I have learned more about Junior as a character as I read more of this book. I learned that he is not afraid to say what is on his mind when he insults the genius kid from science class. He uses harsh language which makes the story more entertaining in my opinion. Another thing I learned was how poor of an education that Junior is getting. There are teachers like Mr. P who sleep during class. There are also teachers who do not understand their subject because of the lack of teachers at his school.
I also found it upsetting that Junior has had to walk home. I wondered how his family car breaks down daily and still runs occasionally. As a student at Episcopal, I would also have to walk about 22 miles to get home. I do not understand how his parents wouldn't freak out if Junior didn't get home after 2 or 3 hours after school. It makes me feel sympathetic for Junior due to his regular hitch-hiking schedule after school.
