The Rez

On the reservation, Junior says that everyone on the rez knows each other and it is a very tight knit community. He contrasts this to the white Rearden community where he says that one can just melt into the chouch and isolate themselves, which is not uncommon. I think my community is more like that of the Rearden community because I don't know many of my neighbors. Especially since in the city there is a large amount of diversity in race, religion, politics, and culture, it is difficult for poeple to come together for one thing. Also, alcoholism is not a problem like it is on the rez and there is not the large amount of poverty and higher amount of opportunities.
