The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

I need help with this question, can you help me with this please.

Some say that Junior/Arnold went through a lot in order to escape the reservation. Support this statement. Think of at least two specific examples from the book that make the above statement true.

Junior went through practically the whole reservation seeing him as a "sell-out". Arnold's decision to attend white school in Rearden created animosity amongst some natives who saw Arnold turning his back on his own kind. Arnold faced a lot of backlash from this like when people through change at him at the basketball game. Arnold had to prove himself at the white school. He was truly a "fish out of water". He had to navigate through a lot of racism to be accepted by other students.
