#2 Interpret/explore/explain the context and the significance of the quote “Every white person on this res should get smashed in the face. But let me tell you this. All the Indians should get smashed in the face, too.” (42) -Ben
All the people on the reservation deserve to be
smacked in the face. All, except for Junior gave up. All the other Indians gave
up. As shown in the picture on page 43 hope is away from the reservation which
is why he needs to leave. He would not be able to leave if he had given up.
Since the other Indians gave up they no longer have hope, outside of the
reservation. The white people in the reservation taught the Indians to give up.
They should get smacked in the face for this. They are taking away hope and
killing the Indian culture thinking it will save children. Both sides are
wrong, so both deserve a smack in the face. Both sides though need to be
forgave, so the next generation can be given hope.
