"How does Junior change throughout the novel? What do you consider his most significant changes and why?"

Junior used to be a deamer and did not take action in the beginning of the novel. On page 6 Junior says, "So i draw because i feel like it might be my ony real chance to escape the reservation." Junior never states his plan of how he is going to get his drawings out there for others to see. How could he if every one is drunk and he is stuck in some poor dead end school? Later on in the book you see his drawings are not what get him out of the reservation, but taking action and wanting to further his education gets him toward the path of getting off the reservation.
I consider Juniors most significant change to be grasping self confidence. In the beginning of the novel he talks about himself as if he is a true retard. Through out the novel you see Juniors confidence grow. For example when he scores Penelopes heart, stands up to Roger, and when he makes the varsity basketball team. When Junior has his interview with the reporter is great showing of his new found confidence.
