Well I just finished reading pages 139-166, and this section was my favorite out of all. I found it very interesting how they went about Tayo's scalp ceremony, with him sitting in the middle of the whole drawing thing and them chanting and what not. Although, I still don't understand why they had to slice Tayo's head open, was that some way to release Tayo's inner-demons from war or something like that? Also, was the dream that Tayo had after the first part of the ceremony supposed to be symbolic or foreshadowing? Because I thought it was kind of weird how he just dreamt of speckled cattle. I find it pretty whack how Betonie's grandfather just randomly married that Mexican lady with the green eyes just because she couldn't be sent home. If I were in her position, I would've tried to go back home before marry Descheeny.
Quotes:
"He wanted to leave that night to find the cattle; there would be no peace until he did." Pg. 45
"The effects of the witchery of the evil thing in his surroundings began to turn away. It had gone a great distance it had gone below the North." Pg. 153
