Reading #5: question 2- summarize the cartoon on 182. What is the significance? What does it show about junior? What is his dilemma?

     On page 182 there is a cartoon of Junior playing basketball at the Wellpinit high gym and at the Reardan high gym. In the Wellpinit gym he is the devil and has a nervous expression, specifically not a sad expression. There is a quarter bouncing off his forehead, the crowd is yelling boo, and white-lover. On the Reardan high side Junior is an angel. He has an expression on his face that is still worry-some, his expression is confused, questioning. The crowd is yelling destroy them, Arnold! And yayyy!!!  On both sides he is wondering "who am I", with an extra question mark on the Reardan side.
    I think there is an extra question mark on the Reardan side because he is wondering why is he here, because he is the only person from Wellpinit to go to Reardan. The dilemma that Junior is facing is: Junior fells odd and out of place playing for Reardan, against the team he used to be on that is from his town. The angel and devil is how the spectators view Junior. Junior is the devil at Wellpinit because he left the rez and abandoned his tribe, but he is an angel at Reardan because he scores many points and helps support the team. The significance is Junior feels like a hero at Reardan, but when playing his old friends in Wellpinit he feels like a enemy, for leaving them all behind in the rez.

  1. Danny I fully support your point and I feel that you expressed your feelings for this cartoon in a great way. Arnold has always been wondering "Who am I," for a while. You are completely correct in saying that he feels odd and out of place, and I feel that his motivation to play in this game is because he wants to show Wellpinit that he needed to leave and go somewhere he is more comfortable. The extra question mark on the Reardan side is most likely because like you said wondering why he is there, but he is also lying to a lot of people at Reardan about his social class. This was a really good response! -Brooke
