Discuss this realization, analyze the truck as a symbol, and examine the scene where Tayo confronts evil. How does he conquer the evil? • Tayo realizes in this section how the Enchanted Mesa is a “convergence point”.

What kind of “bear people” are in our society? How do we treat them? Focus on Betonie’s warning toTayo that not everything we don’t understand is because of witchery. • The story about where white people come from might affront white readers. What does this story mean and how might it be construed as racist? What does it say about white culture? Is it accurate? • The ceremony Tayo goes through connects the sand painting with reality and helps release much of Tayo’s angst. This ceremony seems to be very old as well, so discuss it’s origin and how it relates to Betonie’s grandparents.
