Reading Response

  These pages start off when Junior goes to the school in Reardon. He gets the information from his dad that white people are no better than them but he doesn't think this is true. So he gets out of the car with a trash bag for a backpack and goes into the main office. When he receives his home room and id he goes into the room and sits by a girl. She asks him his name and he says junior. Bu later we finally get to know his actual name when the teacher is calling role which is Arnold. Then one day Arnold's parents do not have enough gas to bring him to school so he starts making the 22-mile hike when he gets a ride from his dad’s friend Eugene. 

     Then in chapter ten Junior talks about an Indian girl named Dawn who was very pretty and he loved her knowing he would never have a shot at dating her. We also find out that Junior cries a lot and he is the " opposite of a warrior." So far in the book I have liked it because it is kind of funny but at the same time it is sad. I like the contrast between Juniors personality and the people around him who think of him as weird.
