Howdyyyyy.
So 139 - 166. Is preeeeeetty much Tayo getting himself treated. The poem in the beginning about the hunter who has taken on the personality (and form?) of a coyote, and they need to go through a ceremony to treat him.
Betonie then uses this ceremony to try to fix Tayo, or, so I assume. I'm pretty sure the events were related because both affected their minds (their being Tayo and the hunter from the poem), and changed them into something entirely different.
Betonie talks about his freak-o relatives and how his grandaddy wanted a little like two year old mexican girl (she's actually like twelve though right?). But seriously, apparently she came out of nowhere. Freeeeeeaky.
Then Helen Jean gets all up in it. Question, is she a prostitute or just a beggar?
ba ba da baaaaaaaaaam, quotes!
Basically, I'd like to just say the eeeeentire poem about the coyote. That was super interesting. Geoff was super misleading in our literary circles today, because he said that it only changed his (the hunter)'s mind because he was thinking like a coyote. Then Jessica went all 'oh no you di'nt' on him and pointed out it talked about the tail.
anyhooo. that's all.
goodnight everyone
especially YOU 'nay'nay! (:

Jaylen,
ReplyDeleteSmart...taking the extra credit opportunity. Keep reading.
I think I would say that Helen Jean is a woman who is taking advantage of a situation. Although she would be viewed as a prostitute by some.
