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.
