Chancellor Blog # 2
This section opens up with Tayo in bed, being nursed by Auntie and Old Grandma. Tayo believes that he isn't getting any better, and wants to go back to the hospital but, Old Grandma wants him to see a medicine man. The medicines man's name is Ku'oosh, and he's going to perform a scalp ceremony. In my opinion thats all you can really say that happened, because thats about everything big that did happen. My question from this is why would Grandma rather have a ritual that didn't always work try to cure Tayo when's there's medicine and other modern things that have actually proven to cure people. Do they believe in their rituals that mch? "Maybe you could help me anyway. Do something for me the way you did for the other who came back. Because what if I didn't know I killed one." I picked this quote, because what the medicine man said to Tayo probably made him feel better. Tayo was worries he had killed someone and it was making him think a lot.

Wow, Chancellor's put up a post. The reason the white medicine doesn't work is because Tayo's illness is in his head...he needs to be sent to a loony bin.
