Devin Blog 8

Hey guys so heres my eighth blog

This section dealt a lot with Betonie’s future predictions coming true, from Tayo sleeping with the girl to the star formation appearing in the sky. Tayo is faced with questions of faith and trying to find his way back to his culture. A be in sync with it once more. To do this Betonie sends him on semi quests, but Tayo’s faith wavers and he questions what he will do or if he is strong enough. I like this section since it’s a real growing fase for Tayo.

“Old Betonie might explain it this way-Tayo didn’t know for sure: there were transitions that had to be made in order to become whole again, in order to be the people our mother would remember; transitions, like the boy walking in the bear country being called back softly.” (pg. 170)

“The sky is clear. You can see the stars tonight… He got up from the table and walked back through the rooms. He pushed the porch screen door wide open and looked up at the sky: Old Betonie’s stars were there.” (pg. 178)

A question i had is pretty random but is it truely necessary to have Tayo dream and think of the cattle nonstop, it seems a bit excessive.
And I'm wondering if Tayo will go back and revisit Betonie once again.
