Friday/ title:Code Talker, chapter 4 Progress, TRADITION IS THE ENEMY OF PROGRESS/min:15,pgs:23-27

Ned was walking and then a teacher walks by so Ned, or Kii, greets him as the tradition is but as soon Ned had enough he trough him to the ground and a boy helped Ned up, it was Tommy Nez and he was the first boy that was befriended by Ned, and another boy helped that was named Jesse Chee. Ned now would never say any thing that is Navajo in order to avoid that again. Days turned into weeks and months into years, Ned had the best grade and still speaks Navajo when there arn't any teachers around. Ned learned many new things and that there are some kids that keep speaking Navajo that washing their mouths isn't enough, so there are some kids that get beaten by big, heavy sticks and there is one kid that was getting hit and the stick broke and that the kid was used to it that he didn't even cry. Ned will still learn hard of the Americans way but still remember that Navajo language, just in case it might come in handy.
