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”. Discuss the significance of this and how it relates to the concept that time is boundless (without boundaries) and is always in transition. • The poems in this section are fragmented, but related.

What kind of “bear people” are in our society? How do we treat them?

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.
