Reading #6: Question 1. What is Arnold's grieving ceremony? (Jack)
With all the bad things that are happening to Arnold he needed a way to get rid of some of his grief. "I kept trying to find the little pieces of joy in my life." Arnold has a grieving ceremony where he writes down things that give him joy and happiness. In his grieving ceremony he writes lists of his favorite things, draws cartoons and also think about the bad things that have happened. This connects to the cartoon on page 66. because Junior is letting out some of his grief and his brain is being renewed. Arnold's list renewed him enough to come back and win his basketball game and be a little bit happier.

I agree with this point how Junior writes down the things he enjoy his life and how needs to get rid of all the grief. Junior want's to enjoy his life and not to have a bad life just because he is an Indian and he was born with problems. It won't let him stop even liking girls for example Penelope. Now people treat Junior a lot better than before and the first day Junior came to Reardan. People thinks he is a hero like in the big game against Redskins his old schools. In the text it say's, "My team mobbed me. They lifted me up on their shoulders and carried me around the gym". This shows how the people at Reardan changed since the beginning of the school year.
