Not from a distaste for fighting but because I didn 't care too much for the other fellows who were to take part. (p.243)” The narrator sees the others as his inferior, as though ignorant to the fact that they are all entertainment. He makes little to any conversation with any of the boys because all that is on his mind is his speech and grandfather’s curse.

My back felt as though it had been beaten with wires… There was still laughter as I faced them, my mouth dry, my eyes throbbing. I began slowly… (p.248)” Had he no respect for his people to walk away from such embarrassment and not deliver this speech?
