This part of the book didn't really pick up for me until around page one hundred. I like that Junior has gained Gordy's respect. Even if they aren't the closest of friends, they both needed someone so I'm glad they are friends now. I also like that the people at Reardan are kind of respecting Junior, Roger acknowledges him and now Gordy does too and I'm proud of Junior. He made a big decision to go to Reardan and so far it's paying off.
I think that the decision to go to school off of the reservation was incredibly brave and something I probably wouldn't do in his place. I would be very worried to leave Episcopal, especially if I was in Junior's situation, a minority going into a new, prejudiced school. And based on how Junior was doing at his previous school, he's not doing terribly at his new school and at least he believes in his decision. Finally, I think that Junior will benefit greatly from his new school and I want to believe that he will eventually make more friends.
I am proud of him for making the decision to go to Rearden too. Can you imagine your parents not having enough money to pay for gas to take you to school?We really are so lucky to have our lives. It is good Jr. has earned the respect of other kids at Rearden.
ReplyDeleteI am glad he went Rearden because it is a great way to express himself. I think he will go to college and be a legend in the reservation
