This is the first time you hit something when you throw
We can't believe you threw a book at a teacher.
One Week Later
Hi Junior
Oh Mr P.
Because...um...I...
Do you know why you hit me with that book?
Uh...what?
Junior gets suspended and his parents and sister talk to him while his grandmother is crying making him ashamed.
You did something very bad and I want to hit you but I can't since I want forgiveness for hurting Indians.
Junior is a week into suspension and is sitting on the porch when he meets Mr. P.
I am mad at everyone on the reservation for giving up hope but you deserve better and you need to believe that.
They start talking when Mr P. asks Do you know why you hit me with that book? and Junior tries to come up with an excuse.
Hope????
Mr P. tells Junior that he did something very bad and that he wants to hit Junior with a stick but he can't because he wants forgiveness for hurting the Indians.
He tells Junior that he is mad at Indians and everyone on the reservation for giving up hope and tells Junior to believe that he deserves better which makes him cry.
Mr. P. tells Junior to leave the reservation and find hope, and Junior ponders about it.
