Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie Summarizer #1

I have read 87 pages out of 230 from the book The Absolutely Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. So far in the story, we were introduced to Rowdy, Junior’s Parents , Mary Runs Away,  Penelope and Grandma. Rowdy convinced Junior to go to the Powwow ( A Dancing Ceremony). At the Powwow Junior got beat up by some 30 year old triplets, Rowdy protected him as he always has since he is his best friend. Then when Junior went to school, he threw a book at Mr.P because he was mad that all that happened to the Indians was give up and that they were so poor.  Mr.P gave Junior a talk about how in the Rez, all the people give up and lose hope, he told Junior that he still has hope left and that he has to leave the Rez and go to a different school before he loses hope. Junior tells his parents that he wants to transfer to another high school outside of the Rez and they agree to let him transfer. Junior tells Rowdy about his plans to go to Reardan and asks him to come with him, he gets mad and betrayed so he beats Junior up.  Junior has his first day at school and meets Penelope a stuck up, full of herself girl that is the first to talk to him. Junior gets pushed around by the jocks and eventually he punches one of the large bullies in the face, leading the jocks to leave him alone and respect him for standing up for himself. That so far is what happened in A Part-Time Indian.
