In this book the part time Indian did there of a boy named Junior and he has moved to an all white people school named Reardan. when Rowdy found out that Junior was leaving Welpinnit he decided to take action and to give him some going away beatings in the eye and the nose. Which he did do. Junior Is presented as an outsider when he got to school people were starring at him like he was a UFO or Big Foot. “They stared at me like I was Big Foot or A UFO. This indicates that people are not either used Indians being in an all White school or that Indian people exist. Usually people would be starring at things that are not normal or something unusual. Junior is again presented as an outsider by him not having the type of things that white people have such as: phones, money, clothes and a nice house. While on the other hand white people having everything the Indians don’t get that are such expensive. When Junior used to go to school back in the Reservation everyone had the same things so it made no difference what so ever. even if you had something that is worth 1 Dollar more it is all the same.

Also, at the beginning of the book junior tells us that he feels like a stranger going through both towns. ” I always felt like a stranger. I was half Indian in one place and half White in the other” This indicates that Junior does not really belong in both places because no one really wants him anywhere if he has betrayed his tribe or that he is not a White person in a White person town. If it was his job being Indian then he has an option to leave which he did. When he says it was like a part time job and you don’t get paid well it is obvious because having a part time job that could be crap would never pay good money. It would probably be for free

“Who has the most hope? Junior is asking his parents on who had the most hope and so his parents already knew the answer. “White people” It was obvious from the very start because white people get better education with new books and equipment. While Indians get old books and equipment from their parents that are already used up. Their teachers might not even know everything on the other side White people know everything that is important in life. When Juniors parents said it they both stared at each other like they were easily sending signals with their faces. ” They studied each others eyes, you know, like they are antennas and were sending radio signals to each other” This happened when Junior was trying to convince his Mum and Dad to let him change schools so at the beginning of the book. His parents had to agree at this point because they did want their children to become smart and to have a nice life and a nice family.

With Indians being so poor and the White people are rich. With whites people they get whatever they want but on the other hand Indians will have to wait about a year to even get a new item or new clothes. Usually they will get things of what their parents had when they were young. Outdated. White people get the fresh designer clothes such as: fluxs, Gucci, Jordan’s and more. Junior really appreciates what he gets. Especially when he went with Penelope to the powwow he had to. Wear his dad’s old suit which was kind of big for him. This all happened at the middle of the book after he moved from welpinnit to Reardan.
