Zak G's "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" post 2 chapters "Tears of a Clown" through "My Sister Sends me an E-Mail"

The Book is getting much better actually and I am happy to see that Junior has actually made a friend besides Rowdy, who has a less chance of beating him up.  The book is still a little random for example the chapter "Tears of a Clown" was just about how he was in love with some girl on the reservation, it kind of confuses me as to why this is relevant to the story, if you Zakaria could give any opinions or ideas on this it would be greatly appreciated.  Although the book is kind of random I am able to see, or at least I think I can see, the main plot.  It seems like things are looking up for Junior at his new school which is good because it seems even today that the Native American people aren't fully understood, though a lot better than it seems in this book, and Junior is a cool kid so it is nice to see that things are looking up for him.  I also like that Junior has an optimistic attitude towards almost anything that is thrown at him, even when he is beaten on Halloween and has his money and candy taken, he gets back up and keeps going, which is a refresher from the book I read before this.  Lastly I would like to say that I think that Juniors new friend Gordy is a little weird but no doubt a cool person, I like how he is able to accept Junior even though Junior is pretty much on the lowest point of the social latter.
