Junior Meets Gordy in The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Junior continues to feel like he\u2019s split in two: He wakes up as an Indian (Junior) and arrives at Reardan as a nobody (Arnold). No one talks to him or even looks at him. He eats lunch by himself and plays catch with himself during P.E.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the plus side, Junior discovers that he\u2019s smarter than almost everyone in the school. For instance, one day in geology class, the teacher marvels at how amazing it is that wood can turn into rock. Junior raises his hand, for the first time ever at Reardan, to correct his teacher, telling him that petrified wood isn\u2019t actually wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Junior\u2019s classmates are shocked that he\u2019s bold enough to contradict a teacher, and the teacher is angry and indignant, telling Junior that if he\u2019s so smart, he should tell the class how it works. Junior does, explaining that minerals take the place of wood molecules, so there\u2019s no wood left by the time it has become \u201cpetrified wood.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The teacher doesn\u2019t believe Junior and mocks his shoddy reservation education, but Gordy in The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian<\/em>, is the class genius and raises his hand to confirm that Junior is right. Even the teacher knows that if Gordy<\/em> says petrified wood isn\u2019t actually wood, he\u2019s right. The teacher thanks Gordy for sharing this interesting fact, ignoring Junior completely. Meanwhile, Junior thinks longingly of the days when he was treated like a human being <\/strong>and his teacher told him he was smart and deserved the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After class, Junior thanks Gordy for sticking up for him, but Gordy says he was sticking up for science, not Junior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That night, Junior rides the bus to the end of the rez, where the line stops. As usual, he waits exactly thirty minutes for his father to pick him up, and when his father doesn\u2019t show, Junior starts walking home. Often, Junior\u2019s able to hitch a ride with someone, but three times, he\u2019s had to walk the full 22 miles from the bus stop home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Junior Gets a Study Buddy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Junior is himself inspired by his sister\u2019s bravery. The next day, he approaches class genius Gordy in The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian<\/em>, who says he\u2019s too busy<\/a> to talk to Junior because he has to go debug some PCs. Gordy\u2019s mildly irritated because he prefers the \u201cpoetic\u201d Mac to the PC. After Junior shrugs and says that \u201ccomputers are computers,\u201d Gordy sighs and asks if Junior wanted to talk to him or just bore him with tautologies. Junior doesn\u2019t know what tautologies are, but he doesn\u2019t want to let on that he doesn\u2019t know and look like an illiterate Indian. But Gordy quickly gathers that Junior doesn\u2019t know the term and teaches him that it\u2019s a redundancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Junior asks if \u201cGordy is a dick without ears and an ear without a dick\u201d is a tautology. Gordy says no, it\u2019s not, but he thinks it\u2019s funny and tells Junior he has a \u201csingular wit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the inauspicious start of their friendship. Junior thinks Gordy is weird, but he also thinks he and Gordy have a lot in common. Junior believes that, just like he is, Gordy is lonely and terrified.<\/strong> While they don\u2019t become best friends, they start to study together, and Junior finally has an ally at Reardan. Gordy in The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian<\/em> becomes his friend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Joy of Learning<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

One day, Junior is shocked when Gordy tells him that books should give Junior a boner. Not knowing what to make of that, Junior runs with Gordy to the library, where Gordy demands that Junior marvel at all the books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Junior\u2019s unimpressed. It\u2019s a small library. Gordy confirms that there are exactly 3,412 books (he\u2019s counted), making it a relatively small library. But he points out that you could read one library book a day and it would take almost ten years to read every book in the room. Even small pockets of the world are full of potential knowledge.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes Junior think of his hometown, Wellpinit<\/a>, and he realizes that even the smallest, most seemingly insignificant places are full of mystery.<\/strong> Junior finally gets Gordy\u2019s point and is in awe, understanding that the more you learn, the more you learn that there\u2019s more to learn. This<\/em> is the idea that Gordy thinks should give everyone a \u201cmetaphorical boner,\u201d his comical term for joy. Gordy in The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian<\/em> teaches Junior that the hard work of learning can be joyous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
