What does Arnold hide and ultimately reveal in “Dance Dance Dance?” What does he learn? Be sure to discuss the final sentence on page 129.
Arnold reveals to Roger and Penelope that he is poor. He reveals it through Penelope asking him, and then Penelope telling Roger that Arnold is poor. "'Can I ask you something big?' 'Yeah, I guess.' 'Are you poor?' I couldn't lie top her anymore. 'yes,' I said. 'I am poor,"'(127). After Arnold is forced to reveal his secret he realizes that there is a blessing in a curse. Although he is poor he still has supportive friends such as Roger, Penelope, and Gordy by his side. For example Gordy helps him with school, Roger drives him and is a nice friend to Arnold, and Penelope is always by Arnolds side no matter what. After Roger and Penelope heard Arnold was poor, I feel as they want to just help him more. Arnold now realizes that it's ok to be poor, and it's ok to tell people, because you can choose the people you want to trust.
