#5. Rospond to one of the quotes to note: I draw because words are to unpredictable... words are too limited." People can genuinely comprehend what Junior really means through his drawings. (Nilu)
 
     Junior is not the best at talking; he is better at drawing. In fact, he is an amazing artist! When he draws, Junior likes to express himself, whether that means drawing himself, what he could be, or what he wants to be. But the things that have happened/are happening in Juniors life are complex, to complex for him to say in words. Junior is not so popular on the reservation, as described in "The Black-Eye-of-the-Month Club". He has a stutter, and because of that, and other features, is bullied. This does not leave him with many people to talk to. He uses his drawings to go further than he can with words because "words are too limited..." (Alexie 5). Using words, not many people can truely understand what Junior means. This is the opposite with drawings. "When you draw a picture, everybody can understand it..." (Alexie 5). This may be what Junior means when he says that "words are too unpredictable" (Alexie 5). Junior draws because people can understand what he really means through his artwork.
