Question

in early september 1980, my father drove my big brother, arnold, and me from our home on the spokane indian reservation twenty miles south for my first day of eighth grade and my big brothers first day of eleventh grade in reardan, washington. my brother and i became the only spokane indians in the reardan school district, which was 99 percent white. we were brown kids in a sea of white kids inside an ocean of wheat fields. id made the decision on my own to leave wellpinit. but i dont remember why my big brother had followed my lead. he was a great basketball player, and reardan had a legendary sports program, so i can only assume he transferred for athletic reasons. he and i were brothers, but i think hed always been emotionally closer to his reservation indian friends and cousins than hed ever been to me, which explains why he dropped out of reardan and returned to the rez school. i love my brother. and i didnt want to be alone in a white town. i didnt want to be the only one. so i almost followed him back to the rez. but then i didnt. because the thing you learn as a hugely ambitious indian is that youre often going to be the only one in the room, so youd better get used to it. guiding questions question 1 of 5 the narrator transferred to a new school with his brother but... a he did not like being alone so he transferred back. b they both had to leave the new school for basketball. c he chose to stay at the new school when his brother left. d he never saw his brother because his brother had his own friends.
