Her new friend...

I found extreamly interesting this last chapters and i will tell you why. In a class Arnold got bored and he went to the bathroom. Thats when he heard vomiting noises coming from the girls bathroom. He wanted to know who was there but the girl told him to go away, he stayed to see who camed out and it was Penelope. It turns out she was bulimic. She wasnt anorexic but she told to Arnold that she isnt as perfect as everyone thinks she is, that she feels lonely and stuff. Long story short they became really good friends, you could even say they were a couple. Very fast Arnold became really popular and everyone new him. He started being more than friends with penelope so his racist dad intervined and told Arnold to get away from her. They also talk about their dreams and what they want to do when they grow up. The two of them really got along. Besides all this, Arnold missed Rowdy a lot. He didnt know what to do with his love for Penelope so he emailed Rowdy asking for advice but Rowdy was mad at him and it didnt help and then he tried to ask for help to Gordy and it didnt worked as well. During this chapters i found the meaning of the title, Arnold is a part-time indian becuase he goes to his reservation and back to reardan. Also in a part of the book Penelope found out that he is poor but she takes it really well. Her sister emails him and tells him about hes life. Later on he was accepted on the schools basketball team. Their first game was against Wellpinit high. When Arnold got there the crowd was jeering on him. He was thrown a coin at his head and a lot of lood started coming out so he couldnt play but eugene his fathers best friend puted stiches and he was able to come back to the court just to being punched by Rowdy and getting a concucion and ending in the hospital. I ended this last chapters knowing that Arnolds dad took the small amount of money that the family had and he decided to get drunk on christmas, he came back home days later with a hangover and 5 dollars as a gift for Arnold.

"And then i noticed that the only indian who hadnt turned his back on me was Rowdy. He was standing on the other end of the court. He passed a basketball around his back,around his back, around his back, like a clock. And he glared at me."

This was before Rowdy knock him out on the floor. We can infer because of his actions that he was waiting pasiently for Arnold to get on the court so he could do something to him. I think that Rowdy overreacted about Arnold changing of school.

" I took a digital photo of my smiling face, and emailed it to Rowdy. A few minutes later, he emailed me a digital photo of his bare ass. I dont know when he snaped that pic"

I think that Rowdy is inmature, i think that he is like a bully. Arnold just sended him a picture of him smiling and he responded with a very discuting picture, that is not a very respectful way to respond.

A lot of things happened in this chapters and i enjoyed reading it. I really want to know what happens next with Rowdy and Arnold. I dont really think that Arnold will take revenge but you never know.
