favorite part of the book

My favorite part of the book is when Junior went to Reardin. He did what he wanted to do instead of staying at the reservation. He knew he would get ridiculed for leaving but he still went anyways.

quote and a question

"I mean, yeah, my dad would sometimes go on a drinking beinge and be gone for a week, but those white dads can completely disappear without ever leaving the room. They can just BLEND into their chairs. They become their chairs." pg. 153-154

Do you think parents aren't as involved with their childrens' lives, and why do you think that?

Reservations

In the book the other indians felt betrayed that junior left the reservation. The indians that came to speak to the class yesterday left their reservation and the indians on their reservation still treated them the same.
