The narrator from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat", by deciding to plea "not guilty due to insanity", is doing something many people charged with murder do: blaming their own acts on a certain "demonic" mindset, which can be caused by evil spirits or even drugs (legal or illegal). The narrator has a history of alcohol abuse, which, according to his own testimony throughout the short story, led him to cut one of his cat's eyes out of its socket. He'd also been violent to his wife, not only verbally, and said he'd committed violent acts precisely because of their malignant essence. This man is no good. Therefore, there's no point in validating his plea of "not guilty due to insanity" and he should indeed be charged with murder. After all, he killed his wife with the strike of an axe upon her head, just because she wanted to stop him from killing their cat. As the narrator admits, he was then possessed by unstoppable anger, and that's not a reason for claiming to have done anything due to insanity at all.

Junior feels like a part-time Indian because he felt at some places half white and half Indian but only as a part-time job that does not pay well.
Explanation:
'The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian' is a thinly-veiled autobiographical written by Sherman Alexie. The story is told from First-Person Narrative.
Arnold Spirit Junior is the narrator of the novel who is considered to be unreliable<u>. In the novel, Junior felt part-time indian because he felt half white and half Indian in some places. He stated that he felt being an Indian is like a part-time job for him that does pay him well. Junio, when was in Reservation with his family felt Indian but when was in White school, he felt white. For him being an Indian became like a part-time job for him. That's why Junior felt like a part-time Indian</u>.
Supporting evidence of the claim is cited below:
<em>'Traveling between Reardan and Wellpinit, between the little white town and the reservation, I always felt like a stranger. I was half Indian in one place and half white in the other. It was like being Indian was my job, but it was only a part-time job. And it didn't pay well at all.'</em>
