The Absolute True Diary of a Part Time Indian...1

Okay so, I've read way ahead, but I'm just going to write about what I want, because I'm not sure where we left off! When Junior went back to the rez with his basketball team to play his old school, I felt like that showed how strong he really was. People were throwing things at his head, he got stitches, and then he still wanted to play. When he did play, he got knocked out. When he woke up, he was still pumped up and wished he could have played more. That's determination. Before he started playing the first time, he was sad, angry, and nervous, but with the help of his coach he channeled all those emotions into something potentially good. I feel like if more people knew how to channel all the things going on in their lives into something more positive rather than destructive, the world would be much better off. He kept a positive attitude which isn't the easiest thing to do and is something I think everyone could use a little more of.
