Hey guys!
So on pages 1-29 I was extremely confused. I didn't really understand it at all because it jumps back and forth and that was really confusing, can anyone explain it to me? All I got was Tayo is a war veteran, WWII to be exact, and he fought in the South Pacific against the Japanese. I think I didn't understand it because I was really tired, but i was awake enough to love the style of writing. As in, that way Silko tells the story, with her actual words. I'm not a big fan of the jumping from time to time because I'm not sure WHERE Tayo is.

One thing I really like about Tayo is that he doesn't hate the Japanese, despite having fought them in the war. I think this shows a lot about his character.

I also like that Silko adds poetry format to stories or legend she is talking about. The elgends she includes are some of my favorite parts because they are so intriguing and the language used is beautiful.

So far, I'm not really into the book because I don't understand it.
