So this section wasn't that interesting. Like the only interesting part was the ceremony and how this one actually worked. And so after the ceremony Tayo is off to find Josiah's cattle. Tayo goes through an adventure and a half traveling. After the adventure he meet some random woman. I think it's weird how she just came out of nowhere and she's like GET IN MY PANTS! BUt besides that I enjoy how Tayo is recovering and becoming his oldself.
Quote:
"He knew that he had learned the lie by heart – the lie which they had wanted him to learn: only brown-skinned people were thieves; white people didn’t steal, because they always had the money to buy whatever they wanted."
I think this quote is whack but true because white people normally have money and other people suffered. Like in real life today people in Africa, even though they're a little more darker than brown skin, suffer from poverty and disease. They don't have money for help or vaccinations. And white people are serious rich and spend money on stupid stuff. So of course white people won't steal anything because they probably already have that certain item.

HAHAH! I like your description of Tayo's female friend.
ReplyDeleteI really liked that quote too. Really shows how people fit themselves into stereotypes against themselves. Crazy crazy.
I disagree with this not being interesting because there's a couple of random things that made think. Tayo is finally starting to seem like he isn't depressed and doesn't need to see a psychologists.
ReplyDeleteI think this passage had its ups and downs....to me the passage is interesting because Tayo is really coming out of his shell and is no longer depressed...and does anyone else find it strange that Tayo can get laid by different girls and he does not even try to get laid but it just happens????
