Don't Give Up

Author's Note: I have been reading The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian and this is my favorite saying, "Don’t give up."

Junior may not look the best but he has better sense than some. This is the most important thing he says in the entire story. It may seem small but it has much more meaning. It reminds you that there is hope, that things will get better soon. 

In the story it helps people.  It brings Penelope hope, and gives Junior trust.  It changes my almost my entire prediction for the story.  The saying don't give up may be used again later on; changing even more outcomes than I would have thought.

It has the ability to effect more than just the story. It pulls people through tragic times and helps keep their sense when its over. Many people have told me don’t give up, and it worked. I ended up giving that person even more respect than before because they dared to help me.  In my life don’t give up is the most important thing you could say.
