What is Mr. P’s advice to Junior? Why does he give this advice?
The advice that Mr.P gives Junior is that he has to leave the rez so he wont give up hope. Everyone on this rez has given up hope. " All these kids have given up, all your friends all the bullies and their mothers and fathers". (Alexie 42). Alexie provided this quote to show, that it is not to late for him to become successful and have hope for his dreams. Also do not give up just because your on a rez and everyone else around you has given up. What Mr. P is trying to get at Juniour is that he is a special and intelligent kid that has ability's that nobody at the rez has so he should take those ability's into use and leave rez to have a better and more successful carrer.

I agree, Mr. P is trying to tell Junior to leave the reservation, so he can have a better life than all the other Indian people like him have. Mr. P knows that Junior is special and actually has a chance at leaving the rez. Mr. P says, "You're going to find more and more hope the farther and farther you walk away from this sad, sad, sad reservation. (Alexie 43) Junior takes this in immediately and talks to his parents about going to Reardon, a good school, instead of staying at his not as good school.
