Do they all need to be from ch 1? I'll give you a few quotes that you can sort through:

"And what's more, our white dentist believed that Indians only felt half as much pain as white people did, so he only gave us half the Novocain." pg 2

"Seriously, I know my mother and father had their dreams when they were kids. They dreamed about being something other than poor, but they never got the chance to be anything because nobody paid attention to their dreams." pg 11

Everybody on the rez calls me a retard about twice a day. They call me retard when they are pantsing me or stuffing my head in the toilet or just smacking me upside the head.

I'm not even writing down this story the way I actually talk, because I'd have to fill with stutters and lisps, and then you'd be wondering why you're reading a story written by such a retard. Do you know what happens to retards on the rez? pg 15

Thank you so much , I actually these quotes really helped me! But i need quotes from Junior that goes to Reardan
