The interaction between these two characters was great‚ it was interesting to see a budding relationship slowly build between two characters who were

Although his grandma’s death was unexpected‚ Junior didn’t show any signs of depression and stayed optimistic throughout the whole process. Although it’s not surprising for Indians to die on the rez‚ it isn’t as common for those outside the rez‚ like at Rearden. Junior states‚ “I’m fourteen years old and I’ve been to forty-two funerals. That’s really the biggest difference between Indians and white people” (199). Deaths are something that Junior has to endure‚ but it doesn’t get easier going to funeral after
