Jennas 6th Blog

So, I got confused in this section. 
I'm pretty sure that Tayo went to go see Betonie at his house or something and this guy is the medicine man, right? So he went to see the medicine man because the white doctors didn't really do anything to help him. He tries to find out why hes so depressed and stuff. And he tells the story about how the white people got created or whatever. It was cool and inventive and stuff. 

I thought it was interesting when he was describing the guys face and the quote about "'My grandmother was a remarkable Mexican with green eyes,' he said." (119) I think its weird because that's how they described Night Swan, so I think that she is his Grandmother. I also liked how they just described his face. The comparisons of his cheekbones to hawks was a cool simile. 

So far, the book is okay. Its kind of hard for me to follow but its alright. Kind of boring in some places too.

  1. Jenna,
    Thanks for your post. Again, please work on the use of "so" to start your paragraph!
    Blah, blah, blah, You might get some help with understanding if you engage in the blog more by asking questions instead of complaining that it is boring or confusing.

  2. Isn't Night Swan younger than Betonie? I didn't like the white creation story- am I really a white fishbelly covered with hair?
