But not everyone thinks this news is positive. Here&#8217;s how Junior talks to his parents and his best friend, Rowdy about the decision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When his parents get home, Junior asks them, \u201cWho has the most hope?\u201d His parents look uneasily at each other, unsure of how to answer, but when Junior asks again, they say, at the same time, \u201cwhite people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Junior knew they\u2019d say that. Now he knows for sure where he and his hope need to go: to Reardan, the rich, redneck, racist farm town where the white kids go to school.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a kid on the rez, saying, \u201cI want to go to Reardan\u201d is like saying, \u201cI want to fly to the moon.\u201d No one leaves the reservation, certainly not to go to another school, and certainly not a white school. But Junior\u2019s parents put up little resistance. Even though Junior\u2019s dad once got pulled over in Reardan three times in one week for DWI (Driving While Indian), Junior\u2019s parents know Reardan is one of the best schools in the state. They suggest he wait until the following school year, but Junior insists that if he doesn\u2019t start the following day, he never will. Junior\u2019s parents agree. It\u2019s as if they\u2019ve been waiting for Junior to ask to go to Reardan. <strong>Like Mr. P, they see their son\u2019s potential and don\u2019t want him to end up drunk and impoverished like the rest of the Indians on the rez.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Saying Goodbye<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In &#8220;Rowdy Sings the Blues,&#8221; Junior has to tell Rowdy about his decision. The next day, Junior walks to his old school to tell Rowdy that he\u2019s switching schools. Rowdy is alone on the playground because all the other kids are afraid of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Junior wants to tell Rowdy that he loves him, but he knows that boys aren\u2019t supposed to say those kinds of things to each other and also that Rowdy would hate it, so he gets straight to the point and tells him that he\u2019s transferring to Reardan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first, Rowdy thinks Junior is joking, and he doesn\u2019t think it\u2019s funny. When Rowdy realizes Junior is serious, he mocks him and says he\u2019ll never go because he\u2019s too much of a \u201cwuss.\u201d Although Junior knows Rowdy well and, therefore, should know better, Junior makes two critical mistakes at this moment in the chapter &#8220;Rowdy Sings the Blues.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mistake #1:<\/strong> When Rowdy turns away, upset that Junior is leaving, Junior touches Rowdy\u2019s shoulder. Rowdy shoves him and calls him a \u201cretarded fag.\u201d This makes Junior cry. Then, to Junior\u2019s surprise, Rowdy starts to cry, too. The fact that he\u2019s crying makes Rowdy so mad that he starts screaming at Junior, accusing Junior of always thinking he\u2019s better than Rowdy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mistake #2:<\/strong> Junior tries to explain that he doesn\u2019t think he\u2019s better than anyone and touches Rowdy <em>again<\/em>. In response, Rowdy punches him. At that moment, Junior knows that his best friend is now his worst enemy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Rowdy Sings the Blues&#8221; is a difficult chapter because it deals with the loss of a friendship during a difficult time. Even though their friendship hits a rough patch, Rowdy and Junior later make up. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the chapter &#8220;Rowdy Sings the Blues&#8221; of the book The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian about?
