    Junior might believe this because he sees white families walking around looking perfect. But what he doesn’t know is that every family has problems in their house. As Leo Tolstoy said, “Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” Even though Junior talks about how every Indian family is unhappy because of one reason, alcohol. Readers might think that even though many Indian family's problems are sparked from alcohol, they all are quite different. For example, in Junior’s family, his dad drinking is only one of many problems. Some of the other problems are that his sister Mary ran off to marry a Flathead Indian, that his parents never achieved any of their dreams, and that their is no hope on the…

    Junior is accepting of the loss and depression that he is facing. On of the first loses in the book that Junior faces is his grandmother dying. “ My grandmother's last act on Earth was a call for forgiveness, love, and tolerance.” His grandmother was very positive and helps Junior through hard times and it was really difficult to see his grandmother die, but he didn’t give up but accepted what he was going through and stayed positive. The second biggest loss is when his sister died. “No,” Miss Warren said. “ Your sister, she’s dead.” Junior could easily become really depressed and not do anything but he accepts what happened to him and that is how he overcomes his losses and depression.…

    Junior The Only One Essay

    These are 2 examples of Junior having trouble in life because he is the “only one”. Being the “only one” is hard for Junior because it makes him different from everyone else. Junior struggles throughout the book but in the end he pushes through and comes out stronger than everyone else. There are many struggles when being the “only one”, but there are also sometimes good aspects. Being the “only one” in this story is not bad, it’s the others who make fun of Junior being the “only one” that makes it embarrassing for him. Being the “only one” makes Junior unique and defines who he is as a person. This is what Sherman Alexie means when he talks about Junior being the “Only…

    Is Johnny A Hero Essay

    Do you know what a hero is? A hero to me is someone who has courage to stand up against things and that risks his own life for something small. They are also outstanding achievements. “Y’all were heroes from the beginning.” (Hinton,107) I believe that someone in the book “The Outsiders” named Johnny is a hero. He is because he saved Ponyboy, he saved all the kids from the church that caught on fire, and he gave Dally something to live for.…

    He is very sentimental and sensitive. He is afraid of being by himself in a new world. Not having Rowdy in Reardon High School, makes it a little bit harder for Junior because people will make fun of him and could also hurt him. On page 54 Junior says, “I’m scared dad.” Dad replied, “You can always go back to the Rez School.” Junior does not want to go back to the Rez School because he could get hurt and he also won’t be able to get a good education. Junior already made the decision of going to a different school and he was not going to give it up just because he was scared. Junior has conquered some of his weakness. An example in which show us that Junior has overcome one of his fears is when Roger made a racist comment about Indians. He said, “Did you know that Indians are living proof that niggers fuck buffalo?” Junior punched Roger in the face and then challenged him to fight but instead Roger walked away from Junior. This is a big achievement for Junior because this time he didn’t have to depend on Rowdy to help him out. Little by little, Junior is defeating his…

    It happens to be a very hard task due to the fact that Rearden’s first basketball game happened to be against Wellpinit, the school on the rez. When Junior’s team arrives, he is booed and attacked. With a quarter splitting open his forehead, and then his old best friend, Rowdy, elbowing him in his very fragile head and giving him a concussion. Junior also tries his hardest to separate Arnold’s life from Junior’s life. As Arnold, he lies to his friends, claiming he is not poor and he has a normal life. Which could not be farther from the truth because Junior happens to be very poor and his life far from normal. When the truth rears its ugly head, Roger and Penelope do not turn away, but like him even more, and help him through his crisis. In the end, his two personalities come back to one, because his friends at Rearden know the truth about him, and Rowdy befriends Junior again.…

    With outstanding level of integrity, as well as rectitude despite a distressing home life, it would be justifiable to identify Johnny Cade in The Outsiders, as a hero. Although some may disagree with this statement by stating that Johnny could never be a hero simply because he killed Bob. However, we must remember the salient fact that when Ponyboy was being drowned in the park fountain by David, Johnny stabbed Bob on behalf of Ponyboy’s protection, despite the generally terrifying, and painful nature of an action that heinous. In addition, when the children were trapped in the burning church on Jay Mountain, Johnny ran to the rescue without hesitation, even if it meant putting his own life at risk for the benefit of others. Finally, and most importantly, when Johnny was dying in hospital, and did not have much time left before death, he did not try to feel sorry for himself, he instead said goodbye…
