In this moment Junior thinks about what he is when he travels between Reardan and Wellpinit. However this moment is also about Junior showing what makes him a stranger and different to everybody else but not in a good way. Junior says being Indian is like having a part time job that doesn’t pay well, this shows that Indians are poor because he says that the job doesn’t pay so it is referring to a small amount of money. This also shows that it is like Junior is not completely Indian but he is partly Indian and it is the same as having a full time job that shows that a person that has a full time job is known at their job and that they belong in that job. The quote ‘Stranger’ suggests that Junior betrayed the other Indians and that Junior is not one of them any more because he betrayed the Native Americans by leaving them and going to Reardan. This annoyed the other Native Americans because this made the Native Americans think that Junior was thinking less of them and that Junior did not accept what they were giving him even though the Native Americans were poor.
