ARNOLD AS A PART-TIME INDIAN

OPTION 1: GORDY SAYS THAT WEIRD PEOPLE ARE REJECTED BY THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE THEY DON'T MAKE AN IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION.  DO YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH THAT STATEMENT? EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER.

OPTION 2: ARNOLD IS EMBARRASSED THAT HE HAD NO MONEY TO GO OUT AFTER THE PROM.  SHOULD HE HAVE ADMITTED HE HAD NO MONEY? SHOULD SOMEONE ADMIT THAT HE IS POOR AND DOESN'T HAVE MONEY FOR THINGS?  SHOULD HE FAKE IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE?  GIVE YOUR REASONS FOR YOUR ANSWER.
