Hope. Hope is the backbone of humanity. Nothing good can be accomplished without hope. Nothing bad can be stopped without hope. Hope is the water to the successful and the poison to the unsuccessful. Junior has hope that's why he is special compared to the rest of the rez. Hope is the only way anyone can get out of the rez and do something meaningful with their lives. The rez is trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty, one without hope. Junior is the only one who can break that cycle and let some hope in. The reason Junior is so special is first that he has something the people on the rez don’t have, a fuel to fight, hope and, the want for something better in life.

Junior has always been smart, happy and, grateful but that is not why he is so special. He is special because he cares about his future and believes that he and most of the other Indians deserve better. On page 31 Junior said “And let me tell you that old, old, old, decrepit geometry book hit my heart with the force of a nuclear bomb. My hopes and dreams floated up in a mushroom cloud. What do you do when the world has declared a nuclear war on you?” This quote reveals how junior can fight for things as small as his geometry book when if another person on the rez saw it they wouldn't care. The next reason Junior won’t give up is that he has hope. On Junior’s reservation, the only way anyone is going to get out and have a meaningful life is if you have hope. Junior is a speck of hope in the ocean of hopelessness. On page 43 Mr. P said, “You're going to find more and more hope the farther and farther you walk away from this sad, sad, sad, reservation.” Junior knows the only way he can grow his hope is to be brave and leave his home to go to
