Martin was expressing his concern through worries about his friends finding out true details of being a real Sioux. He talked about how he was embellishing the truth to impress his friends so he wouldn't feel embarrassed. Later, he came out saying he was making excuses for his own benefit. After we watched him debate with himself, we deeply considered what the other signposts might lead to. I then found that his fear of them laughing at his grandpa and his traditions, showed him asking himself if he should even bring his friends at all. Even though this tough question was not shown explicitly, it has a great value to what could happen. Martin said in paragraph 45, "My friends kept asking to come see the old man, but I put them off."

When Martin was unable to stop his friends from coming to meet Martin's grandpa, his grandpa had known and prepared to look more like how his grandson had made him seem to be. When we got to my house, "Grandpa was sitting on the patio. He had on his red shirt, but today he also wore a fringed leather vest that was decorated with beads. Instead of his usual cowboy boots he had solidly beaded moccasins on his feet that stuck out of his black trousers. Of course, he had his old black hat on — he was seldom without it. But it had been brushed and the feather in the beaded headband was proudly erect, its tip a brighter white. His hair lay in silver strands over the red shirt collar." (Paragraph 49)
