Junior struggles with poverty. That's not too bad if everybody around you is poor but being poor at the white school in Reardan is a major inconvenience. The pictures reflect all the things that Junior can't do because he is poor. He has to come up with lame excuses about why he cannot do anything with his new white friends because he simply has no money.
