The chapter is entitled, The Black Eye of the Month Club" because that is the group that Junior sees himself as belonging to. At least once a month, he is beat up by the other boys on the reservation, which usually leaves him with a black eye. Junior is a member of the group of kids that he terms "retards", who are picked on regularly.
