GPT 3.5
Junior is surprised by the outpouring of sympathy he receives from his classmates at Reardan because he has always been seen as an outsider and has faced discrimination for being Native American. He is used to being ignored or mistreated by his peers, so the sudden compassion and support from them shocks him. Additionally, Junior may have internalized the idea that he is not worthy of sympathy or understanding due to his low self-esteem and feelings of inadequacy.
