Pst #5 Question Number 2: Who is the first game against?...

The first game was against Arnolds old school. The crowd was cheering, "ARNOLD SUCKS! ARNOLD SUCKS!" The coach provides support he is there for Arnold and so are his teammates. When Arnold laughed at the Indians and the coach and teammates supported him by laughing with him. "'If you care about something enough, its going to make you cry. But you have to use it. Use your tears. Use your pain. Use your fear. Get mad, Arnold, get mad," (Page 145). The coaches is there for him and he feels Arnolds pain. The coach wants Arnold to use his sadness and get mad. The coach's words impacted Arnold to get mad and want to beat the other team. He also felt support from the the white people and angry with the Indians. He wanted Arnold to use his pain to crush his old school. Then Arnold went into the game someone threw a quarter at him. That incident cause him to get takened out of the game. Even though Arnold never got to "get mad" he still felt like the coach and his team had his back.
