Aboslutely true diary of a part time indian blog 3

When Arnold and Gordy are talking about how the native Americans now hate Arnold for going to school of the rez Arnold says at the end of the chapter "well now we have a tribe of two." It's interesting to see how people who don't have much in common find the one thing that they have in common just so they won't be lonely. Deployed soldiers do this a lot. Soldiers who don't have a thing in common other than the fact that they are soldiers can get along better then any other group of people on the planet because they are scared and lonely away from home. Arnold is the same way, scared and lonely away from his home.
