I Thought that there were many similarities between the Movie and the Novel. The Characters were pretty similar. I saw Thomas as Arnold, because in the movie Thomas wanted to go with Victor so bad, he wanted to get off of the rez for a little bit. They both the more sensitive when it comes to people. Then Victor reminds me of Rowdy, they are the rough and tough guys. They both had very abusive dads who were drunk alot and were never around. Victor doesn't treat Thomas very well sometime, but other times he will stand up for him just like Rowdy does for Arnold. Also there friendships are tried at one point. At one point in the movie Victor blowsup at Thomas, and Rowdy and Arnold are no longer friends. But at the end of both of there journeys, they are friends again.
But Victor is also in a way like Arnold, they are both trying to find who they are. They are both going through hard and tough time in there lifes. They both have to find who they are as there own person. Victor has to figure out why everthing happened the way it did. Arnold has to figure out what he wants to do with his life. At the end Victor finds out that his father was the one who killed Thomas's parents and he could never live with the guilt so he left, because he thought that was the best for everyone. Hee finally found out that his father was very proud of him and wanted what was best for him. Arnold knew that if he would stay on the rez all his talents would go unseen and unwanted. When he went to the all White school he didn't know what to expect, but by the end of the Novel he had friends in both the White school and on the rez. He knew that he could do whatever he wanted and that he wanted to do something with his life.
I really enjoyed both the Novel and the Movie, I thought that they were both easy to understand and I could see the similarities in both very clearly.
