Day #4 - “If you’re good at something, and you love it, and it helps you navigate the world, then it can’t be wrong” (Deviyani)

In the quote “If you’re good at something, and you love it, and it helps you navigate the world, then it can’t be wrong” (Alexie, 95) Gordy is talking to Junior about his cartoons. Junior thinks that it is "pathetic" to take drawing as seriously as books but explains to him how they are his way of explaining his life and his world. "I use them to understand the world." (Alexie, 95) Many people have different outputs of their feelings, such as poetry, sculpture, music ect. and it happens that Gordy's is reading and Arnold's is drawing cartoons. Throughout the book Junior illustrates different parts of his life like people that are important to him or situations that he has been in. All of these thing have made an impact on him, big or small. He may also draw because of his social position. His family does not have much money and until now he went to a school that may have not been so great. Junior could draw because he wants to show his ideas but writing is not something that he is great at so he found something that he is and that he loves.
