Opinions On What I Have Read

Since this book was first published in 2007, I was and still am shocked of how Indians live in reservations today. I didn't think that those kinds of treatments were still existent in today's society. I couldn't believe that the Indian Health Service only paid for major dental work once a year, could get new glasses once a year, and only had one style for everyone. I thought it was also ridiculous that the white dentist thought that Indians feel half the pain of whites so they only provided half the Novocain to those getting major dental work done. It's cruel to have segregation like that in every day life and shouldn't be accepted any where in the world. I thought it was interested when Junior said that his Dad doesn't believe in physical punishment but prefers to stare coldly at his son with the same effect as physically harming something or someone. My Dad is the same way so I thought it was somewhat funny but more interesting. Something else I thought was funny was that Junior's best friend, who was very violent toward others, name was Rowdy. A suitable name given the circumstances. When Rowdy taught Junior to always throw the first punch if you think that's the only punch you'll get in, I thought that was hilarious. This whole book is pretty funny and I throughly enjoy it.
