He wanted to take Oscar to the vet but because the family was too poor they weren't able to save him. The father got out his rifle and bullets and he shot the dog. 'A bullet only costs about two cents, and anybody can afford that.' shows that Junior is very bitter about the fact that they are poor and that they can't save him.

5. It was a mistake for Junior to hit Roger because Roger was the alpha male of a big troop of white guys and could have hurt Junior very bad.
