I think the book has gotten much more interesting and cleared up a lot. Especially since the author goes back in depth about other flashbacks and gives us a clearer description of what actually happened. Now we know what was going through Tayo’s mind during the bar fight, and his motives. I feel that Tayo lives his life in a very different manor. He doesn’t quite have a specific moral he sticks to. I’m wondering what you guys think, but here is a quote to back up my statement.
“Tayo didn’t say anything because they both knew why. The people said you should do that before you gutted the deer. Out of respect.” (pg. 51)
“Rocky slit the throat. Blood spilled over the grass and into the dirt; it splashed on his boots. He didn’t believe in drinking the warm blood as some hunters did.” (pg.51)
I found these quotes to show that he contradicts himself, like eating ice cream but not drinking milk or something like that.

That's a weird thought. I think that it was Rocky's choice not to do some of the traditions but why do you think Tayo didn't try to get closer through the traditions with Rocky?
ReplyDeleteDevin,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your post. I am confused by your post though. What do you mean by Tayo lives in a different "MANNER"? How do your quotes show he doesn't stick to a specific moral? One quote shows Tayo respecting the deer, while the other is ROCKY disrespecting the deer.
Anyone else?

I think the reason Tayo has no real moral he sticks to is because he is a weak person...this also explains why he can't get on with his life. Seriously man, quit being so mopey. It's almost like I'm reading The Catcher in the Rye...
