Reading Response

In the following the most recent chapter of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian.  I find Rowdy's reaction towards Arnolds decision very melo-dramatic.  I believe he wasn't really angry but in fact wanted to portray to Arnold how sad he was without losing face.  In my opinion He could have better composed himself despite his age playing a a part in his tantrum.  The fact that Arnold had tried convincing Rowdy to join him on his adventure even though he knew the most likely outcome shows his naivety

Arnolds choice for a new school still has me befuddled.  I wonder why Arnold would  put himself out there when he knew the finacial difference between him and the rest of them. The fact that his parents agreed so willingly also vexes me.  They themselves had said getting to the school would be hard and that the tribe would turn against Arnold.  So why would they let Arnold put himself in such a position.?
