What is Arnold’s grieving ceremony? What connection do you see between this and the cartoon on 166?(ColinM)

      Ever since Eugene died, Junior had a tough time getting around the fact that Eugene was dead and that there was nothing he could do to change it. His attempts to cheer himself up consisted mainly of  "writing and rewriting, drawing and redrawing and revising and re-editing." (Alexie 178) This later turned into his grieving ceremony. Junior wrote about the happy things in his life, in the hope that he would appreciate them more, and be grateful for them, while they were still there to be appreciated. When Junior's grandma died, there were still countless questions to be asked and a hundred hugs to be given, which couldn't be given anymore because she was dead. This further shows that you should ask your questions and show your love before it's too late. Junior's grieving and grieving ceremony relates to the cartoon on 166. This cartoon depicts a man laughing and crying. This picture symbolizes that after all the grieving and crying comes happiness. This shows that bad things don't last forever and you can always overcome the hard times in your life if you try to stay positive.
