1. The worst thing about being poor, (according to Junior's opinion), is that his family doesn't have enough money to take his dog, Oscar, to the vet.
"He’s really sick, Mom,” I said. “He’s going to die if we don’t take him to the doctor.”
She looked hard at me. And her eyes weren’t dark anymore, so I knew that she was going to tell me the truth. And trust me, there are times when the last thing you want to hear is the truth. “Junior, sweetheart,” Mom said. “I’m sorry, but we don’t have any money for Oscar.”

Explanation:
In his speech given before his surrender in 1877, Chief Joseph tells of his decision to no longer fight against the American army in the Battle of the Bear Paw Mountains. He states his surrender to the government for he had lost a lot of his Nez Perce people in the fighting.
In the speech titled "I Will Fight No More Forever", Chief Joseph laments how his people had been killed and scattered, leaving family members dead and missing, without food. He says <em>"The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say yes or no"</em>, implying that the young men are now the ones in authority to do and decide what the future becomes. He also reveals <em>"I am tired; my heart is sick and sad"</em>, and decided to fight no more.
