My Six Word Memior

I Prefer the Road Less Traveled.

Where is hope ?


I chose the cartoon on pg. 43, because to me it was the cartoon that held the most meaning. Junior probably drew this cartoon in an attempt to really grasp what Mr. P had told him about hope. Junior is standing a little past a road sign pointing him towards the hopeful unknown, but away from the rez and his poor home. This concept hit Junior like an epiphany and he was convinced his life would never improve and he would always be a poor-ass Indian who was content with his perceived limitations. Instead Junior went against the grain and wished to travel into the “unknown” in search of hope, hope that he would someday escape the rez and pursue larger expectations.
