I thought this was a great story that illustrated not only the challenges of a Native Americans' struggle through an identity crisis but the struggles that anyone can go through with failure. while he was given a white boys education and the opportunity to be part of the white mans world, he was unsure about which world he wanted to live in. the discrimination and suspicion he faced along with the insecurity of success, drove him back in to the reservation he came from and into a depression from the sense of failure.
My favorite sentence in this story was after he lost to the white boy in basketball, ''The next morning I woke up tired and hungry, so I grabbed the want ads, found a job I wanted and drove to Spokane to get it". He was tired of failure and hungry for some sort of success, and he used the spur of the moment motivation to get himself out of his depression and move forward in his life. motivation and a drive for success
