Alexie , pg 46]]> 2019-09-23 12:00:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388093212 Victoria woolsey https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388093927 I would call junior courageous and shy. I think this because through all the trouble and poverty the reservation is dealing with he fought through it and left by Mr. P's advice to become successful. Even after his mom said "the other Indians will be mad at you" He didn't care or care enough to stop what he wanted to do. He ended up losing his best friend this way (Rowdy) but he didn't pity himself and make everyone pity him and just went on. Although while he was an outcast at the new white school he started making friends but he was still stuck on rowdy which is why I think he is shy. He was closed minded at first but even when he made friends he wanted to have his old friend back. "Rowdy might be the most important person in my life, " Instead of trying to make new friends he wanted Rowdy back because he knew him well. ]]> 2019-09-23 12:01:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388093927 https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388094016 I’d say he’s a low key sort of nice person that doesn’t really care what people think because he went to another school knowing people would judge him for it and especially for leaving his tribe.“I could handle the kicks”
He says this and I interpreted it as he’s strong enough to push through and keep persevering .

On page 40, Mr. P told Junior “And you’re a bright and shining star too.. I don’t want you to fail.” This explains how Junior is bright and stands out from everyone else. On page 72, Eugene told Junior “It’s pretty cool you doing this.. I could never do it. I’m a wuss.” This explains that Junior is brave for leaving the rez to go to a different school.]]> 2019-09-23 12:02:57 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388094433 Yamitza Contreras https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388095475 Junior is really strong. Junior is strong because he has gone through so much in the book it says “I was only six months and I was supposed to croak during the surgery” and to only be six months and getting brain surgery is being strong. Junior also deals with brain damage and bullying and he get picked on every day. ]]> 2019-09-23 12:04:50 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388095475 yeneury https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388096193 he’s strong because instead of staying in his school he switch schools so he can make it somewhere in life and left his friends , and got punched by rowdy. In the text it says “ Bang ! Rowdy punched me “ Bang ! I hit the ground. Bang ! my nose bled like a firework “

He wants to use his cartoons, his art, and humor to speak to the world and people like him. He longs for attention from the world. Junior reveals this in a cartoon as well as a quote in the book. The author states on page 6, “so I draw because I want to talk to the world. And I want the world to pay attention to me. I feel Important with a pen in my hand”.  He also states on page 6, “so I draw because I feel like it might be my only chance to escape the reservation”. Through the segregation of his people and how he was deemed as less than by his peers do to his brain condition, he looks to drawing to convey his experience and himself to the world and to escape that environment. ]]> 2019-09-23 12:08:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388097475 https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388148255 Aniyah kelley

He’s still very much a teenage boy and acts like any other teenage boy. He’s still developing as a human and it shows in his actions. For example the fact that he’s so focused on impressing penelope. He states “i’m wearing this to protest the treatment of homeless native americans in this country” simply to impress a female]]> 2019-09-23 13:24:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388151338 Wesley rhock https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388151972 I say that junior is a nice kid that likes to dream big of himself. Junior is someone that people bully because of the way he looks. His parents let him go to a new school because they think he will get better options to what he wanna do. In his new school he don’t get picked on as much.]]> 2019-09-23 13:25:14 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388151972 Gabe kalix https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388152170 You can characterize junior as scared but brave by how he interacts with the other characters. For example in page 63-64 roger the giant makes a very racist comment and while he is a lot bigger than junior and has his friends around, junior still stuck up for himself which made me think of him as brave.]]> 2019-09-23 13:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388152170 https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388152588 Alisha Matthew 
Junior is a brave and caring person,, junior cares for his people on page 65 it said “ I wasn’t just defending myself.i was defending Indians, black people, and buffalo”.

He got bullied but one day he stood up those bullies as a example for his people , on page 65 he said “ I wasn’t just defending myself , I was defending Indians , black people , and buffalo .” He’s using himself as a voice like mr. p said  ]]> 2019-09-23 13:26:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388152806 Juan Herrera https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388152847 Junior can be characterized as someone hopeful, smart and weird. He goes to another school with no idea how it will turn out because he wants a better future for himself. He is one of the smartest kids in the school, and is often shown to have very weird thoughts in the situations he’s put through.]]> 2019-09-23 13:26:17 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388152847 Egypt Badger https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388153080 Junior can be described as bright and expressive. 
He is very smart and one point in the Rez he was the smartest kid in his class. He loves to use his art to understand the world and to express his outlook on the world around him and the people he encounters as well as his feelings. Drawing is also his way of communicating to the world. In the book he says himself “I draw because I want to talk to the world”

Junior says, “No, if it don’t go now, I never will.

I believe this because of when we heard someone throwing up in the bathroom he went to go see if they were okay. “ ... But then I hear the noise again. ARGGGHHHHHHHHHGHKHKAYSJSGJ JSAABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ. Okay, so somebody might have the flu or something. Maybe they’re having, like, kidney failure in there. I can’t walk away.

You can characterize Junior as a creative kid, for example on page 5 he said "I draw all the time." This shows that he is creative because he is always drawing new stuff.]]> 2019-09-23 13:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388155958 Robert Spencer/ Daniel Martin https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388156900
Junior is confused, determined, and Creative 
He is confused of his identity. He says “I feel like two different people inside of one body”, this shows how life on the Rez is different from his life at the school, he is determined in the fact that he was willing to move schools to better his education so he could do something with his life, Junior is creative because he uses pictures to describe his life instead of words he says “I draw because words are too unpredictable”. ]]> 2019-09-23 13:31:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388156900 Ny Coursey https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388158525 Junior is special and creative and is hopeful 
“..“Are you sure?”My parents asked
“Yes”I said 
“When do you want to go”my parents asked
“Right now, tomorrow” I said 
“Are you sure my parents asked you could maybe wait until the semester break until next year get a fresh start” 
“No, if I don’t go now ,I never will.I have to do it now”
 
“Okay” they said 

By doing this he shows how he’s special and brave for telling his parents after he thought they would be really mad at him .  ]]> 2019-09-23 13:33:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388158525 Evan Workman https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388163188 I believe that Junior is determined to persevere. I say this because of all the obstacles he had gotten through in his life. No matter what struggles came Junior's way he never gave up on life or his dreams. (Pages 52-53) "Bang! Rowdy punched me... But I had to stand eventually, and when I did, I knew that that my best friend had become my worst enemy." Even when his one and only friend (at the time) knocked him down he got back up. ]]> 2019-09-23 13:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388163188 Rasheed Bailey https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388164237 Junior is a really good kid that tried his hardest to achieve the things he wants when he wants it. On page 109 junior talks about ponelope’s father and says “If you make charcoal babies, I’m going to disown her. I’m going to kick her out of my house.” This shows the racism that’s being thrown at him in his new life.

I say this because on page 45 Junior says “I want to transfer school”. Junior lets his parents know that he really wanted to go to a new school. This shows that he is determined to have a better life. Junior is self-conscious because on page 56 he says “So what am I doing in a racist Reardan, where more than half of every graduating class went to collage?” This shows me that he really doesn’t fully believe in him self. ]]> 2019-09-23 14:56:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388237158 Danielle O’Donald https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388237176 Junior is brave because of how he acted towards the bullies at his new school. After Roger an his friends said something rude to junior he says, “I hated them. And i knew i had to do something big... So i punched Roger in the face”(Forney 65).

I characterized Junior as brave and determined because he took a chance and went to Reardan to have a good opportunity at a good education. Junior said, “ No, if I don’t go now, I never will.

I couldn’t believe it . My sister married a guy for a damn silly reason” Page 90 .  Junior expressed that because his sister is moving to Montana and he doesn’t want her to move away from the family, its a major change for him and he acted out on it by fussing and thinking she wrong .

He is brave for switching out of the rez. He deals with a lot of bullying and going somewhere else to settle down is very brave considering what he goes through.

At the same time Junior is trying to go far in life for himself  and I think for him going to a good school outside of the Rez was the best idea possible. Also it’s good because he will literally be the only Indian to leave the Rez with a good education. Outside of that he’s not getting bullied anymore

When he decided to transfer, everyone on the Rez got mad at him. Little do they know, he wanted to have a better future than them. He didn’t want to be like everyone on the Rez. He wanted to pursue his career so he took manners into his hands and made the decision to transfer to a different school. When Rowdy heard the news, he got really mad and punched. Rowdy should have been a supportive friend and thought that Junior didn’t want to be with him anymore. ]]> 2019-09-24 13:26:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388815719 Julianna tabor https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388816404 I feel as though junior try’s his best to feel comfortable with himself and the world around him. “ I draw all the time” “ I draw because words are too unpredictable, words are too limited” “ when you draw a picture, everybody can understand it.” It shows that through his eyes him drawing is what makes me feel the most him and most confident and comfortable and most connected with the world around him.    Alexie, page 5 ]]> 2019-09-24 13:27:08 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388816404 Nicole Betancur https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388816844 Junior is a person that doesn’t give up he is taking the bullying. In the school other kids call him a name “Globe” because his head is big. Bullies would pick him up spine him around and then place there finger where they wanna go and say “ I want to go there”. ]]> 2019-09-24 13:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388816844 Andy Garcia-Santos https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388816948 I would describe Junior as a smart and bold kid but is also very emotional. Many people think he has a lot of potential. He is also strong because he doesn’t let the bullying get to him and he was only supposed to love up to six months “I was only six months and i was supposed to croak during the surgery”. He fights for what he wants and is a good friend. ]]> 2019-09-24 13:27:51 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388816948 Olivia chickadel https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388816982 junior is a brave kid that doesn’t want to stay on the rez. He has hope to find something new in his life. On page 45 it says “I want to go to Reardan, Reardan is the rich white farm town.” Also on page 47 juniors mother says “you’ll be the first one to ever leave the Rez this way.” He knew the other Indians were going to hate him for going but he went anyways to fine hope.]]> 2019-09-24 13:27:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388816982 Folarin Adegbuji https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388817341
I’d say junior is a smart kid,and he has sort of a bold side that people would not expect.For example when junior was being bullied by the jocks in his new school, he stood up to one of them and punched him in the face, and the punch knocked him on the floor.”Yea bit you punched the alpha dog in the face “:” They’re going to respect you now “
He was bold enough to stand to the alpha dog of the school.]]> 2019-09-24 13:28:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388817341 Joclyn Fletcher https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388817358 Junior is in between a flat and round character. He’s flat because all he even does is doubt himself and talk about how bad everything is. He’s also a round character because he’s brave enough to leave the rez and was brave enough to punch a guy in the face. In the beginning he talks about how his life isn’t the best by saying “Poverty = empty refrigerator + empty stomach” (Pg. 8) then talks about how he likes KFC. Later after he punched Rodger, he talked to his grandmother who said “I think it means he respects you” after Junior told her what happened at school. He didn’t believe it at first until he stared him going to school again and noticed Rodger was acting different  ]]> 2019-09-24 13:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388817358 Mecca Brooks https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388817506 I would characterize Junior as a brave and determined person. On page 89 Junior drew comics about how he had to walk to school (a school where he was constantly made fun of for being Indian) if his parents didn’t have enough gas. Junior was also brave enough to punch Roger in the face for messing with him (Alexie, P:65). This tells me that Junior is able to defend himself when he needs to and he is willing to better himself by getting off the rez, even if the kids at his new school are mean to him too.]]> 2019-09-24 13:28:28 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388817506 Jamir Pettiford https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388818905 Junior is a very hopeful and preserving person. I characterize him this way because he has had many chances to just give up and be done like the rest of the people surrounding him have already done but he hasn’t. He keeps pushing to do better and be better especially after his talk with Mr.P. Even when his dad asked him if he just wanted to go back the the Rez school he told him “no, I have to do this” showing that he wouldn’t give up on Being better in life. ]]> 2019-09-24 13:30:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388818905 angelina brown https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388819868 Junior is an emotional but outgoing person. Throughout the story so far we learn more than enough about him. He can even be defined as brave for when he punched one of the Reardan kids after he had grown tired of their constant mockery of him. Also going to the school in general, he had put what other people on the rez. would think of him behind, the punishment he would receive for "betraying" them and leaving.  He's artistic , putting almost everything into pictures , his mind is creative being able to do that, being able to almost instantly put his emotions down onto paper like nothing. He's determined, after the talk with Mr.P had changed him, he NEEDED to get off the rez. to accomplish most of anything he wanted. He's trying to make it in the big world and he's not giving up.]]> 2019-09-24 13:31:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388819868 Christopher Perez https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388821524 Junior Is a Determined  person. I say that because he dedicated himself to have a better life then what he’s bin living. He decides to transfer school to make sure of it although the school is exact opposite to what’s he’s used to  he still go regardless even when he didn’t have a ride so he walked until he was picked up from his dad friend to attend this school. Another trait I’ll say he have is being Strong. He’s deals with a lot on a day to day basis, He gets bullied a lot more then often and he also has health issues and speech impediment. On top of that he deals with poverty and that’s what makes him so determined.   ]]> 2019-09-24 13:33:29 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388821524 Hazel rust https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388886933 I would describe him as a very brave and smart boy but also has a soft side he tries to hide his emotions ]]> 2019-09-24 14:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388886933 Mariela nolasco https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388889072 I would describe Junior as a smart kid because on page 40

One quote Junior said was “No,no,I don’t think I’m better than anybody.I think I’m worse than everybody else.”.I used that quote because it shows insecure Junior is and how low his self esteem is but how he will make fun of and bring himself down in order to make his best friend feel better even though his best friend is being a jerk to him.]]> 2019-09-24 14:57:47 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388893323 https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388893651 Junior is a unique kid that not as fast as the other kids and looks a little different for ex- he was a size 11 in 3rd grade]]> 2019-09-24 14:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388893651 Reagan McDonald https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388893676 I would describe Junior as outgoing because he takes to Gordy without being afraid.

I want to go reardan. He knew that he wouldn’t be welcomed back to the red because of this change and he still made that decision.

He wants to end the cycle of poverty of his family but he knew that in order to do that he would have to leave the Rez because nobody on the Rez is willing to continue their dreams end try to better themselves and family. But he also has to go with changes at Reardan because there’s nobody that shares the same beliefs and culture as him. (Mr.P, p42) “All the kids have given up” “All your friends all the bullies and their mothers and fathers have given up too. And their grandparents gave up and their grandparents before them”.

Junior deals with a lot of physical problems which gets him bullied, yet his best friend Rowdy still sticks up for him as they’ve been friends since kids. As rowdy says himself “You’re the only person I listen to” (PG. 20) as Rowdy genuinely cares about Junior and they share such a strong bond within each other. Rowdy stands up for Junior on the often due to the bullying and teasing that Junior goes through do to his differences that he has, Junior now shows change because of a talk with Mr.P where Mr.P encourages him to do better saying that he deserves better than what he has now. ]]> 2019-09-24 14:58:57 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388894285 daniella moreno https://padlet.com/cynthia_tomeo/f7gigmap5eib/wish/388895218 i would describe Junior as a brave but doubtful kid. He is brave because he wasn’t scared to go to Reardan, and even if he was scared to punch Roger, he still did to defend himself.

Junior is very brave , he deals with tough things like his families poverty , getting bullied , his best friend not wanting to be his friend anymore , going to a new school and etc. He suffers a lot and gets through it all.
