Okay im still enjoying the book, but now it's getting all confusing and such. I don't really know where the present is anymore, is he still with Harley at the Bar and telling the story of Betonie or if he's with Betonie. There's also the part talking about the little boy and I'm not sure if it's some random kid or if it's Tayo.
but here are my quotes:
" 'Go ahead,' old Betonie said, 'you can go.' Most of the Navajos feel the same way about me. You won't be the first one to run away.' " pg 118
This quote shows how Betonie is either wise or has a deeper mental connection with Tayo. He continues to seem to read Tayo's mind and feel how he feels or know what he's thinking.
" 'Muh!' he called to her because he was hungry and he had found no food that morning. The woman with the reddish colored hair, the one who used to feed him was gone. Her shelter was already torn down, taken away in pieces by others in the arroyo." pg 109
This quote shows how the children were mistreated in Gallup, and shows how the poor living conditions were. It shows details of how disturbing the neighborhood is. It also creates a mystery of who the boy is whom the story follows.

Yeah, I got confused about the same thing with the boy. I didn't really get who it was until everyone said that it was Tayo.
ReplyDeleteRyder,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your post.
Mystery of who the boy is...the boy is Tayo. Why is that a mystery? Need to work on the ability to make inferences.
