He has written over 100 books for children and adults. Joseph writes mostly about Indians. The books are mostly Indian because he is Indian and especially in ‘Code Talker’ the main character Ned is faced with tons of challenges, and he overcomes them. I believe that Joseph Bruchac faced these struggles growing up or as an adult. He is a very strong writer and lets you feel what the character is feeling.

I think he is influenced by this because anyone who has gone through

The bad memories of the previous battles creep up on Ned, but he fights those memories with the help of his family’s prayers. Remembering back on Bougainville many of the marines begin to drink heavily, because of the bad effects it had on them.

She is constantly ridiculed for her looks by society, but because of this, she does not need much to produce astounding results.
