Nichole's Blog #3

Okay, let me just say that I thought that this section, pages 49-65, was the most confusing yet interesting yet.
I liked how Silko used flashbacks to what really happened the night at the bar between Tayo and Emo because before reading that I was unsure why Tayo wanted to kill Emo, but know I now. If I was in Tayo's position, I'd be pretty mad at Emo too. I mean Tayo was so affected by the war it was really uncool of Emo talking about it like another day at work. Also, I thought it was messed up how Emo kept calling Tayo out about hwo he's half-breed, because seriously who really cares?

I also found the flashback to when Tayo and Rocky first signed up for the army very interesting because it seemed as though Tayo was more unsure about joining then Rocky, even though Rocky already had plans for his future. But I thought it was rude of the Auntie to not allow Pocky to call Tayo his brother, jsut because Tayo's mother gave their family a bad name. Family is family, no matter what they do.
I am unsure to who the story about sleeping with the blond was about. Was it about Emo from his point of view or about Tayo from his point of view?

My favorite quote for this section: "Tayo could hear it in his voice when he talked about the killing- how Emo grew from each killing. Emo fed off each man he killed, and the higher the rank of the dead man, the higher it made Emo" Page 61
This is my favorite quote for this section ebcause it shows one of the many aspects that make Emo the buttface that he is. Unlike Tayo, Emo enjoyed killing in the war which means that he has no cmpassion for the lives of other people and just does things for his own enjoyment. This quote also shows how Emo is kind of messed up in the head, seeing how he grows off of each of his killings.
Oh yeah, I still really enjoy this book[:
