turn
and center upon being.
it encircles the fast world.
The powerful wheel.
They shape their songs upon the wheel
And spin the names on the earth and sky,
The aboriginal names.
They are old men, or men
who are old in their voices.
And they carry the wheel among the camps
saying:come,come,
let us tell the old stories
let us sing sacred songs.

this poem is like a dream wheel And in the Absolutely true diary of a part time Indian Arnold has many dreams about the this he wants and the thing he really wants.

book summary

The book was good it started out with this kid named Arnold and he's a Native American that lives on a reservation with his family. He went to a school on the reservation and he was all excited about going back to school until he gets his geometry book and sees his moms name in it then he throws it at his teacher and the book slams the teacher into the face. But his teacher wasn't mad at him he just told Arnold to leave the reservation so that he can have a better life ten anybody else in the reservation has. So he goes to a different school. The schools named is Reardon and it's all whites but at first no one liked him but After a while the whites get to like him and he makes lots of friends. But he likes this girl named penelope he had a huge crush on her and they became good friends. But there is a couple sad spots in the book. like there is one part were is grandmother get run over by a drunk driver. Then a friend of the family gets shot over a bottle of rum. Then his older sis die in a fire.

But after all that he dose fine. He beats his best friend rowdy in basketball.

I think it's a great book. it's so cool how he draws some stuff out like the book smashing into his teachers face that was just hilarious. it's a great book and i really recomened it to anyone.
