Part 4

                Junior committing suicide is a very tragic accident.  However, in my mind, it is completely against morals.  I just feel that it’s taking the easy way out of life.  I think people should handle their problems and be men about it.  By committing suicide though, it says that the person is too lazy or doesn’t want to try and fix the problems that they’re in.  Another idea that challenges what I think personally is Betty and Veronica selling “Indian songs”. 
            Cavalry Records wants to get Betty and Veronica and hope that they can sing and say that they’re Indians.  They are Indians, they just haven’t been on the reservation in a while.  Cavalry Records says, “I mean, they had some grandmothers or something that were Indian…  We can still sell that Indian idea.  We don’t need any goddamn just-off-the-reservation Indians.” (269)  This is what’s wrong with the world.  They just want music that appeals to the Indians not what actually sounds good.  Also, the Indians are kind of selfish by only listening to their own kind.  They should expand, and enjoy what they do because it sounds good, not because the person singing it is Indian.  This part really challenged my view of the Indians, and their morals.
