******SPOILER ALERT**********
How is Junior’s life similar to/different than your ideas about life on a reservation?
How do alcoholism and violence impact life on the Spokane Reservation?
When Junior asks Gordy for advice about getting Penelope to like him, Gordy comes back
and tells Junior he’s a racist just like everybody else. Is he?
Junior loses three people he loves to alcohol-related accidents in a very short time. How
do these losses affect him and shape his views about life?
What do you think about “The Unofficial and Unwritten (but you better follow them or
you’re going to get beaten twice as hard) Spokane Indian Rules of Fisticuffs”? Why do you think Roger and his friends think it’s okay to call Junior names but freak out that he responds with a punch?
Junior explains Rowdy’s anger and sense of betrayal by saying that “Some Indians think
you become white if you try to make your life better.” Gordy argues that if that were true,
all white people would be successful. Who do you think is right, Rowdy or Gordy?
