LABEL IT NETHING U WANT , ITS ALL THE SAME
The Absolute True Diary of a Parft-time Indian. Week 9
so Jounior is falling for a girl in school. A White girl. He thinks about her all the time and thinks about how beautiful she is to him. He see s her as perfect. Perfect Penelope. She is smart, popular, beautiful and White. He wonders what a girl like her would see in a guy like him. So beautiful on the outside yet on the inside she is suffering through life just the same as Jounior is. (O man can I relate) Being pretty is not always good. In some ways being beautiful hurts. It is easy to forget that despite what you may see simply by looking at someone they may be filled with so much hurt too. Just because someone LOOKS GOOOD doesnt mean they feel good.
Rowdy gives jounior advise about love.
Jounior is falling for Panelope. He watches her play vollyball, he admires the color of her skin. He thinks she is sexy and notices the outline of her body inside the bra and panties. He loves her blue eyes. He thinks she is the most beautiful girl in school. Everyone thinks because she is popular that she lives such a good life. What people see couldnt be farther from the truth. Inside Penelope is sad. Her father is controlling and is a White raciest. Hanging out with an Indian would surely upset her dad. Jounior and Penelopie started being friends. He finally got the chance to say something to her after hearing her BARFF in the girls bathroom when she didnt think anyone was lisening. He was, he herd the whole thing. Right at that moment he relises that beauty is only skin deep. Inside Penelope suffers too. She dreams of the day she leaves home. To Jouniors surprise they shared the same dream.
Jounior has a hard time dealing with is emotions. He misses his best friend rowdy so he sends an email. Rowdy responds quickly. "sick of Indian guys who treat white women like bowling trophies" Then he tells Jounior to "Get a life"
so Jounior moves on and seeks advise from another friend, Gordy. Jounior asks the question,
"Im an Indian boy... how can I get a White girl to love me?" he asks Gordy. Gordy had to think about that one for awhile then responds with, "People care more about beautiful White girls than they do about everybody else on the planet." basicly calling Jounior a raciest, just like everyone else.
Jr and Penelopie keep getting closer, becoming better friends. She has no idea how POOR he and his family are. He hides it from everybody. He doesnt admitt that sometimes his father gets too drunk and is unable to p[ick Jounior up from school. Sometimes he walks. Eventually she catches on and questions him about being poor. She is his friend so he honestly answers her. He relises,
"if you let people into your life a little bit, they can be pretty damn amazing"
