HALLOWEEN (pg. 79)
It wasn't much. Maybe ten bucks in coins and dollar bills.
But that money, and the idea of giving it to poor people, had me me feel pretty good about myself.
I was a poor kid raising money for other poor people.
It made me feel almost honorable.
Can you imagine how much strength it took this really poor Indian kid going to other poor Indians asking for money? Honestly I get the funniest picture in my head. Arnold going to houses asking these poor people for money, and then the people looking at him like hes crazy, but still giving up some change. Most people can't imagine how hard it is to ask someone for money, even if its not for yourself, but it is. This kid has GUTS, hes stronger then anyone I know. I really respect him. After he got beat up he had to admit, to a girl he liked, that he got beat up and the people took the money he was raising. That is what I concider bravery.
