Ok so up to page 196 thebook is alright it has some good parts and some confusing parts. Ok one part that was cool was Betonie's vision about the girl is that Tayo finds the woman and makes love to her like he was suppose to I guess. At first when they meet she is kinda a stranger but what stood out to me was like it was as if she knew that someone had sent him for the cattle. I don't know maybe she is in on it with Betonie. After when Tayo gets water for his horse and stuff he is about to go to sleep outside but this woman tells him to come inside and join her and they get straight to it doing the grown up."The sky is clear. You caqn see the stars tonight." She spoke without turning around. (178) This shows evidence of Betonies vision coming true he meet the girl and is seeing the stars. Tayo then goes on the look out again for his uncle's cattle feeling that this is something he has to do. Tayo sings a happy song about sunrise and this shows how much Tayo has improved from the ceremony. He is now happy and is singing good happy songs. Not like before cursing the rain and such. Tayo finds this mountain that has been taken over pretty much by the white people just searching for his cattle. Tayo later finds his cattle riding north however they are on a white man's land Floyd Lee's land. If he had seen the cattle on land-grant land or in some Acoma's corral, he wouldn't oh hesitated to say "stolen."(190) This quote shows the inner conflict Tayo is going through he just can't blame the white guy for stealing it just didn't work for him. Tayo has always been taught that white people never stole because they had money to buy anything they wanted. This is a really good conflict in the book Tayo just can't believe that a white person can do anything bad like steal. Thats what happens when you are raised around all their lies. You just can't see the truth. However Tayo starts cutting the fence anyway just hoping not to get caught I want to read on to see what will happen to Tayo. Will he get caught or come away clean keep reading to find out.
