What Junior realizes about parents is that his parents really care about him and there is a difference from the parents in the rez and the parents in Reardan. Junior describes how his parents make sacrifices for him. How they worry for him. Also listen to him. In the rez, everybody knows each other. But in Reardan no one knows each other. Junior’s parents have made many sacrifices like sometimes spending the time to drive him to school. Listening to Junior’s problems and giving him advice. The most important thing they did was letting Junior go to school in Reardan since they cared about him so much.”But it isn't weird that my parents so quickly agreed with my plans. They want a better life for my sister and me… And my parents love me so much that they want to help me”(46). In the rez everybody knows each other. But in Reardan, everybody didn’t know each other and were complete strangers. The ironic part about Junior’s parents caring about Junior is that most Readan kids get ignored by their parents. What’s weird about it is that his dad is an alcoholic and both of Junior’s parents have given up hope but they still care about Junior. What is also ironic is that the rez is really big but everybody knows each other but. In Reardan it is a small town but everybody are like strangers to each other. Some similarities t=from this book and the Outsiders is that Junior and Ponyboy never lose hope. Overall, this shows the sacrifices Junior’s parents have made and the difference between the interaction among people in the rez and in Reardan.

ReplyDeleteI agree with William that what Junior realizes about parents is that the both care about him a lot and there is a difference from the parents on the Rez and the parents in Reardan because most Readan kids get ignored by their parents."My mother and father were working hard for me" (Alexie 119). This shows that Junior's parents deeply care about him, but the irony is that even though the Reardan kids are richer and have more oppurtunity, their parents do not care as much.
