Ch. 5, #2
Junior's sister, Mary gave up on her dream of being an author of a romance novel. I think that Mary gave up on her dream of being an author because she thought that it was easier than trying to actually achieve her dream. And since she wanted to be an author of a romance novel it was more difficult for her to be confident with her dream because people would make fun of her for writing romance novels. I also think that she gave up on her dream because everyone else in the reservation already had and i guess the giving up factor rubbed off on Mary as well. And maybe Mary was just lazy and didn't even try to make her dream come true.
Just like Junior

Chapter 8 #1
Junior experiences a difficult time in his life which is choosing to move to a new school which is 22 miles away from his home. He is leaving his home behind, the Indians on the reservation, and his best friend Rowdy. I also had experienced the same as Junior because I had to move states and schools. I used to go to school in Texas but my dad got a new job in Colorado so I had to leave everyone I knew behind. Though moving states at a young age wasn't as difficult, the hardest being in Colorado, where I had to go to a new middle school. When I moved middle schools, I left all my elementary friends behind and once I got in, I didn't know anybody at Fox Ridge. I decided to do this because it was the closest school to my house so it would be the most beneficial. It was hard to make friends in middle school since everyone else knew each other from their old elementary schools. Despite these hardships, I overcame this dilemma.
Junior's romantic sister!
In chapter five of Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian Junior is told of his sister Mary's dream to write romantic novels. His teacher told him that she was a very bright student and was always caught scribbling her stories into her notebook. He also told him that she was always reading a romantic novel so that she could understand how to write one of those types of stories. But sadly for some strange reason the dream started to fade. It kept on fading and fading as she moved through school until finally the dream was gone. This can happen to lots of people and their dreams. They start off with a dream that seems pretty realistic and reasonable, but then as time goes on the dream fades because they start to realize that the dream might be to difficult and impossible to reach. So I feel the message here is tho never give up on your dreams no matter the difficulty level. You should believe that your dreams can become a reality, as long as they are reasonable and within your reach.

ROWDY AND HIS REACTION TO REARDEN
Rowdy and Junior have been friends for a long time, but as Junior makes a decision to change from a poor school to a small rich school, Rowdy doesn't agree with Junior's decision at all. Rowdy and Junior have been through a lot together, from Rowdy reading comics and Junior making comics. Throughout the book, their relationships grew better and better. But then Junior realizes that the school that he is going is not helping him. He knows about this rich school, Rearden, and decides that Rearden is where he should be for a challenge and to help him throughout life. He finally make his decision and tells Rowdy. Rowdy did not like the decision. He screamed and punched Junior. Rowdy probably acted this way because they had such a close relationship and considering that Rowdy's Dad is always drunk and beating him and his mother, Junior seems to be the only one that Rowdy can talk to. Rowdy has been through a lot and with his best friend leaving, he probably isn't to please. So, even though Rowdy and Junior might not be best friends anymore, they'll probably always be friends in their own way.

What makes a FRIEND?

Period 2B
I think that I'm similar to my friends in many different ways. I also think that its better to have friends that are like you. The first reason i believe this is because if you have a friend who likes hockey, and you have a friend who likes soccer and they both hate each others activity and or hobby they probably would not be good friends. I also think that having friends who do not have the same interests is good. The reason I believe this is because since both like different things they can affect each other to like each others activity

Dedication Is Key
Junior's sister, Mary, wanted to write romance novels. She would always just wonder off in class, and write ideas in her notebook. His sister didn't tell anyone about her dream. Then all of the sudden she gave up. Mary didn't proceed with her dream. She just stopped. One factor that cause people to give up on their dreams is money. Sometimes people don't have enough money to get an education in order to achieve dreams. Another factor is family. Some families just shoot down someone's dreams, and make them lose hope. In the end, in order to achieve a dream, you must have dedication.
