Part Time Indian Extra Credit

extra credit that is.... neway I wanted to blogg my new knowledge. Rowdy calles Jounior a NOMAD A nomad is a person who wonders from place to place. Someone who moves according to the seasons. Describes Jounior....right? At the very end of the story after a basketball game where Arnold actually beats Rowdy (the toughest kid on the rz)Rowdy refers to Arnold as a nomad. He says most people including himself are not nomatic. It actually refers to old Indians being Nomatic. They move place to place in search of food and shelter and move according to the seasons. Rowdy says Jounior is Nomatic. He says that leaving the rez is what Indians use to do and continue to do, even Jounior. For along time Jounior blamed himself for his sisters death. Growing up he felt like he abandonded her and the family by leaving the Rez and switching schools. He felt guilty and ashamed but by leaving he was no less an Indian. In fact, by leaving he was not abandoning his tribe and he was no less an Indian. If anything he was only doing what other Indians did. It became clear to Rowdy one night in a dream. He saw Jounior living his dreams. In the dream Rowdy saw Jounior standing on the Great Wall Of China. Right at that moment he relised that Jounior was on his way to a better life. A happier life. OMG did that make scense at all? that was tough to describe. oh well I hope U got the message. I did!!!
