Reservation

To Junior and the other Native Americans the reservation is a prison that'll keep them from succeeding in life and make them stay poor. However Junior works hard to leave the reservation and succeeds in Rearden where everyone has hope there. A lot of the Native Americans on the Reservation are angry that Junior left and betrayed them. They are most likely jealous that Junior has the courage to leave his home and go to a place with complete strangers in order to succeed in life. In my neighborhood there is pace that I compare to the reservation, it's my neighborhood high school, Benito Juarez High School. Everyone in my neighborhood knows it's one of the worst high schools in the city, probably even in the state. Hardly any of the students graduate, there are a lot of fights there, some students get arrested, some are on drugs, and some girls even get pregnant. It's so bad that a lot of parents use it's reputation to threaten their children, for example "If you don't get good grades you'll end up going to Juarez were you'll get robbed and beat up" . However jut like Junior there are some people at this high school who work very hard to leave that high school and move on in life in order to succeed, To my knowledge there have been 2 students that have graduated from Juarez High school and gone to Harvard University. This is why Benito Juarez High School is the Rez in my neighborhood, it has a very bad reputation, and most of the people there end up failing in life, nut there are "Juniors" that go above and beyond and succeed at life when they were given such harsh circumstances.
