Zak G's 4thpost TATDPTIndian, chapters "And a Partridge in a Pear Tree"- "Valentine Heart"

It seems that Junior and Juniors family has hit a rough spot.  I kind of feel bad for Junior and his family as a lot happened to them with the Grandma dying and the dads best friend.  I still like though how the spirits are still lifted with the Ted character showing up and how everyone began to laugh and it wasn't as sad anymore.  That Ted though was a real funny character even giving me a laugh with his long story just to realize that he was in the complete wrong.  I also liked how everyone on the rez has started to leave Junior alone as he is a cool kid and deserves better than what he is given.  It seems though, that at Rearden he has friends when everyone stood up (literally) for him because they realized that the teacher had crossed the line.  I was sort of angry at the teacher for mocking him like that because it is not right for someone to do that, trying to pick on someone who lost two very important people to them in a very short time.  I also like how not just the regular characters stood up for Junior but some characters from the back-ground (the other basketball players) stood up because it just adds a better feeling to the book that makes it a lot more enjoyable to read.
