“In every moment you make a decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing what you can do is nothing" ("Theodore Roosevelt" end, the classmates at Junior's new school find many ways to identify his flaws and are noticeably rude and critical. In fact, a classmate at Junior's school yells, "Did you know that Indians are living proof that niggers fuck. buffalo" (Alexie 52)? Luckily, Junior defends himself by punching his classmate, Roger, in the face, but feels very guilty afterwards (Alexie 52). Even though Roger is white, seven feet tall, and one hundred and fifty pounds, he doesn't intimidate Junior and is horribly racist (Alexie 52). These guys give Junior a very hard time, which justifies every reason to return. In summary, it is essential that Junior goes back because he perceives himself to be a disgusting creature who wanders the corridors of Reardan among teachers, adults and his classmates.
