Describe the difficulty and/or ease with which Arnold transferred to his new school in The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian.

DIFFICULTIES: The other kids made fun of his name. He
wanted to be called Junior, and that seemed strange to them. After hearing his name read
as Arnold Spirit, they thought that was funny too. Junior is ignored by the pretty girls
and the jocks even though he desperately wants to be one of them. As time goes on at his
new school, he feels more and more alone and loses more and more of his heritage every
day.

EASE: Eventually, Junior comes to realize that he is
in fact more intelligent than most of the kids at the new school and this is evidenced
by who he makes a friend. Gordy is the local school nerd who accidentally stuck up for
Junior and this seals the beginnings of their friendship.
