Back on the whole flashback thing, I never really understood when the present time was for the book because of all the flashbacks and I cant figure out what order the events come in.
YAY! 3 MORE WEEKS OF SCHOOL!

OKAY! So, this book confuses me. The whole flashback thing makes it a wee bit difficult for my feeble yet brilliant mind to follow. So basically what I got from this section is that Tayo is a little clearer in his own head since the ceremony. He also seems to be more comfortable with his heritage and stuff. They are also SUPER hating on the whities in here. I agree with what Tasha said: that its pretty lame to criticize someone based upon their race ESPECIALLY because of what some people of the same race did in history. Yeah, I'm white, but did I own a slave? Nope. Did I fully screw over the Native Americans? I DONT THINK SO!!! Anyhoo, Tayo got busy with a stranger, "mystery woman." I also agree with Tasha on the not-so-cleanly part of this. Umm, EW! I am waiting for the point to this book, other than his self realization and stuff, I mean its an okay topic, but its kinda lame to base a whole book on someones battle of trying to accept himself for who and what he is. I just hope there is something bigger coming.

yup. I agree with the white people thing. but on a level of we set up rascism by ourselves by making all one race seem the same. I dont agree with whatever geoff said cause I just did not get it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on the white people thing, not ALL white people are bad, and the thing about hoping for something bigger to happen.
