It shows one thing that white people think of Indians (Native Americans): That they only feel half as much pain compare to white people, so the white dentist gave him just half the Novocain when removing all ten extra teeth of Junior.

"what if somebody picks on me?" I asked. "Then I'll pick on them." "What if somebody picks my nose?' I asked. "Then I'll pick your nose, too," Rowdy said. "Your my hero," I said. "Come to the powwow," Rowdy said. "Please." It's a big deal when Rowdy is polite." "Okay, Okay," I said.

One of the main purposes to the story is to bring awarenes to readers and people in society about the injustices Native Americans also face and the quote is significant because the rhetoric behind it simply analyzes how Americans feel about Native Americans. And one can not say that that thought is an opinion with the acknowledgement of what this country did to them and till this day nothing has been done. - Antonio Correa

This quote is a realization on how Rowdy enjoys Jr's company. Even though Rowdy and Jr. are opposites (ones a big fighter and the other is a wimpy pacifist), they are similar in both being outcasts. Both of them see each other as brothers. Throughout Rowdy's miserable life, the only good that he finds in his horrible life is Jr.

I picked this quote because it hits close to home sometimes people feel like there zero's and that they don't matter. And in this quote you can see that Arnold feels like he's nothing and he will always be a nobody. He believes he's irrelevant. That nobody will miss him. I quote him "Nobody will miss me if I was gone." That's a sad feeling thinking your nothing that nobody would care that he would disappear. I chose this quote to show he does matter even though he thinks he's a zero. - Citlalli Burgara

They probably became comfort with the lifestyle since they live in the Reservation so long. And if they are struggling to live in the Reservation, imagine how hard it will be to leave outside the Reservation, that's why Mr. P tells him to get out of Reservation when he's a kid before he force to live as a adult: bills to pay, a job to go, and etc.
