![]() ![]() All of the ‘white’ kids are rich and have enough money to buy everything they want. Junior decides to transfer from his reservation school to Reardan High, a white school that is more than twenty miles away. He knows that alcohol (and because of that almost everyone is poor) is more important to most residents than an education is. On the first high school day Arnold found out that his textbook was used by his mother – so it was approximately fifty-five years old. ![]() He is the only one who wants to protect Arnold (who often is called Junior) from his bullies and physical abuse. ![]() When Oscar gets sick his father kills him and now his only friend is Rowdy. He is very poor and he only has two friends, his dog – Oscar - and Rowdy (a boy who also live on the reservation). This is the reason he is regularly beaten up and calling names like ‘retard’ (for the brain damage) and ‘globe’ (because of his large head). He has several problems like ‘born with water on the brain’ (he has a big head), he has a poor eyesight, seizures and lips and stutters. My first reaction was then of course that the book was really funny – it already was funny on page one.Īrnold is a boy who lives on the Spokane Indian Reservation. He said that this book is really funny and easy to understand. The expectations I had for this book were pretty high because of what I’ve read on the Internet and of what my teacher told me. ![]()
