i gave a student that i am trying intervene with my copy of Sherman Alexie's "The Lone Ranger, Tonto Fist Fight in Heaven".
he is this sophomore, stoner, intelligent, politically minded student with a heavy Indian background.
he took the book, started reading it that day. right before lunch, he stopped in my room and was telling me about it, he was so excited and talking so fast i couldnt understand what he was saying.
next day, i notice he carries it with him everywhere he goes. i see his parents for Parent/Teacher conference and i tell them "i gave him this book, i dont know if you have seen him with it..."
his mom interrupts me and says, "he called me right away to tell me about it."
