What do you make of Arnold’s relationship with his grandmother? (Nanako)

Junior's Grandmother and himself have a very strong relationship. You can see the resemblance of their humor. In this quote it shows the humor the Grandmother has and how she can lighten the mood when Junior is down. "She pretended to kick a big guy in the crotch and we both laughed." (Alexie 68) Junior and his Grandmother have a light and deep relationship. They have a humorous side, but also they have a deeper more meaningful side where Junior can come to his grandmother with any questions he has with his life. This quote it shows how his Grandmother's advice does help sometimes. This took place when Junior arrived at school and realized that Roger was showing respect to Junior, like his grandmother said. Junior is talking to himself and realizing this after his doubts. "Maybe Grandma was right. Maybe I had challenged the alpha dog and was now being rewarded for it. I love my grandmother. She's the smartest person on the planet." (Alexie 72). Junior admires and looks up to his grandmother and is very grateful for the loving relationship they have.
