#4 What is “absolutely the saddest thing in the world” (31)? Explain why Junior says this and the implication.

 Junior says that the absolutely saddest thing in the world is that his geometry book was used by his mother over 30 years ago. Junior loves algebra he always has but this grossed him out in the way that he nobody else cares about geometry. "And I was especially excited about my first geometry class...Agnes Adams is my mother...and let me tell you, that old,old,old, decrepit geometry book hit my heart with the force of a nuclear bomb. My hopes and dreams floated up in a mushroom cloud. ( Alexie 25-31). Arnold was a kid who had hopes and dreams of being able to build houses because of his love for geometry., but will his love fade? In conclusion, old geometry books are the saddest thing in the world.
