How It All Goes Down
- Dominick thinks about the Wequonnoc Indian cemetery and the Falls nearby.
- He remembers Ralph Drinkwater also had a twin, Penny Ann, who died at the falls; someone killed her, raped her, and dumped her over.
- Dominick feels guilty because he lied about her before she disappeared, saying she ate his Oreos (not a euphemism).
- After the death of his twin sister, Ralph Drinkwater basically disappeared until high school.
- Dominick remembers the time Ralph told off a teacher who was praising Manifest Destiny and how the Indians disappeared "because of progress" (13.41).
- Then he dropped out of school. The teacher didn't care, saying, "I guess the Indians have disappeared after all" (13.54). Holy racism, Batman.
