What Mr. P. is saying that the white people have given hope like Rowdy. Also the Indians have given hope like Mary and Junior’s parents. Mr. P. said “Every white person on this rez should get smashed in the face. But, let me tell this. All the Indians should get smashed in the face, too”(35).What is so significant about about what Mr. P. said is because they have given up hope and share their hopelessness and pain to others. That’s why the whites and Indians should get smashed in the face. The whites and the Indians are creating this endless cycle of suffering. An what’s important after this quote is when Mr. P. tells Junior that he still hasn’t given up hope and it is bad for Junior to stay at the rez. “We’re all going to kill you. You can’t fight us forever… You kept your hope, you have to take your hope and go somewhere where other people have hope”(35). This shows that there is no point for staying. The people who have given up hope and cause harm deserve to get smashed in the face.Junior should go somewhere better than the rez. Since Junior hasn’t given up hope and why Mr. P. told Junior that he should deserve better.
I agree with William that the Whites and Indians are creating an endless cycle of suffering. Mr.P wants junior to have hope and not lose it due to the other people around him who have given up hope. ""But not you"..."you can't give up hope".."You threw that book in my face because somewhere inside you refused to give up hope.""(43) The significance of that quote is that The Indians and Whites are starting to "kill" him which makes Mr. P want to smash the Whites and Indians in the face. This is also why Mr. P believes that Junior deserves better.
