According to the critic Yann Martel ?You most take life the way it is and make the best of it? .This idea is clearly evident as illustrated in the Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Ellen Forney. And also in the book of Diary of Anne Frank. In Ellen Forney?s book there was in Indian boy named Junior hi behavior illustrates the truth of the critic statement. Junior struggle allot with his family problem and even though people was treating him very bad he still try to make the best of it. And also in the book of Diary of Anne Frank .Anne and her family was scared of getting killed so they had to go in hiding even when they was in hiding and also they was scared Anne always try to have fun and act like everything was good .And always think positive. It shows that even if Junior is not happy about his life he always tries to make the best out of it. Also just because Anne is not happy about his life doesn?t mean that she can?t try to be happy. The absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time India and also Anne Frank show the truth the idea that you most take life the way it is and make the best out of it. This statement is totally true because the two books that I mention in the previous paragraph show it.
