Nichole's Blog #8

This section, out of all read so far, had the least confusing flashbacks but that's only in my opinion. I don't recall reading about why Harley and Leroy got beat up, so if anyone knows I'd like it if you could share your knowledge with me. I've realized that, like what Tasha pointed out, this section was more about how having the ceremony done affected Tayo's every day life. Like so, Being alive was alright then: he had not breathed like that for a long time. Page 181, this quote is evidence that Tayo has changed after the ceremony. I thought that it was messed up how Tayo just left his beaten-up friends in a truck on the side of the road, just to go to some lady's house, who he ends up doing the nasty with. If I was Tayo's friends and I found out he did that, I'd be so super mad. I also noticed how this section was based on blaming the white people for everything bad that has happened to the Native Americans. That's uncalled for because it's not like eveyr single white person was involved in making the Native American's lives miserable.
